stunning vacation hot spot turns into overcrowded nightmare as tourists flood streets
with many "new" posters on the forum wanting to go to the amalfi, how crowded will it be? taking day trips with thoughts of getting around easily, long long lines, crowded ferries, buses, trains, roads, restauranrs needing reservations.
my own opinion is many travelers are in for a big surprise how packed the towns will be that many may not comprehend until they are here. like many places all over italy, towns/cities are overload now which many residents are not happy. social media/tic-tok/instragram hasn't helped, go there, take a photo and say been there done that. no low season anymore, busy all year long, with coastal places shut down during winter time. just be prepared and enjoy yourselves.

Hi, Princess. We’re planning an Italy trip for Sept/Oct with a cruise, but also staying in Venice, Florence and Rome. I keep reading about how busy places are, but I think you’re right, we can’t comprehend how packed it is until we experience it ourselves. Is there anyplace in the states that would give us an idea how busy? Disneyland on a holiday weekend? New Years Eve at Times Square? I know each city and different areas at different times will be busier than others, but any ideas would help us be prepared.
Thank you!
