Just a short boat ride from Burano lies the island of Torcello, home to the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta, a treasure trove of history and art that is well worth a visit. Founded in 639 AD, this basilica stands as the oldest cathedral in the Venetian Lagoon, offering a glimpse into the region’s early history. The basilica is renowned for its stunning mosaics, which are among the most ancient and impressive in Italy. The 12th-century mosaic of the Last Judgement is particularly noteworthy, covering an entire wall with intricate and vivid depictions that have captivated visitors for centuries. These mosaics are believed to be the work of craftsmen from Constantinople, reflecting the Byzantine influence on Venetian art.  In addition to the Last Judgement, the basilica houses other significant mosaics, including the Virgin Hodegetria, the Crucifixion, and the Anastasis, each showcasing the artistic mastery of the period.  Visiting the basilica offers not only a visual feast but also a serene escape from the bustling areas of Venice. The tranquil surroundings of Torcello, combined with the basilica’s historical ambiance, make for a contemplative experience. Opening Hours: • March to October: 10:30 AM – 6:00 PM (last entrance at 5:30 PM) • November to February: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM (last entrance at 4:30 PM) Please note that the ticket office closes 30 minutes before the basilica’s closing time.  A visit to the Basilica di Santa Maria Assunta is a journey through time, offering insights into the rich tapestry of Venetian history and art. It’s an experience that should not be missed.

Quite disappointed in this place. Was told it is worth the visit but seems more like most parts are closed for work and there is a whole list of things you can't do including taking photos. The most interesting part is the mosaics which was closed... and if you need to use the WC then you have to pay an additional 1.5 Euros (June 2025 so may be more by the time you read this). To really add injury to insult, despite being catholics we were refused entry into the church to pray. Not the worst thing the Catholic church has done, but their decision was financial based so very clearly corruption runs deep and at grass roots in the church, which is truly a crying shame In short we just didn't see the point in spending 10 euros for not being able to see much, be insulted for our religion and not even be able use basic facilities. Can't comment on the inside and don't really want to. The island if Torcello itself is very nice and definitely worth a visit. To get there go to Burano and get the number 6 boat from platform A ( which is just along from the main platform B/C - as you come out of B/C turn right and platform A is about 50/100metre away.

This is a masterpiece of Byzantine art and mosaics. Often when you visit such places, one is disappointed because they never quite your expectations on size, hover the primary wall is absolutely gigantic. It is a rare survivor in the modern era of the style of art. Used to be something of a well kept secret but now has many visitors. Again, and somewhat disappointingly, it is forbidden to take photos inside, even though one pays to enter. Also recommended is climbing the campanile, which of course provides excellent views across the lagoon, especially of Murano.

Ancient church, now partly being repaired. There is a 5 euro charge to enter and no photography or video recording is allowed. Audio guides are available for a fee as well.

Very special place. So totally original and truly beautiful because of that.

A really incredible old building, with masterpiece mosaics inside. Mildly disappointing that some areas were closed and that you couldn’t take pictures but it was worth the small fee to help with the upkeep of such a place.

This one was a bit of a walk from the boat drop off nice scenery the monastery itself is pretty nice considering it's on an island by itself pretty cool great photo ops also shopping for souvenirs at the little stall is worth it half the price of the Mainland
Jason S — Google review
A historic church and nearby archeological museum. Much older than most of Venice, it's more history and less grandeur than what you find on the Grand Canal. Incredibly beautiful during sunset.

An oasis of beautiful tranquility with excellent food. This place felt so lovely and calm after the frenetic crowds of Venice. After a romantic stroll along the towpath and a visit to the stunning Veneto-Byzantine basilica, we settled down in an oversize marquee with a view of green green grass and pheasants roaming. The stand-out dish was the moeche fritte, a Venetian delicacy just in season, but everything was very fresh and yummy. We returned to the vaporetto feeling utterly replenished. A treat!

