Top 5 Tips on What to Pack for Your European Adventure!
Hello, fellow adventurers! I’m Lindsey Schultz, one of your trusted travel advisors based in our Oshkosh office. While embarking on a European adventure is exhilarating, it’s the pre-trip puzzle of packing that often leaves many travelers feeling overwhelmed. If you’ve ever found yourself pondering the age-old question, ‘What should I pack?’—worry not! Join me as I unveil the essential five items that deserve a spot in your suitcase for your next trip to Europe!
1) Outlet adapters
Don’t forget that Europe has different outlets than ours! Also, keep in mind that different European countries require different adapters, make sure you have each type you need if you’re traveling to more than one country on your trip.
2) Money for bathrooms
The public bathrooms in Europe aren’t free! Make sure you carry around some Euros, British Pounds, or other European currency while out and about. Some restrooms accept credit cards but not all of them!
3) Comfortable walking shoes
Europe is known for being home to many cities with cobblestone streets & lots of stairs. To make sure you’re prepared to walk around all day, leave the heels at home and pack comfortable shoes to walk in.
4) Versatile clothing
Europe has a reputation for being very fashionable. Each country and region have their own style but one thing they all have in common is their lack of athleisure attire. Although you can wear whatever you are most comfortable in, we suggest maybe saving the sweatpants and leggings for the gym when packing.
5) Anti-pickpocket backpack or bag
Unfortunately, Europe also has a reputation for pickpocketing. To keep belongings safe, we strongly recommend purchasing an anti-pickpocketing backpack or bag. Never leave your belongings unattended and wear your bag or backpack at all times.
