It's probably the most famous island of the venetian Lagoon, it's composed by seven minor islands. It is well known worldwide for the art of blowing glass. All glass factories were moved out of Venezia to the island of Murano in 1295 to preserve the city from fires that often were caused by factories themselves and they have never left. Now their craft is what brings people to this little island. The coveted art here includes lamps and jewelry, and you can easily spend a whole afternoon wandering in and out of shops and workshops. Architecturally, Murano isn't much different from the main island if Venice. But it's not nearly as crowded, and you can pick up some really great (and unique) gifts here. Just be sure that the glass you are buying was actually blown on Murano!
