The clash between Dubrovnik’s picturesque cobblestones and the constant rumble of suitcase wheels has become too much for the locals. These historic streets amplify every bump and rattle, turning what should be a peaceful stroll into a noisy nuisance. To address this, Dubrovnik has decided to ban rolling suitcases within the city limits.

Nothing new Dalmatians, finding a way to squeeze turists.

they could have made night time ordinance, or pass the "fee" to yearly taxation for apartment owners as well, as they earn from that same noise.

old city are narrow streets with stairs, so no cars, beside probably city utilities vehicle on main plaza from time to time.

If the cars are already absent, then that’s fine. If there are still cars about, seems the rolling luggage isn’t the biggest nuisance by a couple orders of magnitude.

Old city is pedestrian zone, so only vehicles with special permit are allowed.

I think they should promote the delivery service but not ban the bags. Seems too heavy handed.

Click, click. Click, click. Don't blame them.

They’re lucky to live in a time where horses and donkeys are rare sights. And wagons with steel-brimmed wheels
