  • There is a glass shop about every five feet in Venice. Undoubtably, much of the glass is the world famous Murano glass. Unfortunately much of it is not. A lot of the glass comes from former Russian block countries who also make lovely glass. But if you wanted Murano then you aren't buying the right thing. Murano glass pieces should be stamped right on them. If you just wanted a souvenir, then it really doesn't matter which one you get. If you want it to be from Murano, you are better off taking the vaporetti to Murano and buying something from a factory. The glass will be expensive though so be ready!
