While visiting Venice, if you would like to head off-the-beaten-path and see the timeless Italian glass craftsmanship, then a day trip to Murano is a must. Located in the Venetian lagoon of northern Italy, Murano is comprised of seven small islands that are seamlessly linked by bridges across its eight channels.
Murano had initially developed as a fishing port and eventually became the home of the magnificent glass blown art of Murano. Today visitors and artisans from all over the world travel to this small island of the Venetian lagoon to marvel at the traditional and contemporary glass artwork of Murano.
After the hustle-bustle of Venice, strolling along the streets of Murano is a perfect way to experience a quieter slice of life in the Veneto region. Planning a day trip to Murano from Venice is convenient as there are frequent Vaporetto lines that shuttle passengers back and forth between the islands of the Venetian lagoon.
I am guessing that if you came across this post, you are probably planning a day trip to Murano and the nearby islands from Venice. So, here’s our travel guide on Murano that highlights the must-sees of this island along with travel tips that I hope will help make your visit memorable.
Planning a day trip to Murano: How to get there from Venice
There are several islands that are part of the Venetian lagoon including Venice, Murano, Burano, Torcello, Giudecca, Sant’Erasmo and San Michele to name a few. Murano is one of the most visited islands of the lagoon since it is located just 1.5kms from Venice.
Frequent ACTV Vaporetto lines shuttle passengers back and forth between the islands along well-marked channels of the Venetian lagoon. Taking the Vaporetto is the budget-friendly way of getting to Murano but these do get quite crowded, especially in the peak summer season. Private taxis can also be booked as a more flexible and relaxed way to get to the island but these tend to be quite expensive. Look for a license number and a yellow stripe that should be present on all licensed taxis if you choose to hire one.
We decided to travel by Vaporetto around the lagoon as we had planned our day trip to Murano on a budget and found the service to be frequent and quite reliable.
ACTV Vaporetto lines from Venice to Murano
From Piazzale Roma, line 3 brings visitors to the first stop of Murano in about 20 minutes. Line 3 stops at all the major stops of Murano including Colonna, Faro, Navagero, Venier, and Museo. The Colonna stop is located closest to the glass making workshops and the Museo is located closest to the famous Glass Museum of Murano.
If you happen to board the Vaporetto from Fondamente Nove, then lines 12 and 13 bring you to Murano Faro stop in just 9 minutes while line 4.1 brings visitors to the Murano Colonna stop in the same amount of time as well.
Venezia City Pass and the ACTV travel card
We purchased the Venezia City Pass since we had planned on visiting several of the museums of Venice and nearby islands while making the most of the public transportation via ACTV lines. The Venezia gold pass includes a 72 hours ACTV travel card that is valid on the Vaporetto lines along with entry to various museums, including the Glass Museum of Murano and Lace museum of Burano. Alternatively, 24h, 48h, 72h, and 7-day ACTV travel cards can also be purchased and can end up being an economical option if you plan to take the Vaporetti frequently during your visit.
Day trip to Murano: History of glass making in Murano
During the 12th and 13th centuries, many of the homes in Venice were made of wood that could easily catch fire from the glassmaking furnaces. So a law was passed in 1291 that required all the glass furnaces to be relocated to the nearby island of Murano. Doing so prevented the spread of fire from these glass furnaces in Venice and it also helped preserve the secret of Venetian glassmaking to this small island.
Since then, the precise and ancient technique of glassmaking in Murano has remained unchanged and has been passed down from one generation to the next of the artisans of Murano. These artisans proudly carry on their centuries-old tradition of glassmaking in the factories and workshops of this island to this day. No wonder Murano has become synonymous with glass!
Glasswork and glassblowing techniques from Murano
Once the glass factories were established on the island, Murano quickly became famous for its exquisite glass and glassblowing techniques all over Europe and the rest of the world. Aventurine glass (glass with gold threads) was invented in Murano and as you stroll around the island, you can see fascinating examples of glasswork techniques including Cristallo (clear glass), Lattimo (milk or opaque glass) and the vibrant Millefiori.
