Venice is famous for his channels, his Renaissance buildings, the basilica of San Marcos, but undoubtedly that the Murano archipelago is one of his principal attractions.
These islands where there raise the old workshops manufacturers of the delicate and exquisite glass of Murano from the XIIIth century, keep the most secret mysteries of this art, which it will be possible to contemplate of the hand of some of so many people craftsmen who exhibit pleasant part of his discipline to the curious tourists.
In the factories, in addition to contemplating the above mentioned demonstrations, some pieces of the famous glass will be able to be acquired, but do to be touched by some cheap object, since these are usually brought from Czech Republic for being more economic. Definitely a real Murano will cost his, but really it will be worth while. Some of the most well-known local marks are: Barovier, Seguso, Venini, Pauly and I Cough.
Close to the Square of San Marcos there finds the stop San Sacaría, where from it is possible to take the vaporetto 42 that will take it to Murano, happening for Fonamente Nuove and the Cemetery San Michelle, during a trip of about 40 minutes.
During August many glass factories close, therefore if it is desirable to visit Venice and Murano, it is preferable that is not in this month.
