In summer 2023, some popular European tourist cities became overcrowded with tourists, leading to additional taxes and a search for less crowded alternatives. David Doughty, a travel expert and CEO of airline Admiral Jet, highlighted three cities to avoid because of excessive visitor numbers.
Venice, Italy: Venice is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, but excessive tourist numbers, outnumbering local residents at a ratio of 2:1, lead to an excessively large tourist flow and overcrowding in the city.
Bruges, Belgium: Bruges has a substantial imbalance in the ratio of tourists to residents, especially in the summer months. The city’s medieval architecture and unique atmosphere appeal to tourists, but can become a source of discomfort for local residents because of excessive visitor numbers.
Dubrovnik, Croatia: Dubrovnik, known as a filming location for ‘Game of Thrones’, made the list of chronically overcrowded places on account of its size. At peak times, especially in July and August, there can be as many as 36 tourists for each local resident.
Although these cities impress with their beauty, they have come under pressure from excessive tourism, leading to a search for alternative travel destinations.
