Murano Glass Factory
Isola die Murano – Heart of venetian glas products
Most of the venetian glass is made at a Murano Glass factory, which you can visit on the Isola di Murano. There are lots of these factories on the central "street" of Murano. Get here some valuable tips.
Watch the several hundreds years old tradition
Venetian glassware has been world famous since the 13th century.
You can watch the ancient tradition of glass-blowing and see the artisans using the same tools and methods like their ancestors used hundreds of years ago.

Don't let you trap at a murano glass factory
The shows are free of charge, but if you are like me, after the "demo" you want to buy everything. The show usually takes place in the shops where the glass is then sold. Don’t let you trap - there is no need to pay to anyone to guide you.
Just walk along the street - it is easy to find these performances.
Look and buy wisely
Be careful when purchasing glass in Venice. All glass is not created equal. A lot of it is made in the Czech republic. You basically get what you pay for. Look and buy wisely. There is a difference. You can also save money on the street.
