Are cars banned already?
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.
