1Venice, Italy

Venice, the โ€œFloating City,โ€ is famous for its canals, bridges, and historic architecture. However, this romantic destination has been overwhelmed by mass tourism for years. The cityโ€™s fragile ecosystem and the impact of large cruise ships have pushed Venice to restrict tourist numbers.
Day-trippers now face entrance fees, and efforts are being made to reduce overcrowding in the cityโ€™s narrow streets and squares. The local population has been shrinking, as high rents and crowded living conditions make it difficult for Venetians to stay.
