Unusual European bans, how not to fly in a large sum

Any country has unique and inimitable bans, which sometimes seem incomprehensible and strange to foreign guests. Even if some of the rules seem bizarre and overly restrictive, remember that cities only require a little respect.

So, in Vienna, the city authorities adopted a law according to which they will fine everyone who is seen feeding street birds. Such measures are taken to control the population and health of birds that can be harmed by human food. In addition, it is believed that the waste products of birds have a destructive effect on numerous historical monuments. The fine for feeding birds varies from 50 to 200 euros.

It is forbidden to wear swimming trunks or bathing suits on the streets of many European cities. To get off the beach onto the tarmac, you must at least put on a shirt. Similar restrictions can be found in Italy, Spain and Croatia.

Venice - takes one of the first places in Europe in terms of the number of bans. So in the historical center of the city, which is a pedestrian zone, it is forbidden to move even on bicycles. Those who just want to drive a two-wheeled vehicle nearby face a fine of up to 100 euros.

In Greece, there is an official ban on high-heeled shoes. True, it mainly applies to historical sites. This was done not only for reasons of personal safety of tourists, but also with the expectation that thin hairpins can damage the surfaces of ancient monuments.

In Magaluf, which is considered one of the best resorts in Mallorca, you cannot build sand castles. The ban is justified by the fact that miniature structures can interfere with the work of rescuers. In addition, many beach goers complain that the castles block their view of the sea and do not allow them to fully enjoy their vacation. The fine for sand architecture goes up to 100 euros. There are other unusual rules at the resort - it is forbidden to pick flowers and drink water from fountains everywhere.
