      Not sure what this is supposed to tell me, but I’d gladly revert back to the old status.

      I was there in 2009 and it wasn’t half this bad.

      With cars: healthy mixed use urban environment.

      Without cars: overcrowded tourist trap.

      /s

      Was there around 2009, July, and it was maybe 1/3rd of the people in the bottom picture (including our group), if that. Was easily able to come right to the edge of it.

      Is this a daily occurrence now, or just a particularly clogged timing when picture was taken?

      Same picture from each Europe conrer… Thats the reality of famous cities in Europe.

      I was there 2 years ago in august and wasnt that bad. I think the photo was taken on a bad day.

      Wasnt that crowded in 2013, guess depends on the day time

      Honestly, 2nd picture looks like there’s some event going on. I can’t believe the plaza is that stacked on the regular

      Why do the people of Rome put up with this ? What a nightmare it would be to live there 😬

      I was there two years ago on a weekday in November and it was raining. Still as busy as in the second pic.

      A third of those people are pickpockets, I’m pretty sure

      Overtourism is making Rome, Florence and Venice unlivable. Help us, go somewhere else.

      I was there a couple years ago and it was never this bad. Probably gone at the busiest time of the day. Most of the time it was easily half as busy and at night was reasonably quiet with most people sipping drinks and eating ice cream pretty chill.

      I was there a week ago. Not even half as busy as this. This seems fake/ai

      I was there 2 months ago. Just as the tourist season was kicking off. It was packed. The biggest problem I saw was people standing there taking 50+ photos.

      I loved Rome but probably won’t be back due to the crowds

      I live in a tourist city in the north of Italy, and I’ve seen it go from a ‘normal city’ to a tourist trap. It’s a freaking nightmare. The rental market? It’s gone to shit. There are bed and breakfasts everywhere and far fewer houses for locals. You have to be really lucky to find a place to rent, or just move out of the city at this point.

      Christ it was so full last september. I had sort of.stimbled upon it lol

      Had expensive ice-cream next door

      I manage a hotel 150mt away from Trevi Fountain.

      Some guests wake up at 05:30 to go to the Fountain and take pics and selfies. They do so because they think there will be no one around.

      When they came back they say: “Oh God, there were a hundred of people taking pictures! Does the place ever get empty?”

    24. saturdaybinge on

      Thank god they got rid of the cars, it was getting busy!

    25. General_Resident_915 on

      I’m curious, are there any guards or security controlling around the place just incase there is overcrowding to avoid stampedes?

    26. Haatsnor on

      I was there in February. It was more like the first photo than the second.

    29. strraand on

      I was there earlier this year, not even close to being as bad as this photo.

    30. Thorns99 on

      I was there in the 80’s and looked nothing like this…crazy now

    31. Tankfly_Bosswalk on

      I was there this year, and it was every bit as bad as this, but you have to factor in it was Easter, during a Jubilee year. This year will generally be busier than usual.

    32. InspectorDull5915 on

      I don’t think it’s just coincidence that more people are visiting now it’s been coloured in.

    33. Wise_Swordfish4865 on

      I was there at the peak of COVID and there was only me and 2 carabinieri smoking in a corner. Took a ton of amazing pictures.

    34. Primary-Pianist-2555 on

      Nobody own their cities. There is always people moaning they can not afford to live in the centre of the city – what? Commute. When I was young it was the same.

      A city is supposed to be busy. An empty city is a failed one.

      Make air travel expensive again. I am not rich by any means, but even traveling on a budget was fine. You met way less freaks

    36. jaguarsadface on

      A lot of this has to do with more tourism from India and China.

    37. JohnFresh669 on

      I was there less than 10 years ago, it resembled the first picture more than the 2nd.
