]]>Architectural Marvels
Some of the world’s most stunning bookstores are located inside breathtaking historical buildings and they’re worth the visit for their architectural beauty alone.
Bookstore Cafés
Many bookstores around the world come with a charming café on the premises, where you can relax after a long day of sightseeing.
Great New Books
Buying books is the most obvious reason for visiting a bookstore, but there’s a catch. Bookstores in foreign countries are a great place to discover new books that you couldn’t find at home.
Amazing Souvenir
Bookstores also happen to be a great place to find souvenirs—from books to other tiny trinkets that you can take home to your loved ones.
Local Experience
Since they’re usually not as popular as some other tourist attractions, bookstores are a great place to mingle with the locals and attend a wide range of cultural events, from reading nights to art exhibitions and concerts.

]]>That didn’t stop owners of Libreria Acqua Alta from opening a bookstore in this city and coming up with creative ways to protect it from rising waters.
All of the books on this whimsical property are piled into waterproof bins, bathtubs, canoes, and a full-size gondola. By storing them this way, owner Luigi Frizzo came up with a perfect way to protect his impressive collection – and managed to create one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world at the same time.
Libreria Acqua Alta, aka the “bookstore of high water”, is located in close proximity to St. Mark’s Square. It’s a little bit difficult to find, but once you’re there – you’ll never want to leave.
It’s one of the most picturesque places you’ll ever walk into, and we won’t judge you if you spend hours sitting by the “fire escape” which opens directly onto a canal at the back of the shop.

]]>The Strand
The Strand is an independent bookstore in New York City, just off of Union Square. There are so many books in this store that if you put them together, they say it would stretch for 18 miles. There you will find new, old, and unique books all at amazing prices. But whether you buy something or not, you have to go just to see how many books can fit into one store.

Shakespeare and Company
This English bookstore in Paris, France, is famous because of all the incredible writers that have visited and even lived in the store. Those include Hemmingway, Fitzgerald, Kerouac, and more. The store was also the first shop to publish James Joyce’s complete Ulysses.
Selexyz Dominicanen
Located in Maastricht, The Netherlands, this shop is an absolute must-see if you’re in the country. Housed in a 13th-century gothic church, this fairly new bookstore has so much character you won’t believe.
