First… Some Quick Travel Tips For Europe

Research Your Specific Destinations: Not all European countries have the same weather and cultural norms. Check the weather forecast and cultural etiquette guides to make sure you’re packing appropriately for your destination. It’s always smart to have at least one long sleeve (something to cover up those shoulders) and a pair of long pants (to cover up those knees, plus it could get cold at nighttime).

Pack Light: European cities often have narrow streets and limited space, especially in the hotel rooms! Opt for versatile clothing items that can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits, and leave unnecessary one-and-done items at home.

Invest in Quality Luggage: Choose luggage that is durable and easy to maneuver, especially if you plan on navigating cobblestone streets or walking from train stations to your accommodation. Consider a travel backpack (or a suitcase with REALLY sturdy wheels because those cobblestones will batter your suitcase’s wheels).

Pack a Universal Travel Adapter: European countries typically use Type C or Type E/F electrical outlets. Invest in a universal travel adapter that can accommodate multiple plug types so you don’t have to worry at all about outlet types.

Pack Layers: European weather can be unpredictable, so layering is key. Bring lightweight, breathable fabrics that can be easily layered for warmth or tucked away in a backpack if it ends up getting hot during the day.

Choose Comfortable Shoes: European cities are best explored on foot, so comfortable walking shoes are essential! Opt for sturdy, supportive footwear that can withstand long days of sightseeing and navigating cobblestone streets.

Pack essentials in your carry-on because lost luggage is all too common these days: In case your checked luggage gets lost or delayed (this ACTUALLY happened to me on my flight from SF to Lisbon!), pack essential items such as medications, essential makeup, toiletries, a change of clothes (or at least a pair of undies/socks), and travel documents in your carry-on bag.

Be Mindful of Weight Restrictions: Many budget European airlines have strict weight restrictions for checked and carry-on luggage. You can always check the airline’s baggage policy before you pack to avoid excess baggage fees, but a good rule of thumb is to just pack lightly.

You can wash your clothes during your trip: If you’re traveling for an extended period, look for accommodations with laundry facilities or look for nearby laundromats. Packing lightweight, quick-drying clothing items can also help minimize the need for frequent laundry. Also as a side note, dryers are less commonly used in Europe compared to the USA.

Leave Room for Souvenirs! Leave some space in your luggage for souvenirs and gifts you may want to bring back from your trip. If you plan on going crazy with the souvenir shopping, packing a foldable tote or duffel bag so you can fit any extra items you buy during your travels.

👉 Pro Tip: I received a BYBBA Balos Tote as a Christmas present one year and it’s been my #1 travel sidekick ever since. I NEVER travel without it! The drawstring closure is the best thing ever. Things can’t fall out ever, which is great because totes love to topple over to their sides!

How To Pack For A Trip To Europe

Let’s talk about organizing your travel gear!

Before you even start packing, you’ll want to focus on the foundation of a well-organized trip: how you pack. The right bags, packing cubes, and organizational tools can make all the difference in keeping your belongings neat, accessible, and stress-free.

Imagine just throwing everything into a bag without any system—chaos, right? You’ll end up wasting time digging through your stuff, repacking constantly, and probably forgetting things along the way.

That’s where strategy comes in. By using the right travel bags (duffels vs. backpacks vs. suitcases) and organization tools (packing cubes, purses, sling bags, etc.), you can maximize space, keep similar items together, and make unpacking a breeze.

Trust me, a little organization goes a long way in making your travels smoother and more enjoyable.

Wheeled suitcase or travel backpack?

You’ve got two options here. Do you want to go with a wheeled suitcase or a travel backpack?

Wheeled suitcases are awesome in that they are pretty much weightless on your body, you just roll and go. BUT! In Europe, where cobblestones and stairs are abundant, this might not be the best option.

I made the mistake of bringing a rolling carry-on with me on my trip to Portugal one year. Never again. Rolling the suitcase in Lisbon was hard enough, but when we went from Lisbon to Evora for an overnight stay, I basically had to carry my suitcase in my arms for half a mile to get from the bus station to the hotel! It was a struggle!

