Libreria Acqua Alta (meaning bookstore of high water) sells books, magazines, and maps—all stacked in bathtubs, waterproof bins, and even a gondola. The whole vibe is amazing —the bookstore’s fire escape is actually a door leading directly into a canal. There are several stray cats feeling at home here which only makes the place more perfect.

Over half of the books being sold here are new, but there are also plenty of used and vintage editions that make the hunt very exciting. When you first arrive at its door, you won’t be sure if you’re in the right place, but one step inside will prove that it was all worth it.

The bookstore’s address is 5173 Calle Lunga and it’s very close to Scuola Grande di San Marco.
