Murano—the Glass Island of Italy

Murano, known for its exquisite glass treasures, is a quick boat ride from Venice. Venetians' renowned glass-making prowess led to the industry being moved to Murano in the late 13th century. The island boasts numerous shops selling a variety of glass products. Visitors can also enjoy glass-blowing demonstrations and explore the Glass Museum. If purchasing glass, ensure it is authentic Murano glass.
