Burano Island is one of the picturesque islands in the Venetian Lagoon, known for its brightly colored fishermen's houses and lace making. Here is how you can reach this vibrant destination:
The most common and economical way to reach Burano is by taking the ACTV public vaporetti (water buses). The Line 12 runs from Fondamente Nove stop in Venice to Burano. This journey takes about 40 minutes. Make sure to check the latest timetable for precise departure times.
For a more personal and faster option, private water taxis can be hired from almost any point in Venice. This is a more expensive alternative, but it offers the convenience of a direct route to Burano without stops. The trip duration will typically be about 30 minutes.
Many visitors choose to visit Burano as part of a guided tour, often including other nearby islands such as Murano and Torcello. These tours usually depart from different points in Venice and offer an all-in-one experience with a guide.
If you're planning to explore multiple islands or utilize the vaporetto frequently, consider purchasing a travel card that offers unlimited travel for a set number of days. A single ticket is also available for those making just a round trip.
Note: Always check the latest vaporetto schedules and ticket prices as they may change seasonally.
