    The reason why high heels are illegal in archaeological places is they think it will damage the monuments. Similar to the law when you're inside important rooms of the Vatican City, you can't bring a camera. Or at least one that flashes because it may damage the artwork.

    In Poland, it's banned in some cities to drink alcohol between 22.00 (10 pm) to 06.00 (6 am), with the exception of pubs and restaurants. This was introduced in Katowice in 2018 and Kraków is the most recent city to introduce it, just almost a month ago, on July 1st, and Wadowice is planning to introduce this ban.
