How to book: best times and price ranges

Sleeping in Murano is always an enriching and highly appreciable experience. However, there are certain seasons when it may be more convenient to book.
The best times of the year to plan your stay on the island are spring and fall, and the benefits are many.
First of all, they are clearly less popular times than in summer, which offers the possibility of lower spending. Also, you can count on greater availability and less crowding on the island.
The climate is also milder than the summer heat and damp cold typical of the lagoon winter.
However, if you have a summer vacation, sleeping in Murano remains a highly recommended idea precisely because of the unique and magical experience that the glass island offers in its quiet nights in contact with nature.
Also consider the many events surrounding Murano that might influence your choice: in summer, for example, you can attend part of the Rowing Season, the Murano Regatta.
From September 13 to 21, on the other hand, there will be the ninth edition of The Venice Glass Week: an international exhibition celebrating the island’s great protagonist, glass.
But winter also has its own characteristic event: under Christmas in Murano you can wander among the stalls of the characteristic Christmas market in calle Bressagio.
Frequently asked questions
To visit Murano it is best to get off directly at the Murano Museo A stop: you will immediately reach the Glass Museum or the Basilica of Saints Mary and Donato. If you choose the Murano Faro stop, however, you can photograph the lagoon’s landmark from the water and then explore the surrounding area. Carve out some time to watch a glassblowing demonstration, an essential experience on the island. Getting off at Murano Colonna, on the other hand, will give you a perfect view from the historic center, since it is the southernmost point on the island.
Getting around the island of Murano takes about three hours, to which time should be added should you choose to explore the various attractions in depth and access the Glass Museum.
Some days it is possible to attend free glass demonstrations when some glassworks decide to have “open days.” Many furnaces also provide free admission for children under the age of 10.
If you have little time to visit Murano you will need to make arrangements to limit your travel and optimize your time. It is advisable to get off at Murano Museo A. From here you can visit the Glass Museum and the Basilica of Santi Maria e Donato. Then attend a glassblowing demonstration at one of the historic glassworks or the Church of Santa Chiara. Finally, depart from the Murano Faro stop so you can also appreciate the symbol of the lagoon.
