Is it worth going to a Murano glass factory?

A Murano glassmaking demonstration is worth seeing if you’re curious about how the glass is shaped. The guided island excursion includes a demonstration; hands-on workshops are a separate experience.

01

A demonstration is a way to observe

At the demonstration, you’ll watch the glassmaking process. Afterwards, there’s time to look around and browse the glasswork.

02

Decide whether the stop suits you

You may especially enjoy the stop if you like seeing how things are made. If you’d rather spend your time wandering Murano’s streets or visiting another place, you may want a more independent day.

03

Check the exact itinerary

The Murano and Burano excursion pairs the demonstration with a visit to Burano. If there’s a particular artisan or workshop you hope to see, check the arrangements before you go.
