Has tourism killed Venice?

Venice is ruined. At least you'd be forgiven for thinking that if you have been following the news in recent months.

Barely a week goes by without another overtourism story emerging from the Lagoon. In 2018 the city mayor Luigi Brugnaro proposed a cap on day-trippers. Over Easter, controversial crowd-control gates were installed at pinch-points to distribute the flow of tourists. Just a few weeks ago there was outrage when a cafe charged €38 for two coffees and water.

In a brand new Telegraph Travel documentary, Greg Dickinson travels to Venice at peak season to find out if it has really been loved to death.
