In addition to being costly it also gets very crowded. Went to Amsterdam and couldn't see the Anne frank museum due to a huge line of tourist. Then went to italy's main square, couldn't get inside the Basilica. Then we went to Louvre, same thing. I just don't have patience to stand in line for hours, so it is kind of my fault. Still, I think it's best to avoid the main tourist attractions because they are generally all booked by tour operators and each groups now contains hundreds of tourists.

Italy is a state, it has not a "main square" or a "Basilica", a number of cities in Italy may have those, maybe you meant Rome?

Yes, sorry. That was a slip of tongue. I don't remember the exact city but iirc there was a bridge of sigh and many glass factories around this Basilica. Googling it, it looks like Venice.
