8Florence, Italy

Florence, the birthplace of the Renaissance, is home to some of the world’s most famous art and architecture. 

However, the city’s small historic center is inundated with tourists, particularly during the peak summer months. The narrow streets and piazzas are often overcrowded, and locals have complained about the strain on infrastructure and the disruption to everyday life.
Many of Florence’s residents have moved out of the city center, driven away by rising costs and the transformation of housing into vacation rentals. Florence is now trying to encourage more sustainable tourism by promoting off-season travel and limiting the number of visitors to certain attractions.
