Venice & the Veneto - Murano, Burano & the Northern Islands (PDF Chapter)

Murano’s glass workshops conjure writhing chandeliers and gem-bright jewellery from their red-hot furnaces.

- maps
- witness artistry in action at Murano’s glass-blowing showrooms, and reward the skill and originality with purchases of unique mementoes to take home
- transport
- watch colourful houses shimmer with delight at their own reflections in the canals on Burano
