4-Day Venice Itinerary on a Budget - Day 3 & 4

Venice Day 3: 7 June 2018 Thur

We bought the 24 hour boat ticket. Time duration begins at the ticket validation.

We took the ferry to Murano island at 2 pm and saw the free glass demonstration at one glass factory at 2.30 pm. There wasn't a need for appointment and there wasn't many people. It was warm inside since they were burning the glass to form it. The demonstration wasn't long, and you will have a idea how they add the colour and such.

There was store besides the glass factory. The items were expensive, not at all cheaper then in Venice.

We looked around other shops. The pieces were exquisite but the price was also not cheap.

At 3.20 pm, we saw the gigantic blue glass sculpture flanked by a Clock Tower in Campo Santo Stefano. The glass work was called “Comet Glass Star” and it was created by the master glass artist, Simone Cenedese.


Went to Coop to buy cone ice cream as we walk to take our next boat ride.


3.40 pm As there was still some time for the boat ride, we went to take a look at Santa Maria e San Donato church.





We took the ferry to Burano island.

Walking all the way straight, the bridge there will give you a background of brightly lit houses. The other houses around Burano was also brightly painted but only some area seemed to be more well kept.





Anyway, Burano is well known for lace. So you will see stalls selling lace items. Many stalls do not allow photography, so I didn't take photos of some beautiful items.

There was one stall (I forgot the name, sorry) that have many beautiful coloured murano glass accessories. The colour of the glasses were vibrant and rich.The price was slightly expensive but if you want I think it will make a great souvenir.


Kindergarten was colourful too


Saw The Leaning Bell Tower.









At 6.30 pm, We took the boat to Trocello and back to main island. As the attraction at Trocello was already closed, we decided to give it a miss and didn't alight when we reached.

We ate Hawaiian pizza at 7.40 pm near the port. It was not bad. The pizza was thin crust.



At 8.30 pm, we wander around, took the water boat back to airbnb to put our stuff. The sun started to set down. Watching sunset on the boat was nice!





At 10 pm, we wanted to go for a night ride but can’t seem to wait for a boat. We decide to just forget about it.

Venice Day 4: 8th June 2018 Fri


By 10 am, we checked out of our airbnb. The trash need to be taken out.

We took our luggage to Train terminal, this time via ferry (yeah!). We left someone there to take care of the luggage while we wander around to find what to eat for lunch.

Not much stores were open though.

After making use of the water boat to get back, we end up ate the baked potato and pizzas found at the eatery at the train station.
