Venice is to ban loudspeakers and tourist groups of more than 25 people, in a bid to ease the impact of mass tourism on the Italian city.
The new rules will come into effect from June, the city said in a statement.
The use of loudspeakers has been banned as they can “generate confusion and disturbances”, it added.
Over-tourism is widely recognised as an urgent issue for the canal city, one of the most visited places in Europe.
In September, Venice approved the trial of a €5 (£4.30; $5.35) fee for daily visitors.
Possibly to give the tourism sector enough notice. Lots of people plan their trips almost a year ahead, if there are changes like this it’s fair everyone knows beforehand
