In this article, I will walk you through my full-proof Europe packing list to make sure that you don’t miss out on bringing anything important.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a European at heart, I do have an ingrained bias towards the continent in terms of travel, food, and general amazing-ness!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are going on a weekend away, backpacking your way across the continent, deciding what to pack can be different with so many different countries. To help you out, we\u2019ve compiled a packing list for Europe so you can choose what you need.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should I Pack for Europe?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What to pack for Europe largely depends on where you\u2019re going<\/strong>, what time of year you\u2019re visiting<\/strong>, and what you plan on doing<\/strong> while you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather in Europe greatly varies by season, as well as place. Countries along the coast tend to be cooler due to a constant sea breeze, while countries further inland is a little warmer. However, the weather tends to be similar to the U.S. with cold winters and warm summers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to be prepared for anything. Always bring along an umbrella and raincoat because showers will show up when you\u2019re least expecting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s so much to do and see in Europe that you\u2019ll probably end up walking a ton. Whether you\u2019re talking walking tours of cities or exploring towns on your own, be sure to pack a sturdy pair of walking shoes that you can wear comfortably throughout your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"packing<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

When packing for Europe, you don\u2019t need to bring your finest clothes but most people tend to dress nicely on a daily basis. A pair of jeans (or a sundress in the summer) will be just fine wherever you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, it\u2019s a good idea to do a little research on the places you\u2019ll be visiting before your trip so that you can get a good sense of the weather, customs and activities available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wherever your European travels take you, you\u2019re sure to have the trip of a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summer Packing List for Europe: Women\u2019s Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Summer in Europe lasts from June to August<\/strong> and generally tends to be comfortable, although some places will be much hotter than others. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may feel like you\u2019ll need a lot of clothes due to the range of countries and different temperatures but the trick is to layer. There will be plenty of laundry facilities along the way, so choose each item wisely so that what you pack will be suitable to wear throughout your trip.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key is to keep it simple and bring items which you can mix and match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the summer months, you don\u2019t really need much but do still bring a couple of thicker items in case it gets nippy. Obviously, if you\u2019re spending most of your time exploring islands rather than cities, reduce the number of tops and bring more swimwear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packing clothing for Europe shouldn\u2019t be a stressful experience. Always remember that less is more. Here are the items you should consider bringing along for a European summer holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter Packing List for Europe: Women\u2019s Clothing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winter in Europe is from December to February<\/strong> and can stretch into the spring months as well. It\u2019s typically pretty mild, but can definitely get quite chilly with harsh winds and the occasional snow.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One tip is to check the weather forecast before you go so that you have a sense of what the temperatures will be during your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When packing for the winter months, obviously you will have to take a little bit more. The key is to have really good high-quality base layers to keep you warm throughout the day. From there, you just wear the rest of your clothes in layers. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good coat and good thermals is all you really need! If you plan on going to places with a lot of snow, some waterproof boots are also recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pack these items and you\u2019ll stay toasty no matter where you plan on visiting. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll definitely want a coat<\/strong><\/a> during the winter in Europe. I personally always go for a packable down jacket<\/strong><\/a> that fits all of my layers underneath and compresses when not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there are so many different coat options, like this chic number<\/strong><\/a> or one with a (faux) fur hood<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whichever you choose, I recommend wearing your coat on the plane to save space in your luggage!<\/p>\n\n\n

A thermal base layer<\/strong><\/a> is one of the most important items you can pack for a winter European adventure. A good base layer should trap heat close to your body, while wicking moisture away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go for one made from wool<\/a> <\/strong>or fleece<\/a><\/strong> and you’ll be happy and warm all-day long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just stay away from cotton, which will absorb sweat and make you cold.<\/p>\n\n\n

Choosing the Right Travel Bag for Europe: Backpack vs Rolling Luggage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right travel bag is the first step to packing for any trip. The age old question is whether to go with a traditional suitcase with wheels or fit everything into a backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Answers (Our Top Recommendations):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backpack: Osprey Farpoint<\/a><\/strong>
Daypack: Nomatic Travel Pack<\/a><\/strong>
Suitcase: American Tourister Expandable Carry-On<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backpack<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

