I paid less than if I'd booked at the ticket office! The departure ar St Marks was easy to find. The trip was well organised, informative, with enough time to enjoy the 3 islands. A real highlight was seeing the glass demonstration in Murano. We went on the 12:30 trip and were back at the starting point around 5:10pm.

It's our first time in Venice and this tour helped with the further appreciation of the place, what with the historical commentaries of both the St Mark's Basilica and the Doge's Palace. Lucia, our tour guide, is very good, I would say. Her bluntless and funny remarks makes it more fun and enjoyable! The gondola ride is good for a first timer, although I was expecting the singing portiom, but I guess that needs to be booked differently eh. Our guide Jerome (can't remember his Venetian name), was also very good. I guess tour guides in Venice are better than some of the other Italian guides and we had a few tours! Thank you - we're definitely coming back !

This was the best money we could have spent during our time in Venice! We loved every part of it. Our 2 tour guides were spectacular: Philipe and Alexia. Both so informative, easy to understand (English speaking) warm and skilled! We would do this again in a heartbeat!

The guide of the walking tour was great, even in the rain! Get tickets at the Alilaguna ticket office and your headphones, the QR codes are just for that. Surprised to see the second floor of the Scuola di San Rocco. The tour to visit the islands Murano, Tocello, Burano is 'fast' just 50 min. at each island, so we recommend just using the boat tickets and doing it at your own pace. Torcello needs good weather to fully enjoy, no fun with rain.

What are my transport options from Venice to Murano, Burano & Torcello?

Exploring the lagoon islands of Murano’s glassmakers, Burano’s colorful houses, and Torcello’s tranquil ruins is a must-do when in Venice. Here’s how you can get there—whether you’re going local, luxe, or looking for an all-in-one day tour:

🚤 Public Vaporetto (Water Bus) – The local way

The ACTV vaporetto is Venice’s public water bus and the most affordable, authentic way to visit the islands.

Main departure point: Fondamente Nove terminal (north Venice). It’s easy to reach from Cannaregio, Castello, or San Marco.

Lines to know:

Line 12 – the one you’ll likely use most: Route: Fondamente Nove → Murano → Mazzorbo → Burano → Torcello. Runs every 20–30 minutes during the day.
Line 4.1 / 4.2 / 3 – connect to Murano from other areas like Piazzale Roma or Santa Lucia.
Line 9 – short hop between Burano and Torcello (runs less frequently).

Know your vaporetto line

Travel times:

Fondamente Nove → Murano: ~10–15 min
Murano → Burano: ~30–40 min
Burano → Torcello: ~5 min
Torcello → Venice: ~50 min (via Line 12)

Tickets:

Single ticket (75 min): €10
Day Pass (24 hrs): €25 (great if you’re visiting all three islands)

Accessibility: Vaporetti are stroller- and wheelchair-friendly.

🎯 Pro tip: Try heading out early (before 9am) to beat the crowds and make the most of your day. Don’t forget to check seasonal schedules!

Check complete vaporetto schedule

🧑‍🏫 Organized tours – The easiest all-in-one experience

Want to skip the transit hassle and get the best out of each island in a day? Opt for a guided boat tour — group or private — with curated routes and cultural highlights.

What’s typically included:

Round-trip motorboat transfers from St. Mark’s Square or Venice Railway Station
Visits to Murano, Burano, and optionally Torcello
Artisan demos like Glass-blowing workshops in Murano
Multilingual audio guide, onboard assistance from a skipper or live expert guide (varies by tour)
Private boat and small group sizes (for the premium experience)

Why choose it:

You won't need to worry about vaporetto lines or planning routes
See the glass artisans of Murano in action — a crowd-favorite
Enjoy Burano’s canals and colorful streets with insightful commentary
Add Torcello to explore the peaceful, lesser-known side of the lagoon

💡 Good to know: Most guided tours focus on sightseeing and demonstrations. Entry to lace museums or Torcello’s cathedral may not be included — perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed overview rather than deep dives.

