CityNerd | Are Amazing Cities Being Overrun By Tourism? Porto As Cautionary Tale @CityNerd | Uploaded April 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
City tourism is great, but it's not so great when we all try to go the same place at the same time. Join me as I explore the horrors of what excessive numbers of folks on holiday (not to mention expats) have done to Porto, Portugal, including stops at Sao Bento train station and the ground zero of overtourism, Livraria Lello.