My preferred luggage is definitely a backpack because I find them to be much more practical for traveling, especially if you have lots of different places on your itinerary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, like anything, there are certain pros and cons to traveling with a backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros: <\/strong>Traveling with a backpack means having your hands free. This is especially useful for navigation, photo taking, and walking on cobblestone. It’s also easier to be in crowded places wearing a backpack than rolling a suitcase, especially on uneven streets. Finally, backpacks have tons of pockets and compartments, making for quick access instead of having to open everything up to find what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cons: <\/strong>Carrying all of your belongings on your back can be uncomfortable, especially if you’ve packed a lot and aren’t used to carrying a heavy pack. It can also be more challenging to fit everything you want to take in a backpack. Lastly, if your backpack isn’t the right size or fit, it can cause serious discomfort and even pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With so many different backpacks on the market, choosing the right one may be challenging for first-timers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a couple of my favorites that are practical for a Europe trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osprey Farpoint<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

This backpack is a super versatile piece of gear. While it may be a backpack, it opens up like a suitcase, making packing and finding your belongings super convenient and easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s also a good size, allowing you to fit everything you need without overpacking. Not only that, but it’s carry-on compatible! The Farpoint<\/strong><\/a> comes in different sizes and colors, making sure there’s something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rolling Luggage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you’re more of a traditionalist, you may want to stick with rolling luggage for your Europe trip. Rolling luggage in Europe is certainly more practical than other places in the world (especially Asia) but still has it’s downsides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some pros and cons to packing in a suitcase:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pros: <\/strong>You don’t have to carry everything on your back, meaning you may be able to pack more than you can in a backpack. A hard shell also means your belongings on the inside have more protection from outside forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cons: <\/strong>A lot of places in Europe have streets filled with cobblestones, making wheeling a suitcase challenging and impractical. Many places in Europe (hostels, train stations, etc) also may be lacking elevators, which means lugging your bulky suitcase up several flights of stairs. Lastly, you need to use your hands to wheel your suitcase, making navigation, picture-taking and other activities difficult while moving around with your bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A wheeled suitcase in Europe is best if you plan on taking lots of taxis to your accommodation and little public transportation. Going door-to-door with a wheeled suitcase will pose few problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some suitcases that I recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reyleo Hardside Luggage<\/a><\/strong><\/gwmw><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is a great roller suitcase<\/strong><\/a> for traveling anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hard shell makes sure your belongings are protected on the inside and the swiveling wheels make it convenient for navigating through transit stations and small streets. There’s even a charging port on the side for connecting a power bank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best of all, it’s expandable but still carry on size for sneaking in a couple extra outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n<\/path><\/svg><\/span>View on Amazon<\/gwmw><\/span><\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A nice hard side carry-on suitcase, this roller bag<\/strong><\/a> is small enough to bring on the airplane but large enough to fit everything you’ll need for a trip to Europe. It’s sturdy with nice wheels and even comes in 5 beautiful colors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter which bag you choose to take with you, I highly recommend using packing cubes<\/strong><\/a>. Packing with cubes will change your life and keep you more organized than ever before!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n<\/path><\/svg><\/span>View on Amazon<\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Daypack Picks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Besides your main travel bag, you’re also going to want to have a trusty lightweight daypack to keep your knick-knacks in while traveling and to take along on day trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nomatic Travel Pack<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

If you’re someone who carries a lot of gear (cameras, chargers, iPads), the Nomatic Bag<\/strong><\/a> is for you.

Packing for Europe: Essentials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The “essentials” will change depending on person, as business travelers may carry more gadgets than an average backpacker or holiday-maker for example. This list of essential travel accessories below is recommended for general travel. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may not need all of these items if you\u2019re planning on staying in nicer hotels, but if you\u2019re a budget traveler and staying in hostels, we would suggest bringing these items along.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Umbrella<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
