Museo (Murano)

From: Venice Waterbus Stops

Murano Museo is in the center of Venice's glassmaking island, on a major canal that bisects the island from east to west. (See our 11-page Murano travel guide.) Glass shops are among the businesses that line the fondamenta or canalside promenade to the east and west.

Museo is also close to the Museo del Vetro, or Glass Museum, which is a "must see" for anyone who's even remotely interested in Venetian glass.

The Museo waterbus station is served by:

• ACTV Lines 3, 4.1, 4.2, N public water buses

• Alilaguna Linea Rossa airport boats (April to October only)

Several hotels are close to the Museo stop: most notably the LaGareHotel Venezia - McGallery Collection (four stars), which occupies a former glassmaking factory immediately behind the boat platforms.

For more places to stay on the island, please see our detailed Murano hotel listings.

Note: Museo does not have a ticket booth or vending machine, so here's what to do if you need to board a water bus without a valid ticket or Tourist Travel Card.
