Burano, things to do

Stand beneath the leaning bell tower of Burano to fully appreciate how pronounced its tilt is.

Turn your back to the well to see the Istrian stone flagpole, which once held the banner of St. Mark.

In this square, you'll find bars and wine shops where you can enjoy an aperitif in complete tranquility.
