Protesters in Spain joined groups in Portugal and Italy, arguing that uncontrolled tourism was raising housing prices and forcing locals out.

The Louvre, the world’s most visited museum, temporarily shut down today due to a spontaneous strike by the museum staff citing mass tourism. This comes one day after anti-tourist protests erupted across a dozen European cities.

Residents in Barcelona, Spain, and several other popular European destinations say tourism in their cities is driving up housing costs for locals.

The Louvre strike, though sudden, was not without cause. Workers described 'untenable' conditions worsened by overcrowding, chronic understaffing, and crumbling infrastructure. With nearly 8.7 million visitors last year—more than double what its current systems were designed to handle—the Louvre has become emblematic of cultural landmarks pushed to their limits.

Situated in the heart of London’s vibrant Theatreland, the Grosvenor Casino boasts a stellar Google Review rating of 4.8 out of 5.
