This American tourist didn’t get the concept of a ‘car free’ square in Europe and an entire continent spoke as one

A few months back we featured this video of an American tourist in Italy who want viral after complaining how much they had to walk everywhere.

And this is similar but different, another video of another American tourist in Europe which has just gone viral. Except this time it’s not that they have to walk everywhere which got people’s attention.

It’s because they ended up driving through one of the Germany’s most famous car free squares and, well, best have a watch for yourself.

‘American dad takes on family european vacation,’ said malloryraejohnson who posted it on TikTok.