The other option is a travel backpack. They can get heavy, but with adequate hip belts attached, they really aren’t bad at all! Travel packs are so convenient when it comes to hands-free commuting.

When you know cobblestoned roads are going to be in the picture, a travel backpack is what you want.

My top picks for both are:

Wheeled suitcase

I use my Monos Carry-On or my Paravel Aviator Carry-On Plus whenever I want something sturdier. Both are investments, but they’re roomy, sleek looking, and long-lasting as heck. Plus their warranties are top-notch so I won’t have to worry about buying a new suitcase for at least another 10 years.

Travel backpack

I love my Osprey Aura Backpack so much. It’s extremely comfortable because of its super intense hip belt (if you get it, you’ll see what I mean) and perfect for those warm travel days due to the ventilation technology. I actually went backpacking with this pack and can attest to its greatness. The comfort you get when walking long distances with it on is totally worth the investment.

With that said, I know not everyone wants to go for the ‘backpacker’ look. If you’re looking for something cuter/more minimalist that’s also gonna be high quality, here is a complete list of my favorite long-lasting suitcases and backpacks for travel.

Pro Tip: To be honest, I tend to forget about wheeled suitcases when planning trips to Europe, because I walk fast and oftentimes feel slowed down by them. Those wheels can only roll so fast! I’m all for the travel backpack if I know I’ll be doing a lot of moving around/changing hotels during a trip.

Packing cubes

Packing cubes are a game-changer when it comes to packing. They are amazing at creating space in your luggage that you never thought you had. No matter how you organize your clothes— by day, by outfit, by type—these will be the most useful thing you have in your packing artillery.

After testing out dozens of options for myself, the ones that I swear by now are the compressible packing cubes by Monos Travel. The quality of these cubes is next level. Honestly, I don’t think I can ever go back to the cheap ones after discovering these.

If those fall out of your budget: it seems they’ve recently made a Monos compression packing cube dupe.

Your everyday bag

When you’re out exploring Europe (or anywhere, really!), having the right bag is key to staying organized. You’ll want something practical and versatile to carry your everyday essentials, like a water bottle, snacks, sunscreen, and your camera.

Here are two great options:

A Mini Backpack: Perfect for hands-free exploring, a mini backpack is lightweight, comfortable, and can usually fit a water bottle, along with your other daily necessities. It’s a great choice for longer days of sightseeing. If you’re able to find a bag that folds flat so that you’re able to stow it in your larger travel bag, even better!

I have a couple of Fjallraven Mini Kankens that are great for travel.

A Crossbody Bag or Sling Bag: For days when you want a more low-profile look, a medium-sized crossbody bag is a stylish and practical alternative. Just make sure it’s spacious enough to hold your essentials—including a water bottle!

I like the BAGGU Nylon Crescent Bag or my trusty Bellroy Sling Bag for something simple and compressible, so when I’m not using it, I can flatten it and store it in my luggage.

What To Pack For Europe: Clothing

Tops

You really don’t need that many shirts, especially if the majority of them are versatile and come in simple colors, allowing them to be worn multiple ways. I had a few plain workout tops that didn’t have obnoxious logos on them, so I was able to wear them out as regular shirts as well. Go with a mix of sleeveless, sleeved, and longsleeved.

Depending on your itinerary, there may be instances where you’ll need to cover up your shoulders (cathedrals, churches, etc.). Depending on the season, there may also be instances where you’ll want to dress in layers.

Pants

Depending on how long you’re traveling for, bring 2-3 pairs at most.

In the spring, fall, or winter, you can bring 2 pairs of jeans (maybe a blue and black one). In the winter, some additional baselayers will keep you warm when you’re out and about. 

For summers, in the face of humidity, go with something loose and light (like a nice pair of loose linen pants) and a few pairs of shorts. Jeans can be way too hot for summer travel.

