Isola di Burano

Amazingly beautiful. When in venice take the water taxi about 1 hour. See this island including a cool leaning tower and all the colors! Absolutely breathtaking! Great food as well. So much more to venice then the main island.

Dear island, don’t take this personally. You are sure beautiful enough for ten stars, but unfortunately you are not a secret tip any more — and that spoils the fun a bit.
.So If anyone is into moving around in a flock, go for it. If you are looking to avoid the tourist traps as much as you can, skip Burano. If your guidebook says go there if you want to take a rest from the tourists — rest assured that everyone else has read that too. If you are staying in Venice for a week, go for it again. But who is, really? In my two-​day stay, I could have easily done without Burano.
The ride there is not short either. I know that a lot depends on your mood, and simply how things go in your case. In ours, there was a lot of queuing for the Vaporetto, in both ways — on the way back, the end of the queue was almost out of our sight. Because of the incredible amount of people, it was generally impossible to get on the first one, which meant rubbing against someone in your flock until the next one comes. And driving there packed as sardines. Better watch out for your belongings while doing so — I met a guy who was 400 euro lighter after this exercise. Getting there hungry because you couldn’t find a decent place to eat already on Murano is not an option either. You will end up with a 16 euro Coke and French fries and something resembling calamari in the worst tourist feeding station ever, just because you were too exhausted to look any further. Oh, you will even queue for that. Then you as well might realize that unlike in Venice, where you can always get lost in one of the side streets where the locals live, in Burano you are bound to move along the souvenir stores and stands with the flock from your Vaporetto. There is not much else to go to. Sure, there is the possibility to stroll around some park on the other side of the island, but have you really come all the way to walk in a park? Of course you as well want to see the colourful houses. Cute as ever, picturesque as can be. But worth the hassle and the souvenir stands? Only if you are a fan of flock tourism.

I absolutely loved Burano and never wanted to leave! In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m going to live in the brightest yellow house on that Island once I retire. I noticed that Italy is all very terracotta. Most of the buildings are some shade of orange so Burano made a nice scenic change with each house a different, brighter colour to the next. This Island is also known for making lace, so there are plenty of little souvenir shops to buy the pretty material. There’s not really a lot to do on Burano, but it is definitely worth the 30 or so minute water bus ride from main Venice. There are quite a few cute little café/​restaurants with plenty of delicious pizza to be had! I can’t wait to go back and explore more!

There is more to Venice than just Venice. In fact, there are many other islands that surround Venice that you can visit if you hop on the Vaporetto.
Allow yourself about 30 — 40 minutes of travel time when you take the Vaporetto to Burano. The islands aren’t exactly close. Take a nap, hold on to your belongings, or simply stare out at the water during the ride. Give your feet a rest. I visited Burano, Murano, and Torcello in one day and out of them all Burano is the one I loved the most.
Burano was the vacation from the vacation. Time stopped when I got to Burano and I forgot where I was in the world for a moment. I took a nice stroll along the canals. I admired the cute colorful houses. I got lost in a sea of school children as they walked home and kicked their soccer balls. Burano will be two hours of bliss during your day trip.
There is a main street of touristy shops and restaurants. If you linger long enough in a shop, the ladies will try to sell you lace scarves. Burano is famous for their lace. I walked into a convenience store instead and bought a frozen cappuccino drink. For lunch, I went to Al Gatto Nero along the canal. Best meal ever.
Burano is an excellent backdrop for picture taking. There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful Burano is. So let your pictures do the talking.
Tourist Tip #1– Wear your sun hat and/​or sunglasses. It gets very warm and you will need something to shield your eyes.
Tourist Tip #2– There is a public restroom on the main street. They take Euros.

besonders in der vor– und nachsaison oder wenn das wetter mal nicht so schön ist, ist die insel burano immer einen besuch wert. leider in der hauptsaison sehr überlaufen; neben spitzendecken und anderen spitzen-​handarbeiten gibt es hier auch leckere süßigkeiten — oder einfach in einen der kleinen cafes am hauptplatz den trubel auf der insel genießen. mit den öffentlichen linienbooten schnell und günstig zu erreichen

Nice little village and a good day trip from Venice, but not a must. If you want to take colorful pictures while you are in Italy. Visit Il Burano! It’s something to do that’s off the beaten path.

Venice was my fav part of our Brendon Tour and Burano was an excursion from Venice. We took a boat. hee hee well you take a boat everywhere in Venice. Anyway we went there for dinner and it was such a colorful picturesque Isle. I would definitely go back if I visited Venice again. unfortunately then I wasn’t so into pictures and didn’t have a great camera. I could do it justice now.

Fun day trip on a 50 minute water taxi to Burano and Murano. Both islands are pretty crowded. If you don’t have time I would skip this. But if the time is there, it did make for a nice day, albeit a long day. The tourist shops are genuine Italian goods made on the islands. So the prices are little high but worth it for that genuine factor. There are places to eat and snack. Walk off the beaten path a little bit to find quite place to sit and relax.
The islands pop with color which is what they are known for, in addition the high end glass and fabrics they produce.
Be sure to bring a light day pack to put all your wears into for the ride back. Drink lots of coffee to keep you going.

If your tour guide asks you if you want to visit Burano for the afternoon — say YES! This little island, about a 40 minute boat ride away, is the most charming island ever. It has the cutest most colorful houses, delicious locally caught seafood, and shop after shop of gorgeous lace tablecloths (the island is known for its lace). I couldn’t get enough of this island.

