Enforcers, ‘hosts’ of the municipality and traffic controllers have had their hands full from the bustle in the city center. In addition to the previously announced one-way traffic, even alleys had to be closed.

It was so busy that the municipality asked via Twittter around 11 pm last night to stop coming to the Red Light District. Images made by AT5 last night show that many tourists were present. It was often impossible to keep a distance of one and a half meters on the bridges.