I actually brought jeans on my 3.5-month trip to Europe–my legs would almost immediately start sweating once I began walking! Needless to say, it was the least worn item in my wardrobe.

Shorts

I’ve seen a lot of blogs out there mentioning the taboo of shorts abroad. To be frank, I think that’s pretty outdated.

I’ve asked a lot of locals in many countries about this shorts controversy and they see no problem with it—I went to Europe with zero shorts and a few long dresses because of this notion. Once I got there, I saw SO many locals rocking shorts. So I bought some… because it was REALLY hot. Just don’t wear booty shorts and you won’t have a problem.

Bike Shorties

Bike shorts are great for a multitude of reasons. They can be worn under dresses or as a standalone bottom (especially great on transit/flying days).

Let me be the first to tell you about my newest discovery on how to keep my legs from becoming a huge sweaty mess in hot weather… I love Thigh Society’s shorties for summer travel!

There are two different options I like depending on what look I’m going for. If I want to wear an above-the-knee dress on a hot day, I go with The Cooling 5″ option. It’s so thin, meaning “sweaty butt” won’t be an issue.

And they’re especially useful if it happens to be a windy day. These lil’ shorties make me feel so much more comfortable knowing that I have an extra layer of protection and coverage should the wind decide to do me dirty and lift my dress in one swoop.

The other type of bike shorts I love are the ones by Beyond Yoga. They have become a staple in my travel arsenal too. They’re super-versatile because these guys are very opaque, meaning they can be worn alone (for runs, yoga, on the plane, even out exploring).

Leggings

As a very active person, I love workout leggings and can’t take any trip without at least one pair.

If you plan on working out or going for a morning jog during your trip, bring two pairs: one for physical activity and an extra pair for lounging.

I’ll usually bring both of my trusty Lululemon leggings on trips: the Fast and Free leggings (a thinner pant with side pockets) and the Wunder Train High-Rise Tights (slightly thicker, also has pockets).

The pockets are a must — I love that I can actually be hands-free with leggings! The pockets are big enough for things like my phone, credit cards, hotel key, chapstick, etc.

Dresses

If you’re heading to Europe in the summer season, dresses are called for! Long or flowy dresses/skirts are really good for days when you plan on visiting places like cathedrals (no bare shoulders or exposed knees, so come prepared). If your knees are showing slightly, it’s usually not as big of a deal as bare shoulders!

Aim for at least one of the dresses to be appropriate for both daytime and evening looks (good for nightlife).

Underwear and socks

Bring up to 7 pairs of each. If your trip goes on for longer than that, just find a washing machine or laundromat whenever you can.

Bras

Depending on your activity level, 2-3 will do. The same goes for these, wash them when you can instead of bringing too many. Because I’m pretty active, I typically bring 1 regular bra and 2 sports bras.

Shoes

Bring one or two pairs of comfortable walking shoes with good support and traction. I usually go with one pair of sneakers (gives you the ability to go for a run in the morning and then walk all day in them) and another pair of ‘cuter’ walking shoes when I want to dress up a bit more.

My all-time favorite travel shoes these days are the tried and true Ecco Soft 7 (they’re stylish, comfortable, and have been raved about for decades since they were first created)! They are perfect for instances when I want to avoid that tennis shoe look–like when I’m wearing a dress or plan on going out for some nightlife. They have them for both men and women.

If you don’t think you’ll need a pair of sneakers/running shoes, consider sandals or something more breathable in summer. I alternate between my Birkenstocks and Ilse Jacobson Hornbaek slip-ons — both allow you to walk miles and miles.

During my trip to Europe, I was averaging 8-9 miles in both of these with zero pain or blistering!

A cheap pair of flip-flops are also handy to have if you’ll be using shared bathrooms or plan on going to the beach.

A light sweater or cardigan

For those unsuspectingly chilly flights/train rides, brisk mornings, or cool nights, it’s best to have a light and versatile cardigan with you. Especially if you run cold! That way, you won’t need to buy anything in case of an emergency.

