Burano, known for its legacy of lace making, bursts with colour as its rainbow of fishermen’s houses sprawl by the waterside. Even older than Venice itself, ancient Torcello is more tranquil, and most of it now remains as a nature reserve. Visitors flock to view Byzantine mosaics in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Dell'Assunta.
