About this experience

Travelers will depart from St. Mark’s Square on a semi-private water taxi to reach Murano, known for its glassmaking tradition. The glassblowing demonstration takes place in an authentic furnace, allowing participants to observe a master glassmaker crafting shapes from molten glass. Following the demonstration, there will be a guided walk through Murano, showcasing its canals, artisan studios, and overall atmosphere. This experience is suitable for those interested in art and craftsmanship but may not appeal to those seeking a fast-paced tour. Note that the return journey to St. Mark’s is also by water taxi.
