FAQ

Murano and Burano questions, answered straight

The short version of everything in the guides — what people actually ask before they go.

Getting there

Which vaporetto goes to Burano?

Line 12 runs from Fondamente Nove via Murano, Mazzorbo, Torcello and Burano to Treporti and Punta Sabbioni.

How much is the vaporetto?

A single ticket valid 75 minutes costs €9.50. A 24-hour pass is €25, 48 hours €35 and 72 hours €45 — the day pass pays off after three rides.

Tours

Tour or vaporetto?

A half-day boat tour takes about 4.5 hours with up to 1.5 hours on each island and a glassblowing demonstration. The vaporetto gives you more time but you plan it yourself.

Is the glass demonstration a sales pitch?

Demonstrations take place in working factories that also sell glass. The 20-minute factory visit, for example, comes with a EUR 10 shop credit.

Islands

Can I see Torcello too?

Yes — line 12 stops there, and some half-day boat tours offer Torcello as an option.
