The island of Burano, Italy was so cute! It’s one of the lagoon islands north of Venice, Italy. I didn’t actually decide to go until that morning and I’m so glad we went. We took a vaporetto (public transport boat) to Burano first, and then to Murano. Burano is super cute if you’re into walking around and colourful houses. We went pretty early and did not find it crowded at all. Murano was very much brick buildings that were not so interesting and a million shops selling glass. I’m happy we went but I could have skipped it as I’m not really into buying glass items. We bought a 24 hour vaporetto pass so that night we went up and down the Grand Canal which was really lovely. We used the free Rick Steeves audio guide as our tour guide and it worked very well. Venice, Italy and the islands are by far one of the most atmospheric and picturesque cities I’ve ever visited!
