Back to Murano A good day trip from Venice Visit the museum first to get a little background knowledge. Then browse the shops. You can buy from very cheap trinkets to you-must-be-a-millionaire to be able to buy this, glass. If it is authentic Murano glass it will have a special holographic gold seal upon it.
Reviewed by: Rhonda from on Feb 18 2007 Well worth it Murano-- a tightly clustered island of tourist shops, warehouses and glass workshops/furnaces-- is a daytrip not to be missed in Italy. When we travelled, a boat took us "for free" from the hotel, and deposited us at one of the expensive showrooms/glass manufacturers. After a quick and lackluster tour of the furnace, they pressed us to buy expensive wares. We "thought about it" while walking the town. That was the best part.
