What You Can Expect on the Lagoon Tour

This Venice lagoon tour focuses on discovering the smaller islands and their local reality. The main attraction is the beautiful Venetian lagoon, home to famous islands like Murano, Burano, and Torcello, as well as lesser-known spots like Pellestrina and Mazzorbo.

The main city of Venice features canals, bridges, and notable landmarks like St. Mark’s Square, the Rialto Bridge, and the Grand Canal. While the tour emphasizes the lagoon’s natural beauty, it also provides glimpses of Venice’s cultural highlights. The option to stop at certain locations or enjoy local food and wine makes this experience both scenic and flavorful.

Exploring the Smaller Islands of the Lagoon

The famous islands of Murano, known for glassmaking, and Burano, with its colorful houses and lacemaking traditions, are part of the lagoon. The less-visited islands like Torcello, an early inhabited area with Byzantine history, and Pellestrina, known for beaches and fishing villages, add layers of local character.

Plus, the Murarazzi del Po dams along the southern shore offer panoramic views of the lagoon and Venice’s defenses against tides. The small island of Mazzorbo, connected to Burano, is noted for its vineyard and wine production, offering a rural contrast to the bustling tourist spots.
