    I’ve been to Barcelona, didn’t seem like a particularly cramped city. When I lived in a cramped, touristy city, my university was one of the attractions and right in the middle of the city center.

      they do have a lot of policies to not overdo tourism and become a theme park. like banning airbnb or adding a tax on hotels for tourists…

      it does help

        It also helps that they have really wide streets compared to some other popular tourist destinations. Some of those old european towns have really narrow streets.
