Really like the formatting which makes for fast easy reading.
I had no probs parking a run down Ford Taunus right outside that edifice in Ghent one August quite a few years ago it was. And it was 5am dark and unwelcoming damp. I was outside having a smoke, waiting for things to open when a thuggish young scruff approached and asked me where the Court House was. He thought I was a fellow traveller until I opened my mouth. Understandable mistake tho. I was as young and scruffier...
Now the smokes have gone and snap, I ride a pushbike most places
The easiest way to get rid of cars is to take away parking - you can drive here but you can't stop. Anywhere EVER.
Florence, is a great example of this, day after my 21st, with the new to me baby 15 y/o Renault (thanks Dad), Architecture student, so this city is the pinnacle - we drove around Florence from dawn to dusk and until we ran out of petrol, utterly unable to stop the car, anywhere. The Carabinieri brought us a litre or two of petrol & we fled to a campground out of the city - never to return, hungry, and bitterly disappointed. But we had learned our lesson. Arrive by train and walk.
