Starting in May of 2015, wheeled suitcases are banned in Venice.
CNN Link 500 euros ($620) for anyone caught using one. Edit: date fixed, also, they're going to allow special wheeled suitcases that have "air filled" wheels being developed.

LOL!...Hilarious! This kind of microminutia concern by governments and authorities over such insignificant issues is typical...while the rest of Rome burns. How will they hear ISIS coming with their AK's and explosive vests packed tightly in their luggage without the warning announced by that clack-clack-clack?

We love Venice and have been several times and I am fine with this. Will not stop the wife and I from visiting.
We tend to travel light so I suppose we could just take our hiking packs instead. They hold about as much as our suitcases so no big deal for us. |
