Easily reached by ferry from the norhern terminus, Murano was the centre for glassware. It was once the biggest producer of glass in Europe. Murano glass was so highly regarded that glass artisans were afforded incredible privileges (but heaven help them if they wanted to leave...). It's still a major place to buy glassware, and most of the tourism is based around this. It's an interesting island, made up of many canals interconnected by bridges - plenty of history remains (Basilica dates from 12th century although there is some seriously bad 19th century rennovations) and is well worth time out - whether you're interested in glassware or not.
