$2 to cut a sandwich in half: The outrageous rip-offs targeting tourists in Italy | CNN

Getting gouged is all part of the experience in tourist hot spots, but some Italy seems to be taking it to audacious new levels amid complaints Italians can no longer afford vacations at home.

An Italian holiday may be a priceless experience for those who have enjoyed all this country has to offer. But the summer of 2023 will go down as one of the priciest in history after a slew of price gouging scandals at cafes and restaurants that have affected foreign tourists and Italians alike.

      I’m with you. I know it’s unpopular but fuck. I know so many people that espouse a green philosophy but won’t bat an eyelash at multiple intercontinental flights a year. And especially with the rise of air bnb tourism is just wreaking these places. Where I king, you’d get one travel pass in you twenties and another in your sixties.

          List?

          A list of things idiots say?

          Why not, you know, looked up a survey or something that tells you what it’s really like instead of what heavily downvotes people say on social media?

          Do you think there’d be no difference?
