Reckoning Looms for Golf Carts Zipping Through Rome's Crowded Historic Center The historic center of Rome is often regarded as a timeless and unchanging bastion of Italian culture, but beneath its ancient façade lies a complex web of mobility issues exacerbated by the rise of golf cart tourism.
While some argue that these vehicles are a convenient and environmentally friendly way to navigate the city's crowded streets, others see them as a symbol of the problems created by overtourism.
The lack of regulation surrounding golf carts is a primary concern. With hundreds zipping through the historic center at any given time, locals feel like they're being held hostage by these vehicles.