We had a very lovely and welcoming experience. Service at the Osteria was really good and careful, the ambient is very beautiful and elegant, even in the summer heat they have chrome fans that are very efficient. This meal made the visit to Torcello even more pleasant. Food was good and extremely fresh, we had insalata frutti (salad with seafood) and as main, the fish of the day. Amazing. The only downside is the price, which could have been a little lower. But the service, quality and atmosphere make it worth it.

This was our second visit to this wonderful restaurant. Our first visit a couple of years ago was so enjoyable, and unplanned. This time we knew we wanted to return, to enjoy the quiet of the island along with outstanding food offering. The gardens to view as you eat are tranquil. First class! We hope to visit again when we next come to Torcello.

Exceptional long lunch here facing a beautiful tranquil garden on a hot and sunny day. Professional, quiet but friendly service. Superb menu of local fresh ingredients and an excellent wine list. Expensive but very well merited. Outstanding.

Came here for Dessert and water- Best cake Ive ever eaten. Part of my group didnt want to come to Torcello because: "theres a church and thats it." Yeah, right! This restaurant alone makes it worth a visit. Plus the church is really nice aswell.

Had a wonderful lunch here. Pasta was just natural. More importantly it’s hot, fresh from the pan. I wish all pasta kitchens in the world know that pasta doesn’t taste good lukewarm. Bread is hot too, soft inside. I like the oregano/cumin one best. Beef tartar is what I expected, fresh. The staff was very friendly. The environment is beautiful.

Absolutely a must visit restaurant when in Venice. A complete hidden gem on Torcello. Wonderful food, a tranquil environment overlooking a manicured garden and such professional caring and friendly service. We arrived as a party of 12 and left so very happy. Thank you Stefano, Andrea and team. See you next time

What a beautiful experience! We returned here after around ten years and it is even better than we remembered. The setting is stunning, the staff are welcoming and the food is really sensational. We had a Bellini in the garden before we went in and were given a delicious amuse bouche, with grilled octopus and pumpkin. I had the Venetian fish appetiser, which was baby octopus, baccala and sarde in soar. Beautifully presented and very tasty. We both had pasta for our main course and it was a treat for both the eyes and the tastebuds! I had spaghetti di gragnano and my dad had the cavatelli. A really special and memorable meal! Would recommend to anyone and it’s worth the trip to Torcello!

Not as one fifth big as the archaeological museum of Venice but far more interesting. Many small pieces from the island with detailed introduction. Combined ticket for the church, the bell tower and the two small museums at a very reasonable price.

I have to mark it down mainly due to rude staff. Normally when you pay an entrance fee they have a toilet, Torcello only has 1 public bathroom which you have to pay €1.50. This would have been okay, if it was open. It was closed for maintenance, and the staff didn’t know so when I kept asking they kept telling us to go there, other people were having the same issue. Then they basically said not our problem, and one person recommended the bar. Too bad bars aren’t open in the morning. The actual exhibit I found okay, some interesting pieces
Sarah ( — Google review
A truly great museum at a reasonable price (3€). Skip the basilica and bell tower - both absolutely not worth the price.

At 5 pm it was closed and deserted. Sadly, the cathedral closes even earlier and there's nothing else to do at Torcello. I recommend spending the time wandering the calles of Burano, they look amazing.

Terrible, dirty, smelly bathrooms which you have to pay €1.50 to use but if you give it two euros, you don't get change. Shameful.
Claude H — Google review
The small but interesting collection is divided between two buildings, the Palazzo dell’Archivio (archaeological finds from the mainland) and, in my opinion, the more interesting Palazzo del Consiglio (medieval artefacts, many of which come from the handful of churches and convents that once flourished on Torcello). The exhibits are well displayed with labels in both Italian and English.

This place feels like home. The moment you enter its gates you will feel the beauty that surrounds this little portion of heaven on earth. Paolo is way more than just a host. He’s an open book, an adventurer, the storyteller you always dreamt to meet and whose stories you would listen to for hours, sit in his patio at the Porta del Paradiso. His kindness and knowledge of the lagoon island and Venice are priceless as well as the passion he puts in preserving his beloved uncle’s works of art. I highly recommend visiting this place if you want to taste the real essence of Torcello and spend some quality time with one of its nine, incredible inhabitants.
