@@karenmbbaxter Living in Australia myself I agree. I like being living down here. Obviously tourist hotspots can get busy but I really love finding secluded beaches to just wander and explore.
That's what we did -- from California and our sleep scheduled was messed up so we were up anyway lol. Visited quite a few places and got some awesome pics without people!
I went to Rome for the first time right after Europe opened back up to American tourists in 2021. The city was empty. I felt like I had it all to myself. I didn't at the time realize how lucky I was. These crowds are awful
I did Edinburgh in 2021 and it was dead - so amazing… I went back in 2023 and it was stressful 😣 the golden mile was full up and that’s not the issue, the issue is the rudeness of some tourists
Thing is, it used to be fun catching the sight of crowds, like 30 - 40 years ago, these days though, we all just resemble piles of garbage - what happened?? :o
@@silkegehtyoutubegarnichtsa892 This is so true. I literally only saw 4 nicely dressed people in the whole video. The clothing was not matching and completely frumpy. Have we as a society just given up on ourselves that we wander around looking like this? I can see why aliens from other planets are not coming near here.
Halt - no way, but some “tiny” restrictions yes. Like paying entry fee in Venice or some beach restriction. Italy get too much $$$ from tourism to implement meaningful restrictions.
@@olasek7972Italy gets less money from tourism in percentage of GDP than the UK. We aren't as reliant as many people think, and we can afford to lose tourists for our own peace of mind
imagine all bigger cities are in this condition in Italy, and even worse depending on the period of the year. I live in Bologna and I can definitely relate. Florence is worse, Napoli is getting worse, Venice is almost literally sinking under the weight of tourism. Can we please live and work in our own cities? They're not amusement parks, and we locals are not amused. And no, this kind of tourism isn't doing any good, damage is way bigger than profit, especially for cities relying on industries & manufactures and universities (as Bologna, or Milan for example). It's really overwhelming 😶
To an introvert like myself, this is just insane. People packed liked sardines, all vying for a better view, ruining the scenery. I'd much rather sacrifice a look at tourist trap landmarks for the places less traveled. I'd feel exhausted after just a few minutes of trying to navigate these crowds.
@@williammatthews4491 thank you for your reply. Yea I would think going early in the morning makes sense. However places like Colosseum don't open until 9am as i checked on websites. Still, I'll follow your suggestion and head out early to explore this beautiful city. Thank you.
The crowds are because nearly everyone, sadly, goes to exactly the same places. Rome can accommodate more than a few thousand tourists, obviously, but not if they all stand at Trevi for half a day. If it doesn't stop, literally everything will soon require payment of an admission fee.
Similar in Paris. We joked that if they moved the Mona Lisa and the Eiffel Tower to be near the airport, that would get rid of most of the tourists. I heard the louvre is actually planning to move the Mona Lisa to reduce crowding.

Yes. I am Roman, I don't understand why tourists come in August melting under the sun on the concrete. Fall or Spring are the best periods for visiting cities in Europe, climate is perfect, few tourists, lower prices.
@@Max-zs6ur i visited Rome in February once and it was wonderful. I went to Pompeii on a day trip, stopped at Sorrento, and saw all the sights in Rome with no crowds. And, there was no problem getting a reservation for dinner in any restaurant.
I am a Roman citizen and world traveler, I am 55 years old. Every now and then I walk around the city and as usual I saw (especially in the area around St. Peter's Basilica) numerous unauthorized tour guides harassing tourists. They are easily recognisable, they have a fake authorization or faded identification card around their neck, they come from countries like India and Bangla Desh or from North Africa or Latin America but there are also some Italians, they offer tourist services. If I were a foreign tourist I would avoid listening to them. Plan your trip in advance and you will not need any unauthorized guide. If you need a tourist guide or generic tourist services, rely on official channels or someone who has at least an office and an address.
Some years ago in Rome my partner got called out by the “tour guide police” (not sure who they really are) for telling me and a couple of friends about a statue we were looking at in a church, there was actually a sign there saying it was forbidden to talk to more than two people about the statue! You would think they could enforce rules about obviously fake guides rather than harassing tourists.
@@akirathedog777 Maybe I took a couple of holidays, maybe more, my travel experience around the world cannot be quantified "scientifically or arithmtically" but I consider myself expert enough to give useful advice, especially in the city where I have always lived.

