The inhabitants of Toru\u0144 have already got used to the fact that the Old Town is crowded during these days. This summer, the organizers decided to separate special zones with lighting installations, which visitors could enter only with tickets. Three thematically different visiting zones were placed in distant parts of the Old Town and fenced, so people headed in different directions without crowding in one place. It turned out also to be a good idea to designate one way sightseeing direction within the zone which made it easier to manage the movement of the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organizers of the festival prepared two buffer car parks for the guests. A good solution was that the parking ticket with the receipt also entitled to free use of public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Text by Barbara J\u00f3zefowicz, NCU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to deal with overtourism in Old Town?
