Honestly, people should just learn to travel off-peak. A lot of the big tourist hotspots feel so peaceful in the winter.

There's no off-peak in Venice tbf

But then, it's the winter.

I think more people should realize that some spots are just overrated.

I went to Paris a year ago. After hearing how much of a clusterfuck it is to go see the Mona Lisa painting I skipped it. My life surprisingly went on.

The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese is hung opposite the Mona Lisa and honestly was far more worth seeing as far as I'm concerned. It was also mostly ignored by people desperate to get their selfie with a postage stamp-sized painting for their social media.