The vibrant Millefiori glass art of Murano
We were fascinated by the vibrant Millefiori glasswork that we saw all across Murano’s glass boutiques and souvenir shops. The technique of millefiori, which literally means 1000 flowers, can be seen on plates, bowls and even jewelry made from Murano glass. The technique involves overlaying several thin glass layers inside a specially designed millefiori cane which is then cut into small pieces that are assembled in desired shapes and patterns by the application of heat.
Day Trip to Murano: The must-see sights of this Venetian island
Murano is a small island and is best explored on foot. Whether you arrive in Murano at the Colonna, Faro, Museo or any of the other Vaporetto stops, you will find that strolling along the canals of Murano and getting lost in its alleys is a fun experience in itself.
Having said so, there are definitely some must-see’s and must-have experiences when you visit Murano. So here’s our list of the best thing to see during your day trip to Murano.
1. Museo del Vetro – the Murano Glass Museum
Glass is to Murano as Murano is to glass. So it’s no surprise that there’s an entire museum dedicated to glass in Murano and it’s definitely a must-see. Founded in 1861, the Glass Museum of Murano – Museo del Vetro – documents the history of glass and Murano glass art.
Museo del Vetro is located in Palazzo Giustunian, close to the Museo stop. The palace that houses the museum now had once been the residence of the Torcello bishops. Several of the glass artworks housed in this museum have been donated to it by the artisans and owners of the glass factories of Murano.
The magnificent roof of the first floor of the royal residence gives a glimpse into the glory of the bygone days. The three large chandeliers, particularly the one with 60 branches made by Giovanni Fuga and Lorenzo Santi are sure to leave visitors awestruck.
Glass artworks are displayed chronologically in the museum with some relics dating back to the ancient Roman times. The museum also houses the largest collection of Murano glass masterpieces designed by the likes of Carlo Scarpa, Venini and Barovier & Toso, to name a few.
Particularly striking is the miniature Italian garden glass centerpiece. The attention to detail in the beautiful glass art of this garden is amazing right down to the green markings made from crushed glass that has been used to depict grass in this stunning display.
Tickets to the Museo del Vetro, costing € 12 for adults, can be purchased online to save time and avoid entry lines. Entry to the museum is also covered by the Museum Pass that is included with the Venezia City Pass. If you plan on visiting Burano’s Lace Museum as well, then purchasing the combo ticket for Murano glass museum and Burano Lace museum that costs € 12 can be a good budget option.
2. Torre dell’ Orologio ( Clock Tower of Murano) and the nearby glass artwork
If you arrive at Colonna stop and head straight down the alley next to the canal, you will come across the prominent red brick clock tower of Murano located in Campo Santo Stefano – the Torre dell’ Orologio. This clock tower is located close to the San Pietro Martire church. For a small fee, it is possible to take the elevator ride of the top of the clock tower for a bird’s eye view of the island of Murano and beyond.
There is a striking glass art display designed by the maestros of Murano near the base of the clock tower that has become one of the must-see attractions of Murano. Until recently, the artwork in this square had been the famous starburst sculpture (also called the comet glass star) designed with nearly 500 pieces of blown glass in six different shades of blue. It has since been replaced by a beautiful Christmas decorative tree also made of Murano glass.
3. Basilica dei Santa Maria e San Donato
The splendid church of Santa Maria e San Donato is one of the most visited attractions on the island of Murano. It is located in Campo San Donato, close to the Museo del Vetro (Glass Museum).
This 12th-century church is one of the oldest churches in the Venetian lagoon and houses the relics of Saint Donatus of Arezzo and is famous for its Romanesque architecture. There is a bell tower located adjacent to the church and Byzantine arches adorn its red and white brick facade.
Located along a peaceful canal of Murano, this church is also well known for its ornate mosaic floor created by the Byzantine artists in 1141. Besides the mosaic floor, there is another striking mosaic above the altar of the Virgin Mary made with glass blown in Murano.
4. Indulging in gelato during a day trip to Murano
As we strolled around Murano on a rather warm day, we decided to indulge in some delicious gelato and stopped by Murano Gelateria Artigianale which was located close to Museo. This gelateria has an excellent selection of homemade artisan gelato flavors to choose from at a reasonable price. Their Amaretto and Limone flavors were absolutely divine.
