Venice is introducing new restrictions in a bid to save the city from mass tourism.
Loudspeakers and tourist groups of more than 25 people are now banned, reports the BBC.
Earlier this year, the city also introduced an entrance fee for day visitors of five euros, equivalent to around 58 Swedish kronor.
Mass tourism to Little Venice is seen as an increasingly acute problem for the city, whose canals attract millions of visitors each year. At the same time, the original inhabitants are fleeing. According to estimates, there are more beds for tourists than for permanent residents, writes the BBC.
“We aim to make the city more livable again,” Mayor Luigi Brugnaro has previously said about the fight to save the city.
