Burano From Venice: A Colorful Side Trip
After visiting Burano from Venice I quickly realized it’s without a doubt one of the Top 10 Most Magical Places in the World (For Their Beauty) that I’ve been to.Ā Burano is a perfect little island about 40 minutes away from Venice thatās known for its brightly colored fishermanās homes. Itās such a beautiful place that between the bright colors of the homes and their reflection on the water it seriously looks and feels like youāre walking through a painting!
Getting There
You can get to Burano by public transportation and my #1 recommendation would be to get there EARLY. Early as in make sure you ARRIVE there by 8am. We had it practically all to ourselves until 9 or 9:30 when tourists started pouring in by the MASSES. By that time we had already taken all the pictures we wanted to, and *without* anyone in them. The beauty of the island is well worth waking up early to have it all to yourself, I promise. š
What to do There
Burano isn’t so much a place to DO things as it is a place to SEE things. Meaning you won’t necessairly be visiting any specific sites so much as you’ll be strolling around taking in the sights. This is why I recommend getting there early. Strolling the canals is so much more enjoyable when they’re not insanely crowded.
A Note to Photographers and Picture Taking Enthusiasts:
This gorgeous place has no shortage of breathtaking photo ops. Come prepared with empy sim/SD cards and charged up batteries. You’ll be glad you did! Here are just a few of the pictures I took while I was there. š
Dreamy right? š I hope you enjoy visiting this beautiful place as much as I do.
Safe travels friends.
