I’ve spent summers in Germany where the weather reached 38 C (100 F) and the next summer, it got a bit chilly. The problem with packing for northern Europe is that the weather is super unpredictable.
Extra: If you are headed to countries in the north, I recommend adding to your list two long-sleeve shirts and a light jacket. A day bag is a small backpack you can use to go out and about exploring, or simply to put your most important stuff in when traveling. I travel with a 20-liter backpack from Quechua (I love their products and have been using them for three years). 
They aren’t meant for walking long distances, but they are perfect for showering at hostels.
I love the Sidekicks Foldable Flip Flops because they are foldable and they don’t take up much space in my luggage. These are useful for hostel showers or questionable hotels. Aside from that, they can act as pillows for plane/train/bus journeys. They can also be used to cover your arms if the weather gets a bit chilly or in the case you want to enter a church. They are a great accessory to add a bit of style to your outfits. I like pashminas because they have so many uses and take almost no space. For nights out, I like packing either flats or a pair of chic ankle boots with a small heel. I don’t usually bring fancy shoes when I travel, but in Europe, there is a bit more pressure to dress nicely. I always bring white sneakers like these Toms because they are always trendy and go with any outfit (even dresses). There are so many cobblestone streets in Europe that heels are just a waste of time and energy. Wear them on the plane so they don’t take up space in your luggage.
1 pair of sandals (preferably nude so they match with everything). The same habit should be applied while traveling.įollow me on Instagram for travel inspiration, tips, and more! Here’s my carry-on packing list for Europe in Summer: Clothes + Accessories You probably repeat outfits or mix and match items. You don’t wear a different outfit every day of your life, do you? Nope. My mantra is that dressing for travel should be the same as dressing at home. Packing for a one-week trip should be the same than for longer trips, because 1) If you forget something, you can buy it anywhere and 2) You can wash your clothes (I recently wrote a post with six ways to do laundry while traveling if you want to check that out!) I’ve traveled for three years using just a carry-on and honestly? I never lacked anything. I can’t stress enough that carry-on packing is possible regardless of the length of your trip. 
This carry-on packing list for Europe in summer works for short and long trips! Carrying huge luggage equals getting dragged down by the weight. Traveling with little luggage means being able to take public transport to the airport/train station instead of sticking to expensive taxis.
You’ll save money and avoid headaches. If you pack carry-on only, you can rest assured that all your stuff is safe with you. Airlines lose stuff, and that could be your checked luggage. By packing a carry-on, you avoid these fees and you’ll get to your next destination for almost nothing. The way budget airlines make money is by charging for extras, and that includes checked luggage. It sounds too good to be true, and that’s because it is. I once scored a return ticket from Germany to Morocco for $25 (both ways), and several out of London to Eastern Europe for like, $30. It’s nothing luxurious, but it gets you there with enough comfort. It can be really cheap to get around in Europe using budget airlines. Budget airlines in Europe charge for checked luggage. I love being a carry-on packer when I travel in Europe and I don’t really intend on going back. With that said, I thought I’d jump in to make your life a little bit easier by compiling a packing list for you so you can spend the time doing what really matters: actually planning your adventure in Europe!ĭid I mention it’s a carry-on only packing list? I’ll show you how I pack for most of my trips, including tricks on how you can take EVERYTHING you need to pack for a summer in Europe in just a carry-on. I bet you’re tirelessly planning your summer trip to Europe now and feeling a bit overwhelmed planning your itinerary trying to pick the things you want to do (because there is SO much do here that choosing is kind of impossible).
