[2025 Venice Attraction] Travel Guide for Burano (Updated Jun)

Let me jump in here—I must talk about Venice first. Originally, Venice wasn’t part of my travel plan. My spontaneous personality led me to add a bunch of unexpected and chaotic plans, making my entire trip to Italy feel rather random. But Venice, above all, touched me the most. I didn’t have high expectations initially. In fact, just a week before my trip, I saw a friend’s post saying Venice doesn’t require a long stay as it might get boring. However, after personally visiting Venice, I must say—it’s a place you absolutely have to visit. Although traveling from Mestre by train and then taking countless boat rides was exhausting, and navigating the maze-like streets of each island in Venice was challenging, I relied on my own footsteps, Google Maps, and the Citymapper app (a must-download for Venice) to find my way back. Otherwise, I’d end up at random docks where I couldn’t board a boat 🤡. But when I set foot on the colorful island of Burano, I stood in front of the buildings, overwhelmed with emotion. Gratitude filled my heart—thankful for my family’s support in letting me explore solo, thankful to myself for bringing me to such a beautiful place, and thankful for all the arrangements that led me here. 🗓️ Itinerary: Mestre - Venice Main Island - Murano - Burano - Venice Main Island - Mestre

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 We finally arrived at Venice, the most famous water city in Italy. However, the tour guide first took us to the colorful "Colored Island Burano". The residents of the island make a living by weaving and fish mending. Due to the excellent quality of the handmade lace produced, it is also known as the "Lace Island". The originally quiet fishing village is famous for its brightly colored houses on both sides of the canal. It was once selected as one of the 19 most beautiful towns that you must visit in your lifetime. It only takes 30 minutes to get there by boat from the main island of Venice, so the transportation is quite convenient. The houses on the Colorful Island are colorful, as if you have walked into a scene from a fairy tale. It is very easy to take pictures, especially with the canal and the bridge as the background, which is colorful and beautiful. When visiting the Colorful Island, you must buy some handmade woven products, such as scarves, silk handkerchiefs, tablecloths, etc. They are not only delicate, beautiful and of high quality, but also cheaper than those on the market, making them suitable for both gifts and personal use. After visiting the colorful island, take a boat to Venice! #ItalianTravel #Venice #ColorfulIsland #WaterCity #burano

#GlobalTravel Do you know why the houses in Burano are colorful? This beautiful legend tells us that the women on the island came up with the idea of ​​painting their houses in bright colors so that their husbands who were out at sea fishing could find their way home. In fact, the real reason is recorded in history. It turns out that during the Black Death pandemic in the Middle Ages, residents who were infected would smear white lime inside and outside their homes to disinfect the plague, while residents who were not infected would quickly paint their houses in rainbow colors to tell everyone that they were not infected with the Black Death! This is the true origin of how the house was painted in the first place!

#citydaytours Venice was a magical experience during my summer vacation! 🇮🇹 The city’s canals, historic architecture, and charming alleys make it a unique destination. We spent our days getting lost in the narrow streets, taking in the stunning views from the Rialto Bridge, and exploring St. Mark’s Basilica. The entrance to St. Mark’s Basilica was free, though the nearby Campanile cost around €8 for an elevator ride to the top for breathtaking views of the city. ⛲🗺️ One of the highlights was a gondola ride through the canals, which was around €80 for a 30-minute ride—a bit pricey but absolutely worth it for the experience. We also enjoyed wandering through the colorful neighborhoods of Burano and Murano, known for their lace and glass-making. 🎨 Venice’s romantic ambiance and rich history make it a destination I’ll never forget. #trip #localguides #Venice #Italy #CanalLife #TravelDreams

In Venice, the main public transport is Vaporetto (Passenger Ferry). There are ferries around the island and on the Canal Grande in Venice. The water taxis and gondolas are relatively much more expensive. I love taking Vaporetto, so relaxing to travel on water buses to see the beautiful small towns, to explore the little alleys of Venice, and budget friendly too. It will stop in Venice and the nearby islands such as Murano, Burano, and the Lido. Ambiance/Facilities: 10/10 Rating: 5/5

DATE : May 6 Bonjorno! Pagi Isnin lepas kami bertolak dari Chamonix bergerak ke Italy ... Lompat2 bas dari Chamonix ke Courmeyour, Italy ... Dari Courmeyour ke Aosta & dari Aosta ke Milano ... Jejalan di Milan kejap & amik train dari Milan ke Venezia. Venice is 'city of water', 'city of bridges', 'floating city' and 'city of masks'. Well ... did Venice make it on my list of one of my most fav city in the world? Probably not! But I must say that Venice have its own charm. The city itself is beautiful ... The architecture is amazingly unique and have loads of history. Yeah ... It is a tourist town ... It is overcrowded, really expensive & constantly under renovation... But if you can look pass that you will enjoy Venice . The main attraction here is Grand Canal, St. Mark Square, gandolas? and Rialto Bridge to name a few. But for me the real gems is their outer Island - Lido, Burano, Murano AND wandering around back alleys in Venice, observing antique building & get lost! ... I consider myself quite good with directions but here the buildings looks similar and there's hundreds of bridge ... It's like walking in a maze ... You will get lost ... I mean really2 lost & it was so much fun!! But sooner or later you will know your way plus it's an island ... no matter how lost you are it's not like you can get off of it. Wandering around you will find hidden treasure of Venice, antique places, watch local live their life and play ... Observing people ,their interaction and you will try to guess another person's story ... I love doing it .. When you travel you will met different people with different walk of life ... People watching is very insightful and informative way to know them. It allows you to observe humanity in all its diversity and similarity. Anyway ... Some tips in Venice : when you first arrive and looking for your hotel pls prepare a map of your hotel location ... Wandering around in Venice is fun ... But walking clueless for hours with heavy backpack is no fun ... Every shops have a business card ask for it ... usually they got a map on that card ... That's how you know exactly where you are ... Don't eat at table outside a restaurant ... Eat inside or take away ... It's cheaper ... Don't eat at places with 20 different languages on the menu or didn't show a price at all ... You'll end up pay a fortune. Pagi ini kami bergerak ke destinasi seterusnya : Florence Ciao!!

Before reaching the sea, the green lawn and the forest full of trees captivated my heart. Sometimes, when I miss the taste of gelato on a hot summer day, I miss Italyㅎㅎ #ItalyTravel #Italy #Venice #Burano #BuranoIsland #VeniceCanal #VeniceTravel #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotSpot #Sea #Beach #Forest #Lawn #InTheForest #ResortForest #Nature