Whoahhhh! So many people! We were there in November a couple years ago and it wasn't even a 1/10 of this. I guess people go when they can go. An amazing city though. Thanks for the walk. -H
Why are there so many locks on the posts? I never noticed. Do most of the shops along the way sell "made in Italy" products? Trevi Fountain is always crowded. Impossible to get down to the bottom. I had Nutella gellito there that was so good. I just stood back and watched the crowd. Thanks for an enjoyable video. I always see something new along the way. It's so fun.🥰❤️
Are u using a GoPro i've been touring a lot lately and i was thinking maybe i should record something too lol i've only seen Venice and Milano in Italy .. i'm 30 and i've never been to Rome which is crazy .. thanks for showing what it looks like very nice !
We went to Rome 28th June and found that it was not that busy, very easy to get around. Things of note, 4 Romina Gypsies surrounded my wife to take her hand bag, but was stopped by the local Italian woman. Very expensive all round, and no real value. Food very over priced and basic, Pizza & Pasta, it was the same everywhere we went in Italy. Seems like the Italians have no taste buds. Rubbish and graffiti everywhere, Dog poo everywhere. Taxi drivers will rip you off. Local transport is cheap, Buses, Trams & Trains. Ripped of with hire car company, booked and paid for a large SUV, got a medium size car, where we could not get all our suitcases in, so had to drive back and forth with the suitcases. Would we go back - NOPE.
NEVER go June - August! Rookie Mistake! April - May is the best time to go to Rome. It’s right after the rainy season and warm and not too crowded yet.
Should rename the video with "Fontana di Trevi is crowded right now".... Which is always, because most of the tourists still visit Rome as they would visit Las Vegas... In 2024 they're still visiting the set of "Roman holiday" and not the city of Rome, neglecting the true gems.
Purtroppo c'è troppa gente 😂. È un bene per i romani.dal punto di vista turistico ma è un male per i turisti che vorrebbero godersi meglio le attrazioni
Who wants to spend thousands of dollars to go on a vacation of a lifetime only to be surrounded be people everywhere and having to wait in line. I can do that at home.
I really wish they wouldn't have commercialized the area around the fountain. It would look much better, I think & the area would feel more sacred. I especially don't like the Prada billboard having to be right there alongside history.
I’m trying to understand the point of going to a place like this? The whole world is suffering from mass psychosis. Thousands of people gathered to look at each other and take pictures of themselves.
Only like this around the major attractions. We were there last year in May. You won't be disappointed, Rome is incredible! Go at the end of August it won't be this crowded.
August is the hottest month, it’s when locals go on vacation and leave the city. But it’ll still be full of tourists since it is when most people have vacation. I would stay away until October.
I was in Rome in May 2021, the week BEFORE they lifted the insane corona lockdown, which was never seriously enforced. I swear we were the only tourists in the city, it was amazing. The Vatican museum was practically empty.
that is exactely what Barcelona looks like ( I would say Barcelona is even much more crowded than this) and why people are complaining about tourism and mass immigration there... nothing feels local anymore... locals are even hard to spot nowadays as the majority are just foreigners. At least Rome has their culture left intact.. in Barcelona you don't even know what is from there, what is south american, what is southern spanish, what is actually catalan? mass tourism and immigration is destroying cities and their culture, it's becoming a big amusement parc
i plan on getting a Visa and a Passport sometime soon ill cross off Italy and france on my bucket list id rather go to hungary Austria Switzerland Belgium Slovenia and Finland👍 maybe hit Germany and ireland Luxembourg
My wife and I just came back from Rome 2 weeks ago. Besides the very crowded places, the temperature was in the high 90s the whole time we were there. And very humid too. We visited the Trevi fountain area, and I never saw the fountain!
this is a clear example for those who seek fame!!!!............the grass is never greener on the other side............"imagine living in this place as of today"!!!!......what a nightmare....nothing healthy about a place like this
I know it’s busy but at least everyone there is white. And they shouldn’t have that fashion advertisement Prada poster pasted on the wall overlooking the people at the fountain. And why were those girls singing, that was silly, just because she getting married, that’s so European.
Stuff like this always makes me realize how modern people have a complete lack of elegance and fashion. Mostly people dressing up like children, moving like potato sacks with basic clothes on them.
I went to rome a few years ago in November. It was also very crowded. I really loved the antique buildings, but the rest of the city was really dirty, the streets in bad condition and besides the crowds I really got annoyed by the sheer mass of rose sellers, burglars and other scammers. I think I will never visit it again. :(
That's not too bad actually. I remember being in that same spot in 1998 looking at that road across the steps (Via dei Condotti) and I couldn't see the road it was wall to wall bodies.
No thanks I'll be a tourist in a nation that isn't popular. I never saw this in Russia, South Africa, or even Costa Rica. They had tourists but not to this extant. Closest I saw to this was in China and Spain.
19:45 I'm just cringing at all the people taking pictures of this site. Just soak it all in. A picture added to your social media isn't doing the site justice plus there are so many pictures taken of that place.
Why wouldn't Rome be crowded right now? After all, it's 'high peak' traveling season and Rome is always one of the most popular European destinations, no??
Clearly you need to charge more money for a visa and entrance into your country. Use the valve to stem the tide. And pocket the money. Remember that thing called money that your government always needs so it can give it to you?
Visit the Keats-Shelley House/Museum and Keats grave at the Campo Cestio. Maybe tour the whole cemetery as other people are buried there and it is a beautiful place.
It’s also off the beaten track for tourists, so not crowded. Another place like that is the Appian Way, an ancient Roman road lined with villas and tombs, most of it is pedestrian & bike only.
Have to agree, visited Italy and it was soooo overcrowded, We were constantly warned about robbers, constantly left EVERYTHING in the hotel safe. Que's everywhere, finding a toilet a nightmare. 😢😢😢😢.And the cost!!!.
To me that is just hell on earth with those crowds, what a nightmare!

Clearly you need to charge more money for a visa and entrance into your country. Use the valve to stem the tide. And pocket the money. Remember that thing called money that your government always needs so it can give it to you?
Visit the Keats-Shelley House/Museum and Keats grave at the Campo Cestio. Maybe tour the whole cemetery as other people are buried there and it is a beautiful place.
It’s also off the beaten track for tourists, so not crowded. Another place like that is the Appian Way, an ancient Roman road lined with villas and tombs, most of it is pedestrian & bike only.
go at 5am-6am, they wont be there, some coffee house open at 4. should be okay if you're on usa time. thats 9pm for you.
I’m glad I went in march last year for my birthday. Wasn’t crowded at all and had a wonderful experience. 😊
I went to Rome (on bicycle) last week of May, we could approach the fountain of Trevise
I'd rather be camping nothing beautiful about man made things. Beauty is trees ponds rivers oceans , not this !

Maybe the world yearns for beautiful architecture. Could be a sign modernists 👀👀
Have to agree, visited Italy and it was soooo overcrowded, We were constantly warned about robbers, constantly left EVERYTHING in the hotel safe. Que's everywhere, finding a toilet a nightmare. 😢😢😢😢.And the cost!!!.
The simple solution is to charge more by raising hotel taxes and ban Air BNBs.
