When you get off, turn left into the park, then right into the village. [edit] Get aroundThe only way to get around Burano is by foot.

Enjoy lunch or a drink and buy some lace from a local artist. A relaxing departure from the busier islands of Venice and Murano. There is a lace museum called Museo del Merletto. However, it is small and does not offer much to see. [edit][add listing] DoVisit the Lace Museum [edit][add listing] BuyAlmost every shop on this little island sells lace products. However, beware that there are many cheap foreign products, and the real stuff is quite expensive. [edit][add listing] EatTry Burano's biscuits called "Essi": yellow "s" shaped cookies.
