  • If you've got more than 1 day in Venice, a trip to one of the Lagoon Islands should be in your list. The most popular are Burano and Murano.
    Murano is the closest, and accessable by a 20 minute boat ride from San Marco and other departure points in Venice. (Transportation tip on my page tells you how to get there).

    The island offers a break from the often overbearing crowds of Venice. The island is famous for it glass works, with most shops, a museum, and many factories on the island dedicated to the art of glasswork.

     I have been to Venice while serving in the US Military Police a few years ago. I would really like to come back and bring my wife.
