Another water taxi is required from the main island of Venice to get to the island of Burano. This island is home to the famous lace makers. Here, the fading tradition of handmade lace is still passed down, and you can even have the opportunity to see some techniques. You are able to see these women keep the tradition alive while exploring the shop to see anything that is available to buy as well. These women have an incredible ability to keep track of multiple stains of thread to create such gorgeous patterns.

Walk along the beautifully colored homes, and wander around the quiet streets. Here, it is required that no two colors are next to each other, so to change the color of the home, a request must go to a committee to be approved. If approved, then the color of the home is allowed to change. This island is home to its leaning tower, charming cafés, and amazing people. If you arrive on the right day, homemade baked goods fill the air with an appetizing aroma. These goodies can be purchased in town at any of the local pastry stores. The famous Bussola and Esse cookies can even be sampled before buying any treats to take on the road.
