    • Not your usual place to visit I grant you, but on walking through the back streets of the Island of Murano we found this beautiful and very well kept up cemetery.

    Im sure if we had headstones like this in England they would sadly be smashed very quickly.

    To get to the cemetery its called Cimtero Nuovo on the maps and from the Venier waterbus stop go right up St Com del Cimtero and its straight ahead.

    • if you wish to spend some time in Venice away from the crowds its worth getting the Vaporetto to the Giardidni stop and walk through the Gardens of Garibaldi and Giardini.

    At night if you walk along the Viale dei Pubblici ie the coastal path you see the big tower with the light display seen in the photo.

    A 15-30 minute walk along the waters edge takes you back to St Marks square.

    • Murano glass museum is obviously located on the Island of Murano, no surprise there !

    Its open Winter - 10am -4pm and Summer 10am -5pm Thu-Tue.

    Its not a huge museum and wont take too long to go round but does give a fascinating insight into history of glass and how glass is made.

    Its located a few step from Museo waterbus stop on Murano.

    • We took the Vaporetto to the Island of Murano and got off at Colonna stop and walked along Fondamenta dei Vetrai which is lined solidly with shops selling glass of all designs.

    We did find that you can buy the glass just as cheap if not cheaper in shops in venice which were away from the main tourist areas.

    The island is worth a visit if you are staying for say 3 days.

    Vaporettos 41 and 42 will get you to this island in about half an hour.
