- TulliusCicero 4y agoLooks like cars are only banned from the center of the city there. I won't dispute that it looks quite nice though.
- nextos 4y agoPontevedra is very compressed. Pedestrian-only areas cover most of the city.
- TulliusCicero 4y agoIt looks like it only takes 10 minutes or to walk from one end where there's cars to the other. In contrast, going from the train station in Venice to the park on the opposite end takes close to an hour. Part of why Venice is nice is because it feels big enough to really explore on foot. Having a much smaller town that has no cars is okay, but not quite the same experience.