5. Witness Venetian glass craftsmanship in a glassmaking demonstration
One of the most memorable things to do during your day trip to Murano is to attend a glass making demonstration by skilled artisans who have honed this craft over several generations of their family.
There are many glass factories (fabbriche) in Murano near the Colonna Vaporetto stop, along Fondamenta dei Vetrai and near the Faro district. At these glass factories, visitors can view the 15-20 minutes long glassmaking demonstrations for a small entry fee. The prominent glass factories require an appointment to be made in advance while in many others, you can simply walk in and watch the glassblowers and artists in action near the glass furnace (fornaci).
It is fascinating to see the artisans melt the glass in the blazing 3000-degree furnace, roll and sway the orange molten glass which is then tweaked deftly into the desired artform using prongs and special tools. One of the highlights of our day trip to Murano was definitely seeing these glassmaking demonstrations (even though we hadn’t booked any in advance).
Note that many of the glass factories are closed on Sundays – so plan your day trip to Murano ahead, especially if you would like to attend one of these demonstrations. Following the demonstration, it is recommended to tip the artisan and if you wish, you can always make some purchases from their glass shop as well.
Be sure to check with the staff before taking photographs or recording. If allowed to do so, it is recommended to not use the flash while taking photographs during an ongoing demonstration as it can be distracting to the maestros.
6. Shopping for Murano glass souvenirs
The venerable art form of fine Italian glassmaking can be seen on display in the boutiques, art galleries, souvenir shops and workshops of Murano. As you window shop around the alleys of Murano, you are likely to come across many kinds of glass products ranging from glass sculptures to chandeliers, contemporary glass art, jewelry, and mirrors.
In order to preserve and distinguish the glass art of Murano, the Vetro Artistico Murano trademark certifies glass products that have been crafted by the artisans of Murano. So when you make a purchase and would like to check its authenticity, look for this trademark.
The lead glassblower of the glass factories is called maestro and their finished glass products retail at the top prices as they are prized for their refinement. In general, prices of glass pieces vary depending on the time and technique used to craft them – ranging from a few euros to thousands of euros. If you are on a budget and are looking for some souvenirs, stop by the 1 Euro glass shop.
7. Wrap up your day trip to Murano with a leisurely stroll around the island
Finally, the best way to discover Murano is by simply strolling along its cobblestone alleys, over its bridges, and along its canals. In some ways, Murano feels like a miniature version of Venice. The colorful homes of Murano and its laid back feel reminded me of our memorable visit to Cinque Terre. Strolling along Murano we also came across a floating vegetable market that gave us a glimpse into the everyday life at the island.
As we planned on taking the Vaporetto to Burano after exploring Murano, we wandered towards the southeast end of Murano towards the Faro stop where we came across a beautiful, active lighthouse. While there are not as many colorful homes in Murano as there are in Burano, there is a relaxed, quiet feel to Murano which makes it hard to believe that you are so close to the hustle-bustle of Venice.
Murano truly is a unique destination where visitors can experience the daily life in Veneto and makes for an excellent day trip from Venice. Refined, exquisite glassworks and products have been produced in the world-famous furnaces of Murano over several centuries and the industry continues to be the backbone of Murano to this date.
It’s a memorable experience to be able to witness the centuries-old art of glassblowing on this island of the Venetian lagoon. Taking a leisurely day trip to Murano allows visitors to see why Murano is also called the ‘glass island’. We thoroughly enjoyed witnessing this timeless Italian craftsmanship on our day trip to Murano and hope to return to explore the Venetian lagoon some more. Until then… Ciao, dear Murano!

I love the look of the comet glass star! It is absolutely stunning. Also, I love travel blogs! As a stay at home mom I travel through people like you that share their journeys and experiences! Thank you!
Those glass works are so beautiful! Its our first time hearing about Murano. Thank you for all the information Aditi 🙂
I love that glass work. It’s vibrant and intricate. The shapes are interesting. Good find!
What a gorgeous place and gorgeous pieces of artwork. Thanks for letting us see it through your eyes.
