Libreria Acqua Alta is a one-of-a-kind bookstore tucked away on a tiny street in Venice. It has recently become “Instagram Famous” for a beautiful viewing platform built out the back of the shop.

Hundreds of books are stacked up to create a staircase. It grants you a unique view of the surrounding canals and bridges. A large gondola filled with books is in the middle of the store, and several resident cats keep an eye on visitors. If you are in the market for a book, some English options are available in the mix of new and used literature.
