Many people asked, “What To Take To Europe?” so I put up this comprehensive Europe packing list.
Season, travel style, and geography all influence what to bring to Europe, but the items listed here will be beneficial on almost any trip.
So, where should you begin? Here’s everything you’ll need to pack for a vacation to Europe, from what to wear in Europe to gadgets and medical necessities.
Clothing
From Scandinavia’s minimalist attire to the exquisite style of the Mediterranean, Europe has a reputation for being stylish. While you don’t have to go around in exquisite couture every day, you certainly shouldn’t dress shabbily or in gym clothes every day. Choose casual yet polished options if you want to blend in and feel at ease. So, how do you dress when you’re in Europe?
In general, choose layers that may easily transition from day to tonight. For example, during the day, you can dress down with dark wash jeans, a light t-shirt, and shoes, then dress up with a great jacket, accessories, and sandals at night. Alternatively, choose easy-to-dress-up or-down trousers, dresses, or skirts. Of course, what you wear in Europe will vary based on the season (it can range from scorching hot summers to bitterly cold winters), but whatever the season, try to pack light and layer in layers that you can mix and match.
Shoes
When planning a trip to Europe, the primary consideration is comfort, even if you wish to mix in with the trendy locals. Because you’ll be walking a lot, often on bumpy cobblestone streets or up slopes, you’ll need a pair of comfy shoes to get you through your journey.
It might be sneakers or durable sandals depending on the weather, or hiking boots if you want to visit the Alps. Sandals or flip-flops are also useful for sitting by the pool or on the beach. To avoid painful blisters, make sure you break in any shoes you bring before you depart.
Accessories
When you just have a few outfit options, accessories are a terrific way to spice things up. You can accessorize with light, colorful scarves, hair ties, hats, and sunglasses, or add a pop of color with earrings, necklaces, bracelets, or even belts (don’t bring anything too expensive).
Sun Protection
Whether you’re visiting Europe in the summer, winter, or somewhere in between, you should always have sun protection. Bring a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of sunscreen with a high SPF.
Rain Protection
When planning a trip to Europe, remember to factor in the possibility of rain. Bring a raincoat, tiny travel umbrella, or rain poncho with you in any season.
Day Bags
When arranging your trip to Europe, you’ll most likely want to devote the majority of your days to sightseeing and various activities. You’ll need a safe bag to contain all of your daily essentials, such as your water bottle, sunscreen, and camera because you’ll be out and about so often. Make sure your backpack or cross-body bag is lightweight, waterproof, theft-proof, and has a lot of pockets. You might want to bring a smaller bag or handbag for the evenings.
Toilet Kit
It’s up to you how you use your toilet kit, but always recommend pouring moisturiser and shampoo, reusable travel bottles to conserve space and reduce waste. Solid products, like as soap, shampoo, deodorant bars amd moisturiser, and toothpaste tabs, are a good alternative to bringing a bunch of liquids (which always tend to erupt in your backpack). Bringing a hanging toiletry bag to make things simpler to reach in the bathroom is also a good idea.
Medical Kit
While you can typically find all things you need them once you reach, bringing a modest medical kit with you on a trip to Europe is always a good idea. To begin, pack any prescription medications you’ll need and bring enough for the duration of your trip.
Hand sanitizer, pain relievers, electrolytes, bandaids, and antiseptic ointment, eye drops, bug repellant, and travel sickness medications are all useful supplies. Bring earplugs and an eye mask if you have trouble sleeping. If you need specific travel health advice for your trip, visit your doctor.
Recyclable Water Bottle
By carrying your own reusable water bottle, you can help minimize plastic waste and save money. You can refill it in places where tap water is safe to drink, use filtered water at your hotel, or refill it at drinking fountains and refill stations all around Europe.
Travel Adaptor
When it comes to devices, a travel adaptor is a must-have. Before you travel, double-check the plug type and voltage of the destination you’ll be visiting, or bring a universal travel adaptor if you’ll be visiting various countries with different plug kinds.
A power strip comes in useful if you have a lot of electronics or if you’re traveling with others. You can charge everything at the same time, and if your room just has one outlet, you won’t have to argue over who gets to use it first!
Smartphone Or Camera
When planning a trip to Europe, this is one of the most important things to remember. You’ll want to shoot hundreds of gorgeous images on your Europe vacation, from iconic sights like the Eiffel Tower and the Colosseum to magical landscapes like the Swiss Alps and the Amalfi Coast. Make sure you have extra memory cards, chargers, and waterproof cases whether you’re using your smartphone camera or bringing a separate SLR camera.
Sealable Bags
Bringing a couple of waterproof, sealable bags is always a smart idea. They can be little dry bags or toiletry bags, and they’re ideal for carrying damp clothes, spill-proof liquid containers, and valuables such as your passport, cash, or phone.
Important Documents
You will almost certainly not leave home without crucial documents such as:
Passport and Visa (Copies Also)
Travel Insurance
Tickets
Local Emergency Numbers
