Burano is a pretty island in the northern part of Venetian lagoon. The island is located 7 Km from Venice can be reached by ferries (vaporetti) or motor-boats, it takes approximately 40 minutes. Famous for its lace making and for its brightly colored houses. Burano is a fairly small island and there is only one way to move around it, on foot. The roads here are quite narrow, in fact they are all streets and the main street here is the Calle Galuppi which is where all the shops are.
Burano, Venice
Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon,7 kilometers from Venice. Burano is known for its small, brightly-painted houses, popular with artists.
Burano was mere a fishing village in the 16th century. However, during the subsequent two hundred years its women developed a fine, delicate form of lace known as "punto in aria" ("points in the air") which transformed the island into one of the most prosperous lacemaking centres in Europe.
In the center of the island there is the San Martino church.
