Venice’s iconic Caffè Florian, the oldest, the luxury coffee shop in the world

Today, the Caffé Florian still retains the charm of the ages it has lived through. With its architecture, the result of renovations and reconstructions, the richly decorated rooms in different styles (the most famous being the Senate floor, the Chinese Room and the East Room, the Hall of Famous Men), and its 18th-19th century interiors, the café is an important cultural center where exhibitions are organized, meetings, and installations (here, at the end of 1800s, what would later become the famous Venice Biennale was created). But it remains, however, also an ideal place for tourists who simply want to enjoy an espresso sitting at a little table in the heart of Venice, a few steps from the Grand Canal.

In the winter you’ll find it difficult to get a seat; in the summer when the tables spread to the square outside it won’t be a problem except on rainy days.

The reason of why it becomes luxuries coffee shop it’s not only because of the collection hanging in the wall, but also for it’s decoration.

Its tables are marble, its seats red plush, its waiters immaculately dressed in elegant white jackets.

With its lovely stained glass front windows you’ll be able to get some idea of the magnificence inside.

In the beginning, it just has two rooms, latter it has added five more over the centuries and now boasts seven, each of them decorated lavishly with mirrors, huge works of art and gold leaf everywhere.
