There is Isola di Murano - which you have already heard about - and there is Isola di Burano. The most colourful of all Venetian islands. It's about 50 minutes away from the Venetian city center, but totally worth the vaporetto ride.

The colours of Isola di Burano are amazing. And you can get lost in the back alleys, which we love.

If you have a few days in Venice, our French girlfriend living in Venice tells you this is where you must go for an authentic experience once you have checked the box of San Marco. The gorgeous colours were painted by fishermen to easily spot their homes as they came close to shore after being out at sea.

And after or before your walkabout, go for lunch at Locanda di Cipriani, on the neighbouring Isola di Torcello.
