Always check that the glass pieces you buy have the Vetro Artistico® Murano seal, is the only guarantee that they are original and Made in Murano
Yusri EchmanFebruary 3, 2014Murano Island, famous for glass-making, is the most popular island to visit. A few centuries ago, all glass makers were required to live on the island to protect the glass-making secrets.
Fatima Al-HalwachiSeptember 2, 2018This is where all the great Venetian glass making takes place. Plenty of craftsmen have their unique collection on display in their family run shops. Get some authentic jewellery and homeware here.
- Tom BrdMarch 26, 2019Wonderful place. Romantic restaurants, a great Museum and many many small shops selling the famous Murano Glass. Cheaper than in Venice and it's 100% original.
Jeff CulpepperOctober 4, 2018Beautiful weather and great glass artists. Too bad the glass is way too much money
Fred SpofforthSeptember 20, 2016Go to the glass museum - it is worth the trip and the glass for sale in the shop is much better value and a lot more elegant than the kitsch stuff in the other commercial shops. Otherwise go to Venice

Iván FaríasFebruary 19, 2013Explore the whole of Murano! Many parts of the island remain unvisited and thus calm and unspoiled.
Visit VeneziaFebruary 15, 2012This is where the magic happens. Every authentic Murano Glass item is born here, from the hands of master glassmakers only. If you go early in the day, you can see them at work!
Belinda BAugust 6, 2012There are handmade glass objects in Murano. Be sure they are from Murano not China in some stores. Also, most glass items like rings and necklaces are cheaper in Venice itself. Murano is double price- Julio DJune 29, 2017It's a little island full of VERY EXPENSIVE glass shops (you can find better prices and variety in Venice). The island has the same arquitecture and canals, i would've rather stayed in Venice.
Stephen CrockerMarch 23, 2015Look out for the various glass sculptures as well as the workshops where you can see glass being blown and moulded.
- Belinda BAugust 6, 2012There are beautiful handmade glass objects in Murano. Be sure they are from Murano not China in some stores. Also, most glass souvineers are cheaper in Venice itself. Double price on Murano island.
Etienne SchneiderJanuary 13, 2017The only problem of Murano in Winter is that Winter is the low season, many things closed. But the Glass Church was amazing.