Preferably a dark-colored one so it can be worn on multiple occasions.

Light travel-friendly jacket

Ideally, this jacket will be a lightweight, water-resistant, windbreaker. You’ll be walking around a lot, the last thing you want is to be lugging around a jacket that you may or may not wear.

Consider a packable light rain jacket if there’s rain in the forecast. 

A puffy jacket is another good option if rain is very unlikely on your trip. They aren’t the cutest, but I love how they can pack up into virtually nothing! You have a lot of options here, but I personally have the Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket, and it’s kept me warm throughout my many years of adventuring!

Shawl or scarf

One of my must-haves! I’ll always have a medium-sized thin scarf in my bag. Not only can you use them for warmth or style, you can use them as a coverup in churches and other sensible places, as a towel, as a mat on grass/sand/dirt, as a quick rain shield, or as an emergency skirt if your bottoms get stained or soaked somehow.

Swimsuit

Usually only useful in the summer if you’ll have access to pools or know you’re going to be doing water activities.

Since I knew I was going to be beaching a lot in Barcelona and Croatia (and enjoying thermal pools in Budapest!), I actually brought 2 and alternated between them.

Sleepwear/loungewear

Yoga pants and a t-shirt or workout clothes are all you need here. Save luggage space; these items can be used as pajamas, loungewear, and airplane/road trip outfits.

What To Pack For Europe: Accessories

Sunglasses

Because it can get really bright during sunny European afternoons. If you’re in the market for a new pair, I personally really like the retro designs by I-SEA. They’ll go so well with your cute vacay outfits.

Sun hat

When exploring Europe, a travel-friendly sunhat is your best bet for sun protection on-the-go. Unlike those cute but bulky straw hats you see people wearing on vacay, a roll-up sunhat or a packable bucket hat can easily be stuffed into your bag when you’re not wearing it, saving you the hassle of carrying it around.

Straw hats, while stylish, can be impractical for travel—if you’re not wearing it, you’ll have to hold it in your hand, which can get annoying quickly.

Jewelry

Totally optional. I tend to skip jewelry on most days (even if I’ve packed it) because either it’s too hot/humid to want to deal with something sticking all over my neck, or I just forget to wear it.

If you have fancy jewelry, it’s better to leave it at home. I’ve heard that many pick-pocketers in the bigger cities will either go for the wallet, the phone, or even yank chains off of people’s necks on public transportation.

Not trying to scare you, but it’s better to err on the side of caution when it comes to jewelry.

What To Pack For Europe: Toiletries

TSA-approved squeeze bottles

GoToob travel bottles are my favorite thing ever. Made of high-quality silicone, they are extremely durable, have never leaked on me, and are super easy to squeeze.

For something bougier, check out the leakproof Cadence capsules. They don’t come cheap, but it’s been years and mine are still going strong.

Hand cream, body lotion, face masks

After spending 3.5 months in Europe, the one thing I regretted most was not being ready for dry skin. Learn from my mistake–bring things to rehydrate your skin after all the sun exposure and handwashing!

I didn’t bring any of these items with me because I didn’t want to carry ‘luxury’ items and I ended up being pretty annoyingly dry. Halfway through the trip, I just had to buy some.

Face moisturizer with SPF

You’ll be out in the sun all day. Save yourself face from dryness and premature aging/ sunburns.

Sunscreen

Sunscreen is absolutely necessary. Even if it’s overcast or cloudy, the UV index can be very high, so be sure to apply whenever you’re outdoors.

No matter where I go, I try to use a reef-safe mineral sunscreen, as traditional sunscreens contain chemicals that damage our environment (plus there’s science behind them not being too good for our bodies either).

For the face, I’ve been absolutely obsessed with the magical Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen, but once that’s all used up, I’m making a conscious effort to switch to a mineral face sunscreen too. Don’t forget to pack that hat!

