Also most likely goes at the most crowded time for some reason.

Idk if I'm just lucky but even what are supposed to be super busy touristy things I've mostly been able to see among fairly chill/ no crowds. And this includes Rome, Venice, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Berlin, Amsterdam among others, and in most of these visits to their respective cultural/ architectural/historical hotspots.

Like literally just go in April or early October I guess. Or like at night. Something like this.
