Murano: Known as the glass island, Murano is still a glass production centre; the island has hosted its now-legendary glassblowing tradition since 1291. While it began on the mainland, Venetian glassblowers were sent to Murano, as their glasswork studios were a fire hazard to the city, which was heavily built by wood.

Burano: This island is just a dream!! Filled with canals and summery, painted homes with purple, yellow and red. An archipelago of four islands linked by bridges, Murano is known for handmade lace. Leonardo da Vinci visited the island in 1481, when he purchased a cloth for the main altar of his masterpiece at the Duomo di Milano.

Torcello: The oldest part of Venice, home to the famed 12th century Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Church of Santa Fosca, you can stroll across the Ponte del Viavolo to find a forest reserve. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, founded in 639, still stands today, featuring colourful mosaics to gaze into on sunny days.
