Burano is a fantastically beautiful little island located near Venice. If you have in Venice have at least 2-3 days, then Burano, along with the island of Murano, falls into required list.
Murano Island is on the way to Burano. Murano is pretty a large island, famous for Murano glass. Burano is very beautiful houses and, of course, world-famous Buranian lace. Ordinary tourists go first to Murano, then to Burano, to see both islands in one day.
Murano glass did not attract us, so we headed right away. on Burano. It was decided to go in the evening to the evening return to Venice and sit for a cup crazy dear cappuccino in the oldest cafe on Piazza San Marco with charming sounds one of the orchestras. This decision played into our hands. In the evening there were almost no tourists on Burano; began to meet locals which immediately after the departure of tourists poured into the streets.
Burano is a stunning island. We avoided it from all sides and tried to find a touch of falsehood in it. The island remained true to itself – all the same fun, colorful and infinitely attractive.

Where to eat in Burano
The strategy of finding places to eat, which usually justifies itself, is retire a little from the tourist streets into the neighborhoods, and then if we get lucky. At Burano, this strategy does not work, since the island very small. One or two rows of houses – and here it is, the sea.
Walking along the main street of Burano, we found many cafes with … not very tasty smells. We have tasted at this point Italian cuisine is not one week, so that their scent trusted at 100%. But we met a cafe with a beautiful-looking ice cream. But prices were close to the space. What only worth a small bottle of water for 4 euros.
As a result, I found a homemade candy store, in which angry-friendly (just like that) elderly gentleman by weight sold very, very tasty sweets and, as a result, confidently entered with your desserts in our top-3 best desserts in Italy. By the way, 1.5 A liter bottle of delicious water cost him only 2 euros.
The conclusion is simple: on Burano, you need to arrange picnics right on seafront, buying homemade sweets on the spot or bringing something with you.
How to get to Burano
Burano can only be reached by sea. With a guided tour or on river tram, vaparetto.
Waparetto on route 12 leaves from Fondamenta Nuove station. A 60 minute ticket costs 7 euros. Or will it be free if you bought the “Venice Card”. If you bought a ticket on the beach, then be sure to bring it to the magnetic reading on the shore in front landing, otherwise the ticket will be invalid. Light green the light is all right. It is better to buy a magnetic card on each person, since only one trip is charged, how many just do not hold the card to read.
How to write off two trips at once, we didn’t understand – all instructions in italian. You can buy a ticket at the very vaparetto. The cost is the same. In this case, it is desirable to have with you small money, as a steward is still not a ticket office for shore.
Fines for stowaway are said to be very impressive.
Waparetto go about twice an hour. Burano is the 3rd stop, which will be in 40 minutes. Time will fly instantly, because around you is the picturesque Venice Lagoon. Can not worry, as the steward will scream diligently that here he is, Burano
We came to Venice to the bus station. From the station you can walk to the pier in quick minutes 25-30 minutes. If you go there on vaparetto, it can get longer and one ticket to Burano is not enough (Vaparetto routes №4.1, 4.2 and 5.2 to stop Fondamenta Nuove). And you need to buy additional tickets for 7 euros.
