Murano Glass: Local Workshop & Walking Tour

2 hours


Discover Murano with a local guide. Visit glass studios, meet young artisans, and join a hands-on workshop to craft your unique glass piece.

Prepare to discover the authentic heart of Murano, far beyond the usual tourist routes and typical factory visits.
This is not a standard “show-and-buy” tour — instead, you’ll step inside real artisan workshops where tradition and creativity come alive.
Meet a talented lampwork artisan who will demonstrate the delicate art of shaping molten glass into beautiful beads.
If you feel inspired, you’ll have the unique opportunity to try your hand at creating your own Venetian glass bead, continuing a centuries-old tradition.

We’ll also visit Murano’s oldest glass factory, active since 1295, where age-old techniques blend seamlessly with modern design and innovation.
As we wander the island’s charming backstreets and hidden corners, you’ll experience Murano’s genuine atmosphere — the local life, the history, and the magic that make this island truly special.

This tour offers an intimate, enriching experience that goes beyond souvenirs, inviting you to connect with Murano’s living art and heritage.
