Burano , 18 th Sept 2026 The Lace Museum

Today, we are just chilling . Had a leisurely breakfast at home . Since, the sky was overcast, we decided to take a little walk along the main drag of Burano to the little square where there is a church. Around the corner , we went to visit the Lace Museum.

Lace Museum

Burano is course famous for lace making . The lace museum is one of 3 museums in the Venetian islands .The other one is the Glass museum in Murano and the third museum is on Torcello island which is a tiny island next to Burano. The good thing is that I get 50% of the price pf museum tickets being above 65 years old haha .Origins of lace making started at around 16 Century , according to my readings .

Then we had a snack of cichetta and cool drinks . We went into this bar that at the back there was a long courtyard garden.

Then we took a walk at 6 pm.across the wooden bridge to the next island, Mazzorbo . There was a walled garden with allotments and a vinyard .

We took.a walk around the walled garden. There is a restaurant in the garden .

Reeds in the walled garden. The vinyard is not very big so we are supposing that the wine is only for the restaurant in the garden
Grapes looks lovely

It was cooler to walk by evening. It ws a pleasant walk and the walled garden was unexpected to be on an island in the Venetian lagoon.
