Take part in a demonstration by a Master Glass Blower inside a real furnace, which preserves and passes on the artistic and technical heritage of this ancient art.

Search for the lampposts in love, they’re said to bring luck in love.
Then reach Burano, an old fishing village worldwide famous for its colourful houses, the lace production and the pastry making. You will be given 1 hour of free time: you can get lost in the streets and squares of Burano, trying to capture the best shots of the colourful houses, or you can follow the route given by the audio guide, which will allow you to visit historical places and magical places such as the House of Bepi Suà.
Admire the crooked bell tower and be tempted by the typical pastry shops, where you can taste the biscuits "Bussolà" and "Esse".
Finally, finish your journey at the tour starting point.
