Venice to ban large tourist groups and loudspeakers
The new rules will come into effect in June and are part of an effort to ease the impact of tourism.
Venice is to ban loudspeakers and tourist groups of more than 25 people, in a bid to ease the impact of mass tourism on the Italian city.
The new rules will come into effect from June, the city said in a statement.
The use of loudspeakers has been banned as they can "generate confusion and disturbances", it added.
Over-tourism is widely recognised as an urgent issue for the canal city, one of the most visited places in Europe.
In September, Venice approved the trial of a €5 (£4.30; $5.35) fee for daily visitors.

Good thing I can whisper.