Nice pictures! We preferred Burano over Murano, but both were nice!
Omg I love Murano! Love all your pictures as well.
I’m blown away by the variety and diversity of the glass in Murano. I’ve been to Venice but never to Murano—now I can’t wait to go! I’ll definitely see the glass museum first.
I didn’t have the chance to go there on my venetian trip but this makes me want to go back!
This looks like such a gorgeous place to visit. I wish I would have gone here last time I was in Venice! Great post!
I would love to visit Murano someday! The colors of the glass are so beautiful. The gelato, of course, looks beautiful too – yum!
Ahh yes brings me back to my travels there!! The glass blowing is such an amazing art form! Great post.
Murano looks amazing and I love these glass souvenirs. I was in Venice 2 years ago and wish I had time to go to Murano as well!
Wow. Brings back memories. I visited Murano (and Burano) in my 20’s. I’ve always dreamed of going back now with my family. One of these days. I only remember visiting the glass museum and watched a demonstration. We missed all of these other things you listed. Next time…
I really want to visit this country. It looks really beautiful.
We had the opportunity to visit Murano a few years ago and absolutely loved it. You have given the perfect information to help people have a great visit!
Thank you for your kind words.
This takes me back to when I visited Europe, Venice included, 27 years ago!!! I can’t believe it’s been that long. Your photos are beautiful and inspiring!!!!
Thank you for your kind words. Glad the post brought back fond memories.
Gosh this takes me back to my time in Europe! Beautiful!
Beautiful glasswork and very well written post !!!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed reading about Murano – the glasswork of this Venetian island is truly splendid.
The history of glass blowing in Murano is very interesting! The glasses pieces artwork is amazing, would love to have some around my home. The gelato looks amazing as well!
I’m so excited to visit this part of Italy and admire the Venetian glass. I’ve been to a few museums which had glass like this and it is always so impressive!
The glassworks are really pretty especially the millefiori. The sculpture is really impressive. It sounds like a unique experience just walking around the streets seeing a different form of glass art at every corner.
I’ve been meaning to visit Murano and your post inspired me to go through with it… hopefully for this year 🙂
Love this post. I always enjoy going to Venice and Murano is one of my favourite parts. The glass blowing is indeed fascinating to watch. Did you purchase any glass art?
Glad you enjoyed reading the post. I couldn’t help but indulge in shopping for some beautiful Murano jewelry.
The history of glass blowing almost being “banished” to the island of Murano to prevent city fires back in the Middle Ages is fascinating! I’m just so impressed with the variety of styles you photographed. Also, a mosaic made of blown glass just sounds so stunning.
I love Murano glass! I am a picker and get so excited when I find this at garage sales for cheap! I hope one day I can go to the murano factory to see how this is made! Great guide.
Another gorgeous post Aditi!
I have never been to Murano myself, but my sister visited and bought me one of their gorgeous necklaces. It is really cool to see where it was made!
I had no idea the reason the glassmakers moved to that area was to avoid fire in Venice. Although, now you say it, it makes total sense!
oooh Venice is fairly close to where I live but I never thought of heading to Murano too! The glasswork looks absolutely exquisite – the intricate patterns and the colours are fascinating. I think I’d overshop for souvenirs, it’s just so pretty!
We spent a few days in Venice last December and absolutely loved it! Since we only had 4 days and prefer slow travel, we decided not to go to Murano and Burano, but to keep these islands for when we visit Venice again next time. Now your photos make us dream and we’re so looking forward to visiting Venice again!
Such a nice guide! I love Murano and Burano 🙂
Really enjoyed all of your photos, especially the ones of the artwork and closeups of the food!
I’m so anxious to get to Italy, especially northern Italy. One of my biggest regrets from my last trip to Italy is not buying more Venetian glass so I think you’ve convinced me that I definitely need to day trip to Murano!
Such a great and thorough post! Murano sounds like a perfect day trip idea and that colourful glass is just beautiful!
What I like the most from my trips are … side-trips! I love visiting lesser known places and discover very beautiful sights close to my main destination that many (or most) travellers would miss. Great guide here, thanks! 🙂
So many pretty details!
