I lived in Oxford for a few years and, if anything, I became rather fond of all the bell ringing. But I can see why someone might have the opposite reaction.

Some churches ring three times a day for daily prayer. Dunno how common that is in the US.

I can't speak to Albania, but Austria has a massive amount of tourism and Schönbrunn Palace is the most visited attraction in the country. The Belvedere palaces are up there, too. I think the reason that London, Paris, and Vienna receive so much tourism is related to their being former imperial metropoles rather than anything to do with how current or not the royal family is.

The French got rid of their monarchy, and yet Versailles gets more visitors than Buckingham palace.
