Venice and its lagoon
Libreria Acqua Alta, a fascinating place in Venice
Venice is a city that can never be fully understood and offers fascinating and timeless places.
In your tours in Venice we recommend you to enter “Acqua Alta”, which is not just a simple bookstore, but a place to visit to get out of the usual sightseeing tours to meet the traits of the real Venice.
Since in this part of Venice the high tide invades the shop, the owner decided to install a gondola and bathtubs to place the books away from the water. Hence the peculiarity of a place that has become a cult for Venetians and tourists.
Libreria Acqua Alta is located in Calle Longa S. Maria Formosa, 5176 / b in the Castello district. We will be happy to advise you on the best way to get there and spend a wonderful day in Venice.
