One price for locals, another for tourists: Lisbon restaurants' secret tax on out-of-towners
Briefly

Lisbon restaurants are offering lower prices for locals, while tourists remain unaware, as discounts are communicated in whispers or hidden menus, creating a secretive two-tier pricing system.
This practice allows restaurants to charge tourists more without losing local clientele, but it's illegal and indicative of a larger issue: the backlash against overtourism affecting multiple European cities.
Overtourism has led to a rise in visitors that results in overcrowding and price hikes, prompting local protests against tourists in several destinations across Europe.
In places like Barcelona and Venice, locals are protesting against the overwhelming tourist presence, which they feel has detrimental effects on their communities and environments.
