Be sure to check out the view up the book stairs in the back, or browse the poetry while listening to the water lap up through the door to the canal..bellissimo.

Very cool spot for the decor alone. Sort of like a madman's personal library. Check out the view of the canal and the staircase made of books in the back.

In some ways, it's like any other great bookstore: friendly owner, lots of books, and two cats. But it's also so unique and pays homage to the canal in so many cool, eclectic ways!

The famous Venetian "Libreria Acqua Alta" is one of the most original book shops in the world, with its true gondola in the center, to display books on. Simply unbelieveble!

The best bookstore in Venice, you will find here everything! Mlst of the book are in italian, but you can buy here also nice maps, postcards...

Worth a detour from the busier parts of town, a bookstore w unique decor! Books are mostly in Italian and a few shelves of other languages, found an old copy of wealth of nations to keep :)

Liberia Acqua Alta features steps created from stacks of hardbacks tied together by string. The shop is only about a decade old and houses four cats, who will likely judge you from their as you skim.

Secret but not so secret spot. One of the most beautiful bookstores in the world. go straight til the end and you’ll see a spot for scenic views. 😍

Amazing book store. Make sure to see both the side room and the little outside area at the back

One of the 3 most famous 2nd hand bookstores. It's was flooded but the owner kept all the water damaged books. Go check it out!

Great opportunity for some holiday snaps, wouldn’t bother with the book staircase though long line to wait, plenty more areas in the shop for that perfect instagram shot

Cool view in the back, old erotic postcards, one of a kind setup. Belle from Beauty and the Beast would have lost her shit.

An absolutely special bookstore, nice to visit and take pictures, not necessarily finding something to buy

Tip by Marco G. on Friday the 27 of February, 2015 at 2:04 pm
By then a cult in the city with its almost surreal taste this library is truly a not to miss, come above all with high tides

Tip by Georgo Díba on Friday the 11 of March, 2016 at 9:17 pm
The best book store I've ever seen, should be on your list! 👍🇮🇹

Tip by Olivia Dehertz on Friday the 11 of September, 2015 at 4:13 pm
The vendors and their cats are super friendly + wonderful postcards! (And cheap)

Tip by Francesco Paolo Fumarola on Saturday the 16 of March, 2019 at 10:01 pm
It's a pity there's hell of tourists wandering around the place just taking selfies, cause the bookstore is actually full of some good gems worth to discover

Tip by Hannah Brænden on Sunday the 26 of July, 2015 at 9:40 am
A yawning cat in a truly remarkeble bookstore :)

Tip by Thiago Maia on Sunday the 24 of January, 2016 at 6:41 pm
