...or the iconic Danieli hotel.
And the quintessential Venetian gondolas!
That’s why I want to show you this curious place:
The self-proclaimed "most beautiful bookstore in the world" is located near St. Mark's square and is probably the most chaotic one I've ever seen. There are books everywhere in no logical order -apparently. There's even a full-size gondola inside which serves as a shelf.
Some furry friends hang out here as well.But its top attraction is in the back, a patio with book steps (books are also used as furniture here) that entice you into following them for...
...this wonderful view.
It's definitely worth a visit, right? It reminded me of Shakespeare and Co. in Paris which we visited last summer.
Now you see why I make so much emphasis on getting lost in a city, how else would you find picturesque places like this?
Another piece of advice I usually give is to see the city's landmarks twice if possible: during daylight and then at night when the streetlights are on and buildings become alive again.
See you next week,
