Burano is an island in the Venetian Lagoon, although
like Venice itself it could more correctly be called an archipelago
of islands linked by bridges. It lies near Torcello at the northern
end of the Lagoon, and is known for its lacework. Burano is situated
7 kilometers from Venice, a short 40 minute trip by Venetian motorboats,
"vaporetti". (Wikipedia
