1 high water level

If you are tired of Venice's crowded downtown, Acqua Alta, which is rated as one of the top ten most beautiful bookstores in the world by Repubblica, will definitely surprise you. The bookstore used to be a small library. Luigi, who has been a bookseller for many years, bought it and opened it as a private bookstore. There were many precious books in the last century, and any one you found in the corner may be the only one left in the world.

The most distinctive feature of Acqua Alta Bookstore is the12m cable car, which is full of books related to Venice. Not only that, the owner Luigi also put barrels, bathtubs and abandoned boats to put books, and outdated encyclopedias became part of the decoration in the store.

It's really amazing. Moreover, the bookstore will regularly hold various cultural activities, including writers' sharing salons, literary dinners, concerts and American food and wine banquets, and will also invite parents to take their children to participate in enlightenment education activities.
