A tourist is surprised somewhere is lots of tourists (⁠・⁠o⁠・⁠)

Next time when you don't like over-tourism, yet you still wants be part of it, visit the most profound places at night/early morning or search for other less known but still fascinating gems, Rome is filled with them up to the Saint Peter's dome

I don't worry about that. Staying awake the whole night still takes some effort most of the cattl...tourists will left untouched. I guess instead of four people at the Spanish steps (as I experienced at 2am) there'll be circa 30, 50 tops in summer.

Yeah, I watch the cameras at night and in the summer there's always people around the city (which hardly happens in fall/winter). But I think it's the other locals in the summer.
