Busking anywhere?

It is possible to just start out your day by walking into any city and setting up? I know there are permits, but if you were not to take these into account, would this be possible?

Cheers,

Actually that's my standard approach to any unknown city or town and nine-point-eight times out of ten I get away with it, so I don't see why anybody else couldn't do the same. Last week I was in Paris and after getting moved on twice I found a pitch near Centre Pompidou (to be precise Boulevard Sebastopol with Rue Aubrey le Boucher) where the police allowed me to get on with it. Good spot it was, too. Of course it may depend on what exactly your art/trade is, but. If you don't try it..
