Get to Know Burano

Burano is one of the many islands that make up the archipelago of the Venetian lagoon. Located 7 kilometers from Venice and 6 kilometers from Murano, this island attracts thousands of tourists every year.

The island draws the attention of tourists for its brightly painted houses. Why are homes on Burano colorful? According to a legend, fishermen chose striking colors to find their homes on foggy days.

Geographically, it is connected by a bridge to its neighboring island Mazzorbo, which is also visited by tourists for its vineyards and orchards. Burano is a small island, so it is very easy to explore it, and it has a population of around 7,000 inhabitants, who live off tourism and fishing.
