  1. Good for them. Bringing in millions of dumb tourists each year is a guaranteed way to destroy the soul of any city.

  2. Good. Let the shitty cruise ship pay for the usage. They come after eating on board to the city bring not much money to the local shops and leave behind a big pile of costs like cleaning, repair and such.

  3. Ah, the old “pay the watchman a toll to pass through the city gate”. Luckily I have a rogue in my party, so we can scale the walls after dark.

  4. Italian here:

    They are doing this maneuver because in these years the local government completely ignored the massive flow of tourists coming in, focusing only on the money…look how that almost destroyed Venice in 2018-2019…you could not walk in the streets (plus tons of shit I’ve seen stupid idiot tourists do).
