Burano - Venice, Italy

Burano is a small & colourful island located in the Venetian Lagoon. The island is famous for its picturesque canals, brightly painted houses & lace-making tradition. The island’s history dates back to the 6th century when it was settled by people fleeing barbarian invasions on the mainland. The colourful houses are painted due to a legend saying that the different colours help fisherman find their way home in the fog. I would highly recommend a half-day trip to Burano, to better understand the culture & history of it. Burano is a short boat ride away from Venice, Italy. #tripblazers #venice #italy #darwintravel
