But as annoying as the sound might be, European wheeled suitcase bans—for better or worse—are only the stuff of fiction.  These online rumors are hardly new—unfounded claims of European bans on wheeled luggage have been circulating for nearly 10 years. Back in 2014, it was rumored that Venice would soon begin charging tourists a hefty $620 fine for dragging their suitcases through the Italian city’s historic alleys and city squares; however, city officials swiftly denied that such a law would…
