Most Beautiful Bookstore in the World!

#bookstoresandgalleries Hidden along Venice’s side streets behind an unassuming facade, Libreria Acqua Alta, this unique bookstore is home to a treasure trove of new and used books. The name itself even means “Book Store of High Water.” Keeping a collection of books in a city where the roads are made of water is a dangerous idea to begin with, but Venice’s Libreria Acqua Alta has composed of a number of over-stuffed rooms stacked wall-to-wall with books, magazines, maps, and other ephemera. Due to Venice’s constant flooding, however, these picturesque piles are all placed inside bathtubs, waterproof bins, and in one room a full-size gondola. Climb the staircase made out of damaged books to enjoy an idyllic view, which is located at the end of the bookstore. Don’t miss out on taking a photo at the fire escape, which opens out to the canal. Also, try to spot one of the many resident cats the bookstore has adopted. 🕰️Business Hours: 9.30am to 7.15pm Monday - Sunday 📍Address: C.
