Here’s why: I think that people mostly use picturesque for the countryside and not city. The tourist modifier makes this even higher IMO. Who is happy to see lots of tourists? No one.
Also, I have been to Venice several times (it’s a <2h train ride from where I live) and I can tell you guys firsthand tourists crowds are an absolute scourge, especially for a relatively small city where the streets are often cramped. Treep is European and it’s reasonable to think she visited Venice at least once.
basically what I was thinking, also there were several reports within the last year or so that Venice strongly dislikes the tourist masses and that they are generally happy with COVID bringing some quiet into the city.
Unfortunately I haven't visited yet and the prospect of tourist masses was the main reason why not.
