Have you also been captivated by the coolest social media platform of the moment? We are in love with it and every day we search for photographs of our beloved Venice. Anyone who visits can't help but take a few shots and upload them to their profile. But photos of Venice on Instagram are not only from tourists and visitors; Venetians themselves are proud to showcase the beauty of their city by posting hidden corners, incredible sunsets, or classic must-see spots from every possible angle.

But have you ever wondered which photos of Venice are the most successful among the Instagram crowd? We have gathered for you the 5 most Instagrammable spots in our city so that next time you have the chance to snap a photo, you won't be caught unprepared.

 

1. Bookshop Libreria Acqua Alta

A must-visit for all Instagrammers is the Libreria Acqua Alta. This unique bookstore, located near Campo Santa Maria Formosa, features books as the undisputed stars. They are stacked everywhere, even in the most unexpected places: a gondola, a bathtub, a canoe... and countless piles of books scattered throughout the shop. Another unique feature is the presence of cats lounging on the books, allowing themselves to be petted and photographed by customers.

The entire bookstore offers great opportunities for photography enthusiasts, but the highlight is a staircase at the back of the shop, made entirely of books destined for recycling and cleverly arranged to be climbed by visitors. It's hard for anyone to resist the invitation to take a photo at the top of the improvised staircase, which always guarantees a shower of likes on social media.

2. Panorami Terrace from Fondaco dei Tedeschi

Among the most popular photos of Venice are countless shots taken from the panoramic terrace of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi, which, after being closed to the public for several years, reopened in 2016. The controversial and debated restoration of this building has given the city of Venice something unprecedented: a luxury shopping center where customers (mainly foreign) can find high-fashion clothing, accessories, and footwear. Since the opening of the Fondaco, Instagram has been flooded with numerous photos from its terrace, offering an extraordinary perspective of the lagoon city. Note: To access the terrace, you must book in advance on the website: https://www.dfs.com/it/venice/service/rooftop-terrace

3. Bridge of Sighs

Who, while visiting Venice, hasn't taken a photo with the Bridge of Sighs in the background? Or passed under it in a gondola during a romantic journey through the canals with their loved one? An emblem of the lagoon city, always considered the bridge of lovers, it can be photographed in all its beauty from the nearby Ponte della Paglia, on Riva degli Schiavoni, not far from St. Mark's Square. What many consider the bridge of love was originally an access ramp from the magistrates' chambers to the Prisons' Palace, where newly judged and condemned prisoners were led.

4. Gondola

Gondola and Venice are inseparable, so much so that the gondola is undoubtedly the symbol of the city today. It has ancient origins, and many visitors long to come to Venice to take a ride and, of course, capture the city from its unique perspective. In recent years, however, it has become increasingly common to encounter tourists who are more focused on their smartphones than on the beauty around them, spending most of their time scrolling through their screens. Therefore, we recommend controlled use of your smartphone; the likes will surely follow!

5. Burano

Once you arrive in Burano, take your time to capture its famous houses: mint green, yellow, blue, fuchsia pink, and many more. Walk along the canals, get lost in the narrow streets, and don't leave without exploring every corner, as each one is a revelation. But why are the houses in Burano so colorful? It seems that the colors were essential for fishermen to recognize their homes from afar, especially in the presence of fog. We predict this subject will also unfailingly attract attention!
