Summer is here – and with it the chance to finally fulfill your long-awaited dream of a relaxing holiday in a previously unknown place. Maybe this time it’s off to a Greek island to lie on the beach and jump into the crystal-clear water? Or would you prefer a city trip to Italy to immerse yourself in the Dolce Vita and let yourself be carried away by the Italian attitude to life?
When we plan a holiday, we usually have an image in mind of what it will be like there. But sometimes other tourists thwart our plans. Instead of an idyllic, lonely sandy beach, we stand next to hundreds of other visitors on a small patch of sand and try to at least get a glimpse of the expected idyll.

A current ranking by the holiday home portal “Holidu” shows which places in Europe are usually overcrowded in summer. For the data analysis, the specific visitor numbers of the most visited cities in 2019 were evaluated and compared with the corresponding population figures.