After-sun lotion

This probably only applies if you’re headed to a beachy destination in Europe in the summer.

After every day out under the sun, please replenish your skin and show it some love! Bring along something like B.Tan’s after-sun lotion and aloe, the perfect way to maintain that summer glow while also repairing dry and potentially sunburned skin.

I like this brand over a lot of others because it’s sustainably created in Australia (vegan, cruelty-free, no added nasties)! 

Shower supplies 

Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial cleanser, shaver, etc.

Dental care supplies

Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash. You’ll likely be eating a ton in Europe, so come prepared with your best dental hygiene game.

If you don’t floss, you need to! If you haven’t heard of Cocofloss, now you have. This was the only kind of floss to get me to start flossing on a daily basis. YOU ARE WELCOME.

Because I hate the feeling of food in my teeth, I actually go one step further and bring along my travel-friendly quip Water Flosser. This thing gets tons of particles out of my teeth after every meal, it’s crazy!

Deodorant

If necessary. I don’t really emit body odor, so I didn’t need this– less weight to carry!

Makeup

Some girls have a huge collection of makeup at home. Bring only what you need to save on luggage space. You probably won’t need that green eyeshadow or glitter eyeliner for your trip!

Since I travel so much, I only ever buy travel-sized makeup products so that everything’s small and packable.

Dry shampoo

I tried not to wash my hair every day, but at the same time, Europe was really hot and muggy. Dry shampoo came in handy very frequently.

To prevent greasiness and questionable head smells, use some dry shampoo and you’ll be good as new. I like this dry shampoo by amika.

DIY survival kit

Make a little bag of the following: ibuprofen, allergy pills, Immodium, ciprofloxacin (or whatever your doctor prescribes for traveler’s diarrhea), band-aids, floss, hand sanitizer, eye drops, lip balm, a sharpie, pen, tape, and extra contact lenses (if applicable).

Think about the ailments you typically suffer from and have to deal with on a regular basis and adjust the contents of the bag as needed.

Extra plastic baggies

Or the ones you get at the supermarket in the fruit/produce section. Because you never know, but they always come in handy.

Tissue

Sometimes, your hands get dirty. Sometimes, there’s no toilet paper in the public bathrooms.

Laundry soap

Bring a super-concentrated travel soap so you can do your own laundry at your accommodation rather than spending $10-$15 each time you need to wash a load.

Bringing a portable clothesline can also be pretty useful. In a pinch, I’ll just hang my wet clothes on anything I can find around the room (even lamps.. heh heh).

👉 Doing laundry in Europe: Self-service washing machines are few and far between in European hotels. You are better off doing your laundry in the hotel sink, or finding a laundromat nearby. It takes about an hour and $10–15 USD to wash and dry an average-size load. If you’ve got the budget for it, see if there is a place that will wash, dry, and fold your laundry.

Quick-drying camp towel

If you’re going to be staying in hostels, some don’t provide towels, or they’ll have used ones available for rent. Camp towels are light, travel-friendly, and quick-drying. They’re also useful if you plan on having beach days but don’t have access to a beach towel. 

Eye mask + ear plugs

Amazing for plane use and hostel/shared rooms where the beds aren’t separated by curtains.

First, let’s talk about the eye mask. People being able to see your sleepy little eyes? A bit awkward. You need an eye mask. There are crappy eye masks that push into your eyeballs (not good), and then REALLY good eye masks.

I’m on the really good eye mask train. The 100% blackout + no eye pressure eye mask by Ostrichpillow is amazing. Plus, it has velcro on the back for an adjustable fit, meaning it’ll fit around everyone’s head! I’ll never go back to a lame eye mask ever again.

Now, onto earplugs. There is a good chance there will be families traveling by plane with young children and/or babies. A very good chance. I would highly recommend bringing earplugs or headphones for your plane rides to drown out any potential crying babies! 

They’re also very much necessary if you’re going to be staying in shared rooms. Bring multiple pairs with you, because it’s so easy to lose these bad boys in your sleep. These #1 doctor-recommended earplugs by Mack’s are my absolute favorite!