This place looks great! I had never heard of this before but would definitely love to visit 🙂
I highly recommend a visit to Murano, Burano, and Torcello on a day trip from Venice.
We have some beautiful Murano glass bought in Venice many years ago. The glass shops were my favourite Venetian activity. Would absolutely love to go to Murano itself one day. Thanks for sharing – excellent post and beautiful photographs.
I’ve never heard of Murano before, but it really makes me want to go visit Venice even more now! Great guide.
This is a fantastic travel guide. I would love to go back to Venice and visit both Murano and Burano.
Wow! I’ve actually never heard of Murano before! I’ve visited Venice and totally wish I would’ve gone to Murano while I was there. It looks so cool!
Great guide! When I was there, I tried to combine Murano and Burano into one day-trip. Murano was second on my itinerary and I got there late and totally short-changed it. I’d love to go back!
Such amazing pictures! Love your detailed guide, it’s super helpful ❤️
Thank you!
Lovely guide, really enjoyed the photos. I love the blue glass sculpture as well!
Glad you enjoyed reading the post!
Thank you so much for sharing! This is a gorgeous place, and your guide is so thorough. Pinning now so I can add this to my bucket list!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed reading the post. Murano is a must-visit!
I made it to Burano while visiting Venice, but didn’t make it to Murano. After reading this fantastic post, it’s definitely on my short list!
I love this post! The photos are stunning and the information is so useful. We’re heading to Venice in April and now I’m convinced we should visit Murano too.
Thank you for your kind words. Glad you found the post informative.
Wow, that is fantastic. I have been to Venice twice now and I wish I would had known this. Well, I guess there is always a next time.
The islands of the Venetian lagoon are a must-see and so easy to get to from Venice. I highly recommend a trip to Murano, Burano, and Torcello while you are there.
I love your pictures in this post, it makes me want to go there and see for myself! It would be interesting to see all the glass factories and museums and true artwork behind it.
Thank you! Indeed – the glasswork of Murano is exquisite.
I love your post because it is detailed and shows a certain side of Venice, that isn’t common. I think, when people think of Venice, they imagine other things than glass. You have uncovered a part of Venice I didn’t know about.
I am glad that this post introduced you to charming Murano. It’s a joy to get away from the hustle-bustle of beautiful Venice to explore Murano, Burano, and Torcello – the quieter, unique islands of the Venetian lagoon.
Great guide! I went to Venice but didn’t get around to going to Murano, which now officially seems like a mistake, haha. Oh well, I’ll just add that as another excuse to get back to Venice 🙂
Thank you. It’s always fun to return to Venice – so whenever you are there next hope you will be able to explore these charming islands of the lagoon on a day trip: Murano, Burano, and Torcello.
Great post what beautiful and colorful photos! What an amazing place Murano is, so vibrant and beautiful, truly a bucket list destination.
The glass blowing is so beautiful and would be amazing to see. It would also be a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Venice to idly explore Morano away from the crowds.
Indeed! Exploring Murano and seeing the fascinating displays of glass art and learning about how the famous glasswork of Murano is made is quite an experience.
Ahh, this brings back memories 😊 – great guide. I visited Murano back in 2008 and loved watching all the glass blowers at work in their little studios, and wandering around the peaceful, pretty streets. That amazing piece of glasswork by the clock tower was there back then.
I missed Murano as I went for day tour to Venice from Florence. But niw looking your photos make me tempt to vosit this region again. I would love to check thos glass crafts which is local and unique craft of this region.
Murano sounds like a great destination. I would like to visit the glass museum. It looks so amazing
The islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello must-see when visiting Venice. We loved exploring Murano – the glass art there is stunning.
I have been lucky enough to visit Murano, my favorite part was the boat ride there! All the glass is so beautiful. Such a fun day trip along with Burano.
Visiting Murano and Burano was a memorable experience for us during our trip to Venice. Thanks for visiting the post.
The bright colors are amazing! I bought my family Murano glass in Venice but forgot to pick up something for me to keep. I must return!
And when you do….do plan a trip to Burano as well. Murano is to glass as Burano is to lace – both are must-see islands of the Venetian lagoon.
