What to see in Burano

 The four islets that compose Burano are separated by three canals, the Rio Pontinello, the Rio Giudecca, and the Rio Terranova, and similarly to Venice, Burano is divided into sestieri (English: districts). The beating heart of Burano is certainly its main piazza, called Baldassarre Galuppi, overlooked by the Church of San Martino Vescovo, which houses the Crucifixion by Tiepolo, whose church tower is rather curious to visit given the slant that characterises it. Given that Burano is famous for its craft lacework, overlooking the central square there is also the Museo del Merletto (English: Museum of Lacework), the Palazzo del Municipio and the Cappella di Santa Barbara. Despite all this, Burano’s beauty lies in losing yourself in its narrow side-streets and its colourful houses, making Burano one of the Ten most colourful places in the world; from sky-blues, to yellows, oranges and greens, legend says this tradition of painting houses with gaudy colours was started by fishermen who wanted to be able to see their homes when they were out at sea. No matter how you look at it, Burano is one of its kind, and you cannot miss the opportunity to visit it because you don’t know where to park!
