Murano is famous for its glass-making industry, which dates back to the 13th century. The island became the center of Venetian glass-making when the Venetian Republic ordered all glass-making furnaces to be moved to the island in 1291 to reduce the risk of fires in the main city of Venice.
Today, Murano is home to many glass factories and shops where visitors can watch glass-blowing demonstrations and purchase beautiful Murano glass creations. The island also has several museums dedicated to the history and art of glass-making.
In addition to its glass-making industry, Murano is also known for its beautiful canals, colorful buildings, and picturesque streets. Visitors can explore the island on foot or by boat and enjoy the unique beauty of this charming Venetian island.
