In this first part of my summer update, Virus Cruises™ make a comeback, with Norwegian state broadcaster NRK putting three (!!!) journos™ on a story™ reported by local papers earlier
>Most tourists aren’t interested in doing sightseeing (we have two mediaeval churches in my town from the 12th century)
WTF
Everywhere I go the first thing I look up are - ok where are the churches...where are the oldest ones. Now where are the oldest *buildings.* Ok, are there any art tours?
I will take your hour-long walking tour and turn it into 5 hours with all my irrelevant questions.
Edit: I have a family member in Braga, Portugal right now and I asked him to visit the Bom Jesus and make a third-order relic for me under the direction of the Padre there. He is an atheist and is now concerned that he 'is Catholic.' So nice that he did this though. I can't stop laughing at his 'concerns.'
I've spent most of this sunny week outside making hay; needless to say, I don't do sunblock or sun screen, but for reasons unknown (rolls eyes), even me, that fair-skinned, red-turning-grey-haired European, hasn't gotten a sunburn either.

Oh, well, most tourists appear to be interested in food and booze, and to check their bucket lists, it would seem.
Oh, my walking tour is 3:30-4 hours, so there's plenty of time for these questions.
As to your edit: well done, my good sir, and I share your chuckles.
Sounds as if NRK has been reading too much about the 'Demeter' out of Bram Stoker's novel.
Or maybe smoking shit?
Since it's also been very sunny outside, they may just have been outside too much without, you know, burka-like Sun Protection 2030™…
Seeing as I've been out hiking until last night, walking shirtless on the fjells with the Sun hammering down on me, I say "Nei" to that.
Like children at camps telling scary stories, they are addicted to their own fear.
