Top 5 cities where it is impossible to move around by car

There are cities and villages on the planet that do without cars entirely. For example, in the village of Zermatt, it is prohibited by law, and in the city of Lamu, the streets are too narrow.

The city of Giethoorn in the Netherlands is on this list because it has recently turned into a "Venice of the Netherlands." Local residents discovered that there was a lot of peat in the land where the settlement is located and began to dig it out en masse. Thus, the resulting pits began to fill with water, Travelask writes (to see the photo, scroll to the bottom of the page).

But in the Swiss village of Zermatt, you can't drive a private car because of a law. The government passed it to avoid air pollution. Locals use horses, carts, bicycles, or electric vehicles to get around.

On the territory of the Greek city of Idra, it is forbidden to use vehicles with a motor or that pollute the air with exhaust gas. The reason for this is that the island is considered a protected area.

The residents of the Russian village of Sviyazhsk do not use cars simply because there is no need to. The size of this area is only 1.5 x 0.5 km.

In the city of Lamu, which is located in Kenya, people are used to traveling by donkeys or boats. This option is much more convenient for them because the streets of the town are too narrow.
