Number 1 of things to do on Murano

 Dazzling Live Glass Blowing Demonstrations

Murano, one of the islands of Venice, is the glass blowing capital of Italy. To watch glass blowing in the Glass Cathedral (Ex Chiesa Santa Chiara) is a special experience. Since this is not a glass factory, the demonstrations are purely focused on the Art of Glass Blowing. The craftsmanship of the Glass Masters is impressive and the exclusive surroundings and soft music make the experience unforgettable. The theme of the show is the creation of precious, enduring symbols of love in Murano Glass. Glass Master Ion Cafadaru and his assistant Ileana Vasile will be happy to show you their skills. 

Unique are the Murano Glass Blowing Demonstrations and Art Shows accompanied by live music on Friday and Saturday. Something to plan for!

Murano is just a 15 minute boat trip over the beautiful Lagoon of Venice. More things to do on Murano.
To keep you safe, there are less seats available than usual.
