[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many places, in Europe especially, have been ruined by over tourism. Everyone I know who went to a major, or even secondary, European city this year said it was shoulder-to-shoulder tourists just about everywhere, and many of them got Covid, too. You need advance tickets for many sights, which kills spontaneity and makes the day a logistical puzzle. I feel fortunate that I go to go to a lot of those cities in my 20s and 30s, but now the thought of going to Paris or Rome just makes me tired. Air travel is much more of a hassle, too. Yes, there are plenty of other places that are less-touristed, but it dampens my enthusiasm all the same. [/quote]

You’re doing it wrong. I have been to 110 countries, including every European country, and know quiet, untouristed spots in all of them. You can still have incredible authenticity in Europe, but if you’re only hitting first and second tier cities, then it’s no surprise this is your experience. [/quote]

Yawn, another dilettante.[/quote]
