Things To Do While Visiting Burano as a family

Burano is famous for pastel-colored homes in the Venetian Lagoon. It’s only 40 minutes by vaporetto from Venice. Similar to Venice and Murano, it’s connected by canals and bridges and filled with colorful fishing boats which match the brightly colored houses. It’s honestly a photo-lover’s paradise visiting Burano.

I felt like I was walking in a storybook touring this charming little island. As you wander alongside the canals and cross the bridges you’ll notice the leaning bell tower of the Church of San Martino.

Burano Lace

Burano is also known for its handmade lace. It’s part of the island’s history and culture. La Perla, a cute little shop on the mainstreet where we were able to purchase some of the handmade products and also see some of the lacemakers in action. They sell a variety of pieces like colorful scarves, dresses, umbrellas and fans.

Dining in Burano

Burano is a working fishmerman’s island. If you’re a seafood lover, this would be a good place to have a fresh three course meal for a great value. We enjoyed our meal at Al gatto Nero which was recommended by friends and rated high on tripadvisor.