Burano is an oversized play set, a full-​scale model of a Lego town, something «Q» would create on a whim and a finger-​snap (I won’t explain that reference, nope, on your own). The fact that I know people Venice and skip Burano is disappointing, akin to visiting China and missing The Great Wall.
OKAY, I admit, I did that! I was in China and didn’t see the Great Wall. In defense, Hong Kong is about as far away from the Great Wall as London is to Rome. And you wouldn’t say that to someone («What, you visited London and didn’t visit the Sistine Chapel?). Would it be like not getting Ice Cream at Dairy Queen? No… that’s why you go to Dairy Queen. A closer comparison would be to visit Scotland and not go to Skye – sure, most people don’t mention it, and you wouldn’t think to include it, but after seeing it first hand, you couldn’t think of a trip without it (and that is something else I know from experience). Burano is such a surreal landscape of brilliant solid colors, electronic companies shoot demo videos here to showcase their brilliant amoled displays. Yes, another first-​hand reference – I used to show off Samsung tablets with video from Burano… little did I know I would visit it.
It’s about 40 minutes by boat (the only option) from Venice. Upon approach, you immediately notice the leaning tower of San Martino. The vibrant colors of the buildings pop up soon after. Unlike Venice’s 117 islands, Burano has only four, though the shoreline feels much closer to the roads. In fact, the day we arrived, the water was only a few inches from creeping over the edge; meanwhile Venice still had a clear foot. When Venice floods, Burano must vanish. And it would be a loss, because pound for pound, Burano looks better.
It’s…well…cuter. It’s adorable. Not like your child’s first painting that you frame and hang on the wall, I mean cute like bunny-​taking-​a-​bath-​cute. Like cats wearing sweaters. Like someone plopped down houses and hotels from a gigantic Monopoly board. An artist could fashion it as a fantasy town for a fictional setting and the work would be criticized as unrealistic.
It was here, not in Venice, when I opened my pocket book and bought souvenirs. If I had a week to spend in Venice, I’d spend at least two days in Burano. As I only had two days in Venice, our tour only rationed a few hours in Burano. Of all the optional excursions on my Globus Best of Italy tour, this was one of the best.

Bizarrement j’ai la sensation que cette île Burano est délaissé au profit de sa voisine de Murano alors qu’il est tout autant agréable de s’y balader tout en proposant une visite différente.
Ici, on trouve surtout des boutiques travaillant la dentelle. Les jolies photos né manqueront pas d’être prises avec ces maisons aux couleurs vives et chatoyante. On leurs doit cette spécificité du fait des pécheurs qui les habitaient et s’en servaient pour être facilement repérage pour les bateaux, notamment dans les jours de brume lorsque le brouillard bouchait la vue.

This town is adorable! It is a short boat ride from San Marco in Venice. My husband and I went to see this town on a tour that included Burano, Turano, and the original island of Turcello.
Burano is a small fishing community that is decorated in brilliant hues of turquoise, purple, canary yellow, etc. On top of being beautiful, there are amazing artisans in this small town. The women here create gorgeous lace masterpieces that should not be missed. Despite a barely there language barrier, the women helped me pick out a handcrafted lace table runner with lilac embroidery that is prominently displayed in my mother-in-law’s home. The prices were quite affordable for the beauty, reliability, and quality of these pieces.
If you are looking for a special something to bring home for a friend, family, or self, do not miss this little town.

magnifique, et pas de regrets d’avoir fait les 45 minutes de bateau de la place st marc pour y aller. tres bonne demie journée, malgré un shopping un peu couteux.
je n’avais pas eu le temps de le faire lors de mon premier séjour à venise. voilà qui est fait et sans regret, je conseille fortement.
de tres belles photos ici

Prenez le temps de visiter ces îles paisible. Ca change de la place San Marco.

Très jolie petite île !!!Les maisons peintes de couleurs vives sont magnifiques !!

Gorgeous, colourful island a short ferry from Venice. Plus has a great restuarant Gatto Nero.

Where? A 20 min de vaporetto de Murano (+12min, de Venise)
When? Au coucher du soleil
Why? Pour les façades colorées des maisons, qui donnent tout son charme à ce petit village
Who? Les vendeurs de dentelle, pas trop nombreux. Mais surtout les habitants qui semblent venir d’un autre temps
What? La ressemblance que l’on peut trouver avec certains villages de la côte Atlantique, près de Royan (Chatressac)…

Une ile extrêmement colorée grâce à ses maisons & réputée pour sa dentelle ! Comparé à Venise même, c’est très calme & ca n’est pas déplaisant ;)
Il y a également de jolies plages où se poser !

Die «spitzeninsel» ist eine wohltuende Abwechslung zum Turbo-​Tourismus in Venedig. Wunderschöné bunte Häuser, viel Platz und herrliche Spitze.
Erreichbar mit dem vaporetto innerhalb von 45 Minuten.
Auf jeden Fall einen Ausflug wert.

Mon coup de coeur de Venise.
Un cadre apaisant loin de l’agitation de la sérénissime, vous serez séduits par la dolce vita qui coule à Burano et par les multiples couleurs improbables des façades des maisons de pêcheurs.
A né manquer sous aucun prétexte.

A né pas manquer. On peut juste s’y balader ou acheter de la verrerie (qui coûte très cher cependant).
