Packing for a city break abroad

Whether you’re a newbie to city breaks abroad or are keen to see how to pack everything that little bit lighter, we’ve got the tips for you.

Bring a carry on suitcase only - When it comes to a city break, often enough you only go for a short amount of time and that means you won’t need as much luggage as a week-long vacation. With that in mind, bring a carry on suitcase only. This will save you money and time when you arrive at the airport as you won’t have to check in or pay any additional baggage fees. Plus, cabin cases are bigger than you think.

Roll up your clothes - Packing smartly is the best way to do it. Roll up your clothing to fit more pieces in the suitcase, put your socks in shoes and wear your heaviest items there.

Bring an extension lead - A very useful tip when going away to a new city is bringing an extension lead. Many hotel rooms and apartments don’t have loads of plug space, so if you have an extension lead to hand, you’ll have more than enough space to plug in your electricals.

Buy minis - When you travel cabin luggage only, you’re limited to liquids in 100ml bottles. Although this can be annoying, there are ways to get around it. Plenty of stores sell mini versions of your favorite products and if not you can easily find small containers to put them in.

Bring versatile clothing - During the packing process, try and roughly plan your outfits and pick versatile clothing. We’re talking about suitable layers, something waterproof and something warm just in case. It obviously all depends on where you’re going and the city’s climate.
