A favourite European city break route is bracing for major disruptions as new restrictions threaten to derail travel plans for thousands of holidaymakers.
The popular destination, known for its historic charm and vibrant culture, is introducing measures that could complicate journeys for tourists.
What’s Changing?
The new rules, set to take effect soon, include stricter entry requirements and potential delays at key transit points. Authorities cite overcrowding and sustainability concerns as the driving forces behind the changes.
Impact on Travellers
Tour operators and airlines are already adjusting schedules, with some routes facing reduced frequency. Passengers are advised to check their itineraries and allow extra time for potential delays.
- Increased security checks at airports
- Limited access to certain tourist hotspots
- Revised public transport schedules
Why Now?
The move comes as part of a broader effort to manage overtourism and preserve the city’s infrastructure. Local officials hope the measures will balance visitor numbers with resident needs.
"We want to ensure a sustainable future for our city while still welcoming visitors," a spokesperson said.
What Should You Do?
If you’re planning a trip, here’s how to stay ahead:
- Review your travel insurance for coverage on disruptions
- Monitor official updates from your airline or tour provider
- Consider alternative travel dates if flexibility allows