Such intricate designs and even more incredible that they’re done with glass. I used to do a lot of polymer clay work, and so I know how much time and effort it takes to make these flower designs. I envy the artisans who get to play with glass all day, what a creative career.
We were awestruck by the striking glass art of Murano and being able to see the glassmaking process by the maestros at various glass factories was a memorable experience.
You look stunning standing in front of this glass artwork Aditi. The Glass Museum and the glass artworks are all amazingly beautiful. I’ll try to include this in our itinerary if we happen to visit Venice in the future. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! I hope you get to visit Murano and the nearby islands of the Venetian lagoon next time you visit Venice.
I am soooo jealous that you got to go here! I’m so in love with Murano glass. This just makes me want to go even more! Excellent guide.
If you love Murano glass, then you must visit the island itself. I was awestruck by the amazing craftsmanship of the maestros of Murano.
I love glass art, so this would be the perfect day trip for me. Just the museum alone would be worth the trip! Thanks for all of this great information.
So glad you found the post informative. If you love glass art and are happen to be in Venice, then planning a day trip to Murano is a must.
We live half the year in Veneto so Murano is a place I know very well. The colors of the island and its glass never fails to impress me. That glass structure is striking!
We loved exploring this quieter slice of the Veneto region. The glasswork of Murano is absolutely incredible.
I have been to Venezia twice but never made to Murano. The amazing glass they make there is a must-see so next time i make sure I get on a boat and spend a day there. And definitely in low season.
I hope you will be able to visit Murano, Burano and Torcello the next time you visit Venice. The islands are beautiful, easy to explore on foot and so convenient to get to from Venice. They make for a great day trip.
Who won’t want to visit a beautiful place like this one. 😍😍 Lovely captures and lots of great information. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am marking it on my travel list.
Glad you enjoyed reading the post and found it informative. Murano indeed is charming and the glasswork is incredible.
I have been to Murano many years ago and it was a memorable trip. I love how you have captured the beautiful glass Millefiori technique! Enjoyed visiting Murano again through your blog! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed reading the post. The colors and technique of millefiroi left us awestruck.
Wow! I went to Venice but didn’t get a chance to go to Murano since we were only there for a few hours 🙁 But it would have been great since you said it is only 20 minutes away! I would have love to have gone to the museums!
Murano is located very close to Venice and is so easy to get to with the frequent vaporetto service. Hope you can make the trip to Murano and other nearby islands of the lagoon next time you plan a trip to Venice.
I lived in Venice 20 years ago. I went on Murano pretty often and had there my own glass jewelry shop from where I bought a lot of jewels. I don’t know if the shop still exists, but the place is equally beautiful.
Absolutely – we loved exploring Murano and Burano. The glass jewelry of Murano is so beautiful – I couldn’t help but purchase a few pieces for myself as well.
So lovely! What could be better than taking a vaporetto and then wandering the colourful streets, savouring a delicious gelato! Brings back wonderful memories for me – I even treated myself to a small piece of jewellery. Your photos are so colourful!
Our day trip to the islands of the lagoon beyond Venice was so memorable – after the hustle-bustle of Venice, we loved the quiet feel of these islands, despite visiting in peak season. I couldn’t help but treat myself to some beautiful Murano jewelry as well.
I’m adding Murano to my travel bucket list. Would love to see the glass factories and museums. It must have been awesome to see the techniques of glassmaking in person.
Indeed! We were fascinated by the demonstration – the artisans are truly masters of their craft – deftly shaping the molten glass into such beautiful shapes and designs. It was lovely to escape the crowds of Venice and explore the quieter, charming islands of Murano and later on Burano.
We visited Murano a million years ago when I was a kid and we lived in Europe for the first time. As I’ve obsessed over Dale Chihuly and his glass art here in the US, my mind has often flashed back to the glass blowing demonstration I saw in Murano!
What a unique island!! The photos you captured are beautiful!
Thank you! Visiting Murano and Burano on a day trip from Venice was a truly memorable experience for us.
Makes me want to go and visit! Their glass works are so beautiful! Always heard of Burano so its nice to read about Murano
