The residents of the city are frustrated with the disturbing tourists who are messing around and bumping into each other.

Amsterdam bans cruise ships in its downtown area to curb the number of tourists and reduce the city’s pollution problems. Among other things, they reported on the matter BBC and the Guardian.

This means that the main cruise terminal near the main train station will be closed.

Since May, the use of cannabis has been prohibited in the famous red light district.

The main target group of the campaign was British men aged 18–35, the city announced at the time.
