Laguna di Venezia, Venice, Italy If we told you there was a way to experience an authentic side of Venice without the crowds, would you believe us? The secret lies in getting away from Piazza San Marco and venturing further out to explore smaller islands strewn throughout the marshy, magical Venice Lagoon.
Chiesa di San Martino, Burano, Italy This church was rebuilt several times and took on its present appearance between 1500 and 1600. It was consecrated on 29 October 1645 by the then bishop of Torcello Marco Antonio Martinengo.
Over the centuries it underwent several restorations, while preserving the ancient architecture.
Seen from the outside, the church lacks a main entrance, in fact you enter laterally through a Renaissance door, near the Chapel of Santa Barbara.
Burano, Burano, Italy Further north in the lagoon lies Burano, a fishing island made up of hundreds of colorful houses that earn it the title of one of the most colorful towns in the world. Unlike Murano, which enjoyed industrial prowess for much of its history, Burano remained largely agricultural and fishing was its main industry. The colored houses are said to have been painted in bright hues to help fishermen navigate the lagoon on foggy days. Burano is also well-known for its lacemaking traditions, which originated in the 16th century. 60 minutes

This tour really enhanced our time on this very charming island. We got more than our money’s worth. Highly recommend this side trip for anyone traveling to Venice.

We did not arrive when I was admitted to a hospital in Bologna and flew to a Danish hospital and ran airports where ambulances and paramedics were waiting for me. Height blood sugar above 30, insulin stolen, in shock, doped at the hospital in bolognogna and traumatized and with a man in shock and nerve breakdown and who had to go to a crisis psychologist. It needs to be arranged for both of us. Mvh katrine boeck and Michaels Andersen

Silvia was our guide and she could not have been anymore wonderful. After we missed the time for the boat ride to Burano, we rescheduled after she graciously agreed to a later meeting time! She is from Burano and showed us the back streets where people actually live, including her grandmother and her orange house, which she hopes one day will be pink It could not have been any better!
