Hidden away just 40 minutes North of Venice Italy is the small fishing island of Burano, with houses painted in bright colors like a beautiful rainbow. A magical place to explore!

Everyone visits this unique island in Italy to capture photos of the pretty homes painted in different colors. Pinks, blues, yellows, greens, purples. The island also has a system of canals.

Fishermen on Burano take their boats out in the early morning, returning with fresh fish in the evenings.

Little bridges span the small canals and connect streets, and the island's main square Piazza Galuppi is full of souvenir shops, seafood restaurants and bars.

There are no cars on Burano - locals get around on foot, bicycle, or boat. It's actually kind of similar to the cave city of Matera in that way

But I really have to hand it to the residents of the island, they chose some fantastic colors to paint their homes!

The island's population hovers around 2000 people, and these days the main income is from tourism.

People travel here from Venice as a day-trip to photograph all the colorful homes on the island.
