grew up in a major European city with lots of tourism. Asian tourists are almost invisible on how unobnoxious they are. while Americans are loud and entitled. Germans and English tourists were annoying but only came to get drunk on the beach. Israeli tourists also tend to be entitled and annoying.
other groups were rare so not much to talk about them
Depends. Those big tourist groups are definitely an issue when the streets are already cramped without tourists and you have places to be.
From Barcelona. they only shop up on line a handful of corners, seems like they get off the bus on the Sagrada Familia or other simpler spots, take their picture and go back to the bus. I didn't specify which eat Asians, because never gotten too close and no one complains about them.
Eating people is generally frowned upon.
*EAST ASIANS!!! EAST ASIANS!!!!!!
oh fuck, I'm on a list now, aren't I?
I've been to Barcelona, didn't seem like a particularly cramped city. When I lived in a cramped, touristy city, my university was one of the attractions and right in the middle of the city center.
they do have a lot of policies to not overdo tourism and become a theme park. like banning airbnb or adding a tax on hotels for tourists...
it does help
It also helps that they have really wide streets compared to some other popular tourist destinations. Some of those old european towns have really narrow streets.
funny you mention. the ramblas is usually packed full of tourists. however all the cool local places for locals are a in that neighborhood a street away. all locals know that, and they enjoy that neighborhood, while you'll rarely see tourists getting lost there.
I live in Prague and work every day in the center.
By far the worst are the Brits who get fall down drunk and try to start fights. Americans are only annoying in that they talk loudly and are often kind of dumb. But they are generally polite. They don't hold a candle to the Brits. The rest are generally mild enough as to not be noticeable unless they are in a big group blocking the sidewalk which can be any nationality.
That's on you though because you got the worlds best beer.
Yes. It is at once both a blessing and a curse.
Visiting Prague right now and mostly noticing the Brits xD
Hard to miss unfortunately.
Israelis not respecting other people's property? I'm shocked.
it's common for them to do a world tour after their military service. they usually feel at the top of the world by then. not the most stable people
