The user named ProfessorOwl_PhD in the comment section said that some popular cities will levy fees. Personally, I think it's absurd for a city to charge tourists a tourism tax. This is just my personal opinion. I'll simply choose not to go there.
Overturism can and usually is a cost and a nuisance for a popular city, especially when there are just too many tourists. Usually the price is quite low (a few € per day, much less than you would spend on accomodation or food), and it's limited to the most crowded spots in the most popular time of year, and it's just enough to discourage a little number of people
In most places this is included in the accommodation's bill and isn't a lot of money.
Some cities have quite huge fees of you want to drive an old car with a dirty engine into the center. Some will even fine you for it.
I suggest getting a ticket for public transportation. There are tickets available for a day, week or month, covering cities, countries or even the whole of Europe.
Thank you for your help
that's the idea, to keep peole away or at least recoup some of the costs.
