Islands Without Cars, the unique independent travel series hosted by Kira Cook, is back for a second season! In six whimsical half-hour installments, Kira shows us what life is like on islands in the Western Hemisphere’s developed world that have managed to keep a well-worn foot in the past by restricting or forbidding the use of motorized vehicles.
Italy’s Venetian Lagoon (Venice and Burano)
Season 2 Episode 204 | 26m 46s | CC
The Venetian Lagoon in northeastern Italy is dotted with dozens of inhabited islands. Kira explores two where cars are restricted. Venice, long considered the most beautiful and romantic city in the world, is also Europe's largest urban car-free area and is recognized by UNESCO. Burano is a tiny island which has been a colorfully curated home to generations of lace makers, artists, and fishermen.