You could also go high-tech with your earplugs with the Loop Quiet Ear Plugs.

What To Pack For Europe: Electronics

External power bank

Crucial, especially if you’re going to be out all day exploring and using your phone for Google Maps and such. You probably have one lying around at home, but does it still even charge?

I’ve recently upgraded to this ultra-light and portable MagGo power bank by Anker. These days, I never embark on a day of exploration without it.

Noise-canceling headphones

Always good to be able to get into the zone and tune people out. Not to mention, you can use them to watch Netflix all night in your hostel room or on the plane without disturbing anyone.

Travel adapter

Necessary if you’re traveling from North America or other countries that don’t use European outlet configs. This one here is affordable, tried, and trusted. It allows for a normal plug and has two additional USB ports. Plus, it works anywhere in the world!

Chargers

Bring multiple phone cords since they are light (and easy to misplace).

---

What To Pack For Europe: Documents

Travel belt/money belt

The ultimate thief proof belt! I used a Flip Belt when I went out exploring, which doubled as my running belt. I swear, this thing doesn’t budge or jiggle at all when you run, plus it’s super comfortable!

Plus, whenever I solo travel to places where I can’t always be with my bag (the beach, amusement parks, museums that require you to check your backpacks, etc) my Flip Belt is where I stow all my valuables so I can keep them with me.

Money

I’ll usually pack some cash in my home currency for emergencies. Once I arrive, I’ll hit the local ATM to withdraw any other foreign currency I need.

Tickets and travel documents

Passport, student ID, medical card, proof of travel insurance, printed documents of your flight/hotel bookings, visas if you need them.

Travel cards

Credit cards, debit cards, airport lounge access cards, visas, etc.

---

What To Pack For Europe: Other Travel Essentials

Travel pillow

This one by Turtl is THE one! It comes highly rated because it has so much support, almost like a neck brace (there’s a chunk of flexible plastic in there to prop your head up). It’s warm and super packable too. My Turtl has lasted me 8+ years so far (and it’s still going strong)!

Water bottle

Go with a collapsable one if you find traditional bottles to be too bulky. To this day, Hydroflasks are still my favorite for airplane / in-hotel use, though I do find them to be a bit too tall/bulky for city exploration.

Foldable tote bag 

Great for doing groceries, holding all your extra souvenirs/purchased items, or carrying your belongings in a pinch. Again, I travel absolutely everywhere with my BYBBA Balos Tote (which has a handy dandy drawstring!). It’s an investment, but you’ll never need to buy another tote bag ever again.

Laundry bag

Keep your worn clothes separate from your clean ones with a dedicated laundry bag, especially when traveling to high-humidity places such as the EU. When it’s humid, you’ll just be sticky all day and all that stickiness will transfer to your clothes. In either case, you will inevitably have dirty socks and undies to toss in here.

Small lock

If you’re staying in hostels, you may need to provide your own lock for the lockers. Otherwise, this can be used on your luggage bag when you’re traveling and checking your luggage.

Massage Ball 

One of the best things in my bag, hands down. Roll your legs, upper back, and under your feet whenever you have downtime to undo that tension and soreness you’ve built up over the course of the day. Check out this one.

Electrolyte Packets

Emergen-C packets or LMNT electrolyte packets are a must for travel. We like Emergen-C for immunity and LMNT for replenishing all the electrolytes we sweat out (without all the added sugars that come in stuff like Liquid IV).

These items are a great way to support your immune system and overall health on a trip. They are light, take up no space, and are very easy to pack!

Bladeless Neck Fan

If you do very poorly in high-humidity destinations, this one is for you. If you can’t stand the feeling of stifling, breezeless air, do NOT forget to pack a portable neck fan!

A constant breeze makes all the difference and will allow you to stay comfortable being outside in the heat for hours on end. I personally own this bladeless neck fan and love it!
