Noticeably less public advertisement. I didn't see billboards, and I didn't feel as "marketed too" as I do in America. There were absolutely signs and advertisements , but they felt much less "in your face", if that makes sense.
I don’t know if I agree with this. There’s probably less total billboards, but I still felt they were in my face. The one that stood out the most for me was a giant Dior ad on the Louvre. I thought that was very odd.
yep, most eu countries still have issues with tons of billboards (especially in large cities), but even cities where its extremely bad usually pales in comparison to the “visual pollution” the US cities have
Yeah I’d say it’s still fairly common in some European countries to see billboards in weird places. I went to Vienna and there was a huge Samsung billboard on the side of St Stephen’s cathedral. Granted they were getting work done so it was covered in scaffolding but still thought it was weird.
