Burano is another small island of the Venetian
lagoon. The same way as Murano is known for its glasswork, Burano
is known for its lace. As soon as you leave the vaporetto's
landing stage you'll see the vending stalls that sell lace and
linen. The island is quite small and densely populated and the
houses that line the streets are painted in bright colors which
makes the stroll very enjoyable. The main thoroughfare is Via
Baldasarre Galuppi which ends into a beautiful piazza. Here you
can find the Lace Museum (Museo del Merletto) where you can
find out more about this craft.
