MURANO AT LEISURE

MURANO AT LEISURE

A leisurely morning spent on Murano island will be the occasion for an immersion in the fabled history of its glassmakers. Officially initiated at the end of the 13th century the tradition of blowing and shaping glass made the international fame of this island. Still today, notwithstanding the threats of globalization, authentic Murano glass means quality and beauty. The island itself has lovely views and its own character.

With the assistance of your guide, you will be able, Mondays through Fridays, to attend the production and learn the basics about this ancient technology. Picture-taking is allowed! On request, you will then have the opportunity of browsing around a row of spectacular rooms, without haste or obligations to purchase, and with the chance of posing all your questions about the different artists, techniques, trends, and styles.

If you are then still in the mood of experiencing further glassmaking, we could head to a more contemporary and glamorous workshop. Or instead, if you prefer to spend some time outdoors,

stroll along the luminous Glass-Makers Canal and, across the wider Murano ‘Grand Canal’ reach the ancient Cathedral, admire its graceful Romanesque apses, and finally sit down in one of the open-air cafés for a while.

On request it will be possible to organize a slightly longer and more intense itinerary to include the recently restyled Museum of Glass, few steps away from the Cathedral, click here for a complete description. We recommend this visit to those visitors with a strong interest for the history of artistic glass and of course to collectors!

Transfers from the hotel to Murano and back will be as usual provided by a private water-taxi.

During the weekend and major holidays there is no glass production. In August, due to the excessive heat, pretty much of the working activities on the island stop, although the stores and showrooms are still open.

It is possible to combine MURANO AT LEISURE with our  LAGOON WITH BURANO visit, consider approximately 6/7 hours, with a break for lunch in Burano to savor the fresh seafood and local vegetables.
