Burano Walking Tour
Burano, Italy
Why Walk Burano
Burano's houses are painted in vivid primary colors — a tradition said to help fishermen find their homes in the fog. The island has been a center of lace-making since the 16th century, when Burano punto in aria lace was prized across Europe. Today the island is a photographer's paradise, with every canal and alleyway a composition of color.
