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.

Emily Heyward

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.

Kaitlin

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!

Iris Pezzali

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!

Adley

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 ...

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. Read more

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

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

Georgo Díba

The best book store I've ever seen, should be on your list! 👍🇮🇹

MJ Lee

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!

Vee Lombo

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

Olivia Dehertz

The vendors and their cats are super friendly + wonderful postcards ! (And cheap )

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

Lovely opportunity to get unique posters and postcards , if not for the experience.

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

You e probably never seen a bookstore like this one. Here, you don't find a book , a book finds you.

A yawning cat in a truly remarkeble bookstore :)

A nice break from the crowded roads of Venice. Unfortunately most of the books are in Italian. Lots of postcards & maps
