It was great. We can’t go to Italy without going to Venice. It is a one of a kind experience. So fun and full of history. Should have booked our entry to San Marco cathedral earlier but the wait was not all that bad. The Ghetto tour was worth going to and also the Hidden Venice walking tour was great.

We found it! You can miss it for sure as it is tucked away in an alley for sure. It’s small and has some great finds for books and post cards. Unfortunately with this on social media it is so crowded you can’t even enjoy walking through it to really see what it has. Go early to miss the crowds if you want to soak it all in.

We visited the Liberia Acqua Alta bookshop. It is known as being pretty quirky, an offbeat book shop with vintage titles, a gondola and even a bathtub in the shop … and inhabited by resident cats! And yes - the cats were there.

A must if you’re in Venice. Might not look like much at first but captures the spirit of the city well. Cats, books - the books being on a gondola in the middle of the shop. And actually got a fair bit of history as well with it.

We were already in the area so decided to go again the the liberia Acqua alta. As it had been the first time we visited, it was packed with tourists and we were delighted to see there were even more 'attractions'. A basket of very cheap (what seemed to be) recycled books as well as the calendars and postcards plus a good selection of new books. We were also delighted to see one of the cats sitting majestically by the till and he/she even allowed me to give it a little lickle on the cheek. Delighted again to be in the place!

This place got horrid reviews so i was skeptical but i thought it would be to cool to miss. I made sure I got there just as they opened. Raining so very few people. If you love books, this is the place and books in many languages. Staff was very nice and helpful

We saw this place on social media before our holiday to Venice and decided we would add this to our list of places to visit. It did not disappoint. It was a little crowded, and there was a queue that you had to follow; which made it a little difficult when trying to look at the books and postcards on offer to buy but overall very different and many books and if your like us and a avid bookworm. Do not miss this place.

Fabulous book shop, you could spend hours there if it wasn’t for poor behaviour by tourists. They push and knock and often have little respect for the books. The owners are lovely people and the black cat is gorgeous. Please everybody that visits…… be respectful and kind to books and others.

Fun little shop of books and cats. Don't miss the exit with all the books lining the patio...very cool. We went about 30 min before closing and line wasn't too bad. Little girl running thru kept saying skoozy skoozy.

Great little find if you’re on a budget & can’t afford to go in the gondola’s but still want that famous picture in one. There was a bit of a queue and it’s one way but it wasn’t too much of a wait. I’d recommend going in the real one if you have the funds to though, but this is a great alternative if not. Loads of books in the store too, a bookworms heaven.