Things to know before booking a Murano and Burano day trip from Venice

Murano and Burano are just 30–40 minutes by boat from Venice, making them ideal for a half-day trip. Most tours last around 4–6 hours. Full-day tours may include extra stops like Torcello- truly completing your exploration of the Venetian lagoons.
Tours usually depart from St. Mark’s Square—ideal if you're staying in central Venice—or Venice Santa Lucia Railway Station, a better option for early arrivals or those based in Mestre. Check your meeting point in advance and get there at least 15–20 minutes early to board stress-free.
Group tours make island-hopping easy with pre-arranged motorboat transfers, multilingual guides or audio commentary, and time to explore at each stop. For something more exclusive, go for a small-group or private tour with a dedicated guide and your own water taxi.
Group sizes vary—standard tours may have 25+ people, while private ones are usually capped at around 20. Smaller groups often allow for more personalized attention, but larger tours offer better value if you’re keeping costs in check.
If you’d rather explore on your own, ****ACTV public transport passes ****are a solid option. They give you unlimited access to vaporetto and buses in Venice and the lagoon for 1, 2, 3, or 7 days—great for flexible, budget-friendly island hopping. You can even upgrade to include a digital audio guide that tells you all about the beautiful culture, sights and history of the floating city of Venice. Side note: organized tours save you time and planning while adding expert insights along the way.
Enjoy a complimentary live glassblowing demonstration in Murano by a master artisan. This also comes with an exclusive 10% discount at the factory on glass products—please note that any additional purchases are at your own expense.
Unfortunately, most group boat tours aren’t wheelchair or stroller accessible due to boarding logistics. However, the Vaporetto ACTV Water Bus system is a more inclusive option, offering level docking, ramps, on-site assistance, and discounted fares.

Make the most of your Murano and Burano tour from Venice

Bigoli in salsa dish served in a Venetian restaurant, highlighting Venice's culinary experience in September.

Fritto Misto di Pesce: Lightly battered and fried mixed seafood, perfect for a casual meal.
Bussolai: Traditional buttery ring-shaped cookies unique to Burano, often enjoyed as a dessert or snack.

Tips: Try a crisp Soave or a Prosecco for the perfect complement to your meal. Murano and Burano often feature handmade gelato and pastries in their trattorias.

Trattoria Valmarana: Murano | €20–40 | Outdoor seating with rooftop views, family-friendly. Try the seafood!

Flooded St. Mark's Square during acqua alta in Venice, Italy.

Keep your rain boots on standby in case of high water situations. While it is possible throughout the year, the months of November and December are especially prone to this phenomenon.
If you’ve selected the hop-on hop-off boat tour or the Turbopass, make sure to check the opening hours and restrictions for each site you want to visit beforehand in order to have a smooth experience.
Budget for lunch, souvenirs, and more. Try out local delicacies like cicchetti, risotto, or scallops! Take home beautiful glass pieces and lace works.
Avoid visiting on Mondays, since most shops and factories remain closed for the day.

If you’re tempted to linger after your day trip, the lagoon isn’t just for daytime visits—Burano and nearby Mazzorbo offer unique accommodations, while Murano has a handful of B&Bs. Torcello, by contrast, has no lodgings, so plan to return to Venice or stay on Burano/Mazzorbo.

Burano:

Casa Burano – A stylish “scattered hotel” with designer rooms tucked into local homes across the island.
Night Galleria – Art-filled boutique stay in the heart of Burano.
Venissa Wine Resort (Mazzorbo) – Just a bridge away, this vineyard estate offers tranquil rooms and a Michelin-starred restaurant.

Murano:

Local B&Bs & Apartments – A few cozy stays near Murano Colonna or Museo stops—perfect for catching glass demos before the crowds.

Tre Ponti Bridge

Built facing three directions over the Giudecca Canal, Tre Ponti is one of its kind on the island! It offers a 360° view in the midst of colorful homes.

Bepi’s House

This geometrically resplendent, technicolor home of a former film enthusiast must not be missed. The legacy of Bepi as a candy seller, organizer of outdoor cinema, and wall painter lives on at the liveliest home in Burano!

Lace Museum

The Lace Museum in Burano features stunning lace artifacts, detailing the island's lace-making traditions and techniques. It is located inside Podestà Palace, the seat of the Burano Lace School from 1872 to 1970.
Entry fee: €12

Church of Saint Martin Bishop

The Church of Saint Martin Bishop in Burano features a distinctive leaning bell tower and vibrant frescoes, reflecting the island's rich religious and artistic heritage.

You’ll get a 1, 2, 3, or 7-day ACTV pass giving you unlimited rides on Venice’s public transport system—water buses across the lagoon and regular buses in Mestre and Marghera.
Murano, Burano & Torcello: Hop off in Murano for its iconic glassmaking scene, wander through Burano’s candy-colored lanes, and head to peaceful Torcello to see its ancient cathedral—all on your schedule.
