Croatia travel warning as £230 fines brought in for breaking suitcase rule

Tourists visiting Croatia are being warned they could be fined hundreds of pounds if they fall foul of a new law. Wheelie suitcases have been banned in the popular city of Dubrovnik, visited by thousands of Brits every year.

The new law states suitcases must be carried and not dragged through the city's streets, with fines of £230 for those caught flouting the rule, Chronicle Live reports. The legislation is due to become more severe in November, when all suitcases and bags will have to be left at the walls of the old town before visitors can enter.

People with luggage who wish to enter the section of Dubrovnik will have to pay a courier to have their bags delivered to their accommodation by electric vehicle. The laws have been passed by Dubrovnik mayor Mato Franković, reports The Mirror.
