Returning to the city, Andrea Carlo said he was asked by the barista if he could sit inside to drink his coffee because they wanted to keep the outdoor tables free for groups. Writing in The i , Mr Carlo said that a growing number of “ tourist traps ” mean that finding somewhere to sit outside could be “close to impossible”.
Mr Carlo’s comments come as the debate around overtourism in some parts of the European continent intensifies with the introduction of tourist taxes and protests in some popular towns and cities . function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.createElement('script');el.
