Glassware was one of the few Venetian exports, so the secrets of creating this beautiful craft were closely guarded. Glassmaking was considered a privileged occupation, and glass artisans were allowed to marry into the nobility. Today, the Murano products of blown-glass mirrors, chandeliers, goblets and intricate works of art are renowned worldwide. There’s time to visit one of the many workshops and to shop for a unique piece that will serve as a lovely memento of your visit. Burano is next. Brightly painted houses decorate this small and cheerful fishing village that is best known for its exquisite lace making.

Follow the highway from Venice to Verona; then set out with your local guide on a walking tour. Admire the arena built in 30 BC, which once rivaled the Colosseum and is the third-largest amphitheatre in the Roman world. In Piazza delle Erbe, discover a square that has been the center of Veronese life since the days of the Romans. A Venetian lion stands atop a column to the north of the Piazza, signifying Verona’s absorption by the Venetian Republic in 1405. The Maffei Palace, built in 1668, today houses luxury apartments and elegant boutiques. Don’t miss Piazza dei Signori, where a 19th-century statue of the poet Dante graces the square, gazing out upon the 14th-century Palazzo della Ragione—the Veronese law court. Behind Dante’s statue lies the Renaissance Loggia del Consiglio (1493), whose council chamber boasts a fresco that includes the figures of Catullus and Pliny. Continue to view Juliet’s balcony where Romeo is said to have scaled the wall of Casa di Giulietta at 27 Via Cappello. Pose for a photo in the small courtyard and check out the names inscribed on the wall by visitors seeking eternal love. You will have free time to explore on your own before boarding the coach for the drive back to Venice and the port. (hide details)
