    • Favorite Thing: Murano has a less frenetic feel than Venice itself. You really felt as if you were living here rather than just visiting as you shopped and strolled along the canals with the locals.

    • Murano - Grand Police Station

    • Favorite Thing: The architecture was as fine as anything you'd seen on Venice itself. This palazzo for example caught our eye. Its found not far from the iron bridge spanning the Canal Grande on Murano.
    On our lasat visit to Murano we ventured inside this palazzo and discovered it was the police station and local community officces!

    • Favorite Thing: Murano has its own quiet calles and campos - this broad area led down to the lighthouse by the Faro waterbus stop. By day it was lined by cafes but was almost deserted in the evenings.

    • Fondest Memory: The large Campo by the Locanda Conterie, with its central fountain seemed to be the hub of local life - it was illuminating to just sit here with a picnic lunch and watch the locals at work and play. These images are just a few that we tried to captured the everyday life of the Muranese.
    The local Osteria here was very popular with the menfolk at lunchtime. i popped my head in and the inside was much better than the outward appearance belied and the paata dishes were some of the cheapest we saw on Murano - about 6 euros. Many locals were tucking into good platefuls here.

    • Murano - funeral boat

    • Favorite Thing: Being on an island means transport is all by water for everything. Fruit and veg boats would be moored by the canlaside for locals to do their shopping. One morning we saw a church decked out with flowers for a funeral and sure enough not long later the funeral coffin was gliding down the canal.....
