Venice's Hidden Gems

Venice’s lesser-known landmarks offer insights into the city’s architectural evolution and local traditions. This collection features Libreria Acqua Alta, where books are stored in waterproof basins and gondolas, and Calle Varisco, one of the world's narrowest streets at 53 centimeters wide. On the islands of the lagoon, explore the 19th-century San Michele cemetery, the Burano Lace Museum, and the 7th-century mosaics of Torcello’s cathedral. The list also highlights two of the city's rare remaining bridges without parapets: Ponte Chiodo and the legendary Ponte del Diavolo.

Acqua Alta Bookshop

Unique bookshop known for its hidden location and eclectic collection of books.

Varisco Lane

Narrowest street in Venice measuring just 53 cm at its narrowest point. It is a unique pedestrian passage located in a historic district.

Ponte Chiodo

Located in the Cannaregio district, this is one of only two remaining Venetian bridges without parapets. This ancient stone structure represents the city's original bridge design before side railings were added for safety. It currently serves as a private entrance to a residence.

San Michele Island Cemetery

This huge cemetery has a very special yet quite melancholic atmosphere. It was established here in the 19th century.

Lace Museum

Apart from glass, there is another iconic Venetian souvenir - the lace.

Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta

The Church of Santa Maria Assunta is a basilica church on the island of Torcello, Venice, northern Italy.

Ponte del Diavolo

Situated on the island of Torcello, this 15th-century stone bridge is one of the last examples in the Venetian lagoon built without side railings. Local folklore attributes its name to various legends involving the devil and a deal made by a young woman.
