Ultimate Minimalist Packing List For Travel to Germany & Europe (2-Week Packing List)

Wondering if carry-on only packing is for you? Not sure how much is too much to take on your trip to Germany? Here are some tips and tricks on how to pack light for your next trip.

berlin airport

As you’re planning your first or next vacation to Germany or different countries around Europe, you’ve probably already thought: what should I pack? How much luggage should I bring? Carry-on or checked luggage? Suitcase or backpack?

It’s easy to get carried away and list aaaaaaall of the clothes you just have to bring or all the “just in case” back-up items you’re convinced you’ll need, whether on a 10-day vacation or during long-term travel of weeks or even months.

But how much do you really need to bring?

Join our FREE Germany Trip Planning Facebook Group!

The short answer? Much less than you think!

We’re here to present an alternative travel style with tons of benefits in the long run: minimalist packing.

After completely overpacking (and quickly regretting it) when I was first traveling around Germany and Europe in my teens, I quickly converted to being a minimalist packer.

Aaron is too, and so in the 25+ years that he and I have been traveling together, we nearly always travel carry-on only. On some trips we’ve added a small carry-on sized suitcase so we can check liquids or bring specific items home in but we even try to avoid that, if possible! You might already be familiar with the minimalist packing approach with the rise in popularity of digital nomads traveling the world who often travel with just a backpack or a carry-on sized suitcase, but it’s something that any type of traveler or vacationer can achieve – and benefit from.

The first step in becoming a minimalist traveler is all about learning and understanding the mindset behind the approach — and all the advantages. We’ll get to that in just a bit.

Then comes the fun part of deciding what bag to bring, what items go on your packing list, and to leave behind.

While it seems like a lot of preparation goes into minimalist packing, it pays off 10-fold once your trip starts. And if you think of it like a puzzle, it’s actually a fun process!

(For inspiration, check out our Germany packing guide , where I show you in more detail the gear and specific items we take on our trips around the world (we don’t always take everything on that list on every trip). And we include a packing list in our Germany Trip Planner that you can use. )

From what kind of bag will suit you most to putting together your ultimate minimalist travel packing list, this article will show you everything you need to know about minimalist packing!

What is Minimalist Packing for Travel?

Minimalism has taken the world by storm over the past few years. Many people are seeing the value of owning less and realizing how excessive consumption can actually bring unnecessary stress into your life. Trends like extreme decluttering and even moving to tiny homes have been adopted by all sorts of people looking for a lifestyle change.

Minimalism has made its way to travel too. When it comes to traveling, the minimalist approach is all about packing thoughtfully and efficiently.

Just to be clear we’re not talking about ultralight travel and bringing less stuff just to leave a lot of space in your suitcase. Minimalist packing is more about being intentional with the things you pack. It’s about making sure that every item you bring has purpose and brings value to your trip.

And YOU are the one who decides what minimalist packing looks like for you.

Minimalist packing has the end goal of making travel less stressful. If you learn how to pack light you can spend less time worrying about baggage fees, lugging heavy suitcases over cobblestone streets, dragging heavy bags up and down stairs, and worrying about losing your items — which makes it easier to actually enjoy your vacation!

Why Take a Minimalist Approach For Vacation Travel?

There are so many reasons to adopt the habits of a minimalist packer.

To start off, when checking in for your flight, going through airport security, and then boarding your flight, you won’t have to worry about exceeding the baggage weight or size limit. We all know how those extra luggage fees can add up, especially if you’re traveling with multiple suitcases or multiple family members.

Years ago we used to be able to check a bag a little (or a lot) over the weight limit with minimal concern but things have gotten much stricter and much more expensive if you do go over. And having big, heavy bags can also mean having a hard time finding overhead space on the plane, adding unnecessary stress to your long flights.

If you pack minimally and go carry-on only, going through check-in and TSA is a breeze since you’re less likely to experience any delays or long lines waiting to check your bags.

The same will be true while moving around cities after arriving in Germany. You’ll be able to walk longer distances with more ease and less discomfort (like from the train station to your hotel) and hop on any type of public transportation without scrambling for all of your belongings or mowing people down when you board a bus.

Being able to maneuver easily with your luggage is one of the best things you can do as a traveler, especially in touristy destinations. Moving around with bulky bags can make it harder for you to keep track of all your items and it’s uncomfortable for you and annoying for locals. It can also draw unwanted attention to pickpockets and thieves who target unaware tourists.

Keep in mind that if you’re visiting multiple cities in Germany or are traveling elsewhere in Europe, you’ll likely take a lot of public transportation. And it’s you who will be carrying your luggage everywhere you go, not anyone else!

Even if you rent a car and only need to carry your luggage from the car to your hotel and back, if you bring too much luggage, you might not be able to fit it all in the rental car!

Picture yourself boarding trains, getting on a bus, climbing up stairs or escalators at a metro station, making your way through cobblestone streets, and then up a couple flights of stairs to your hotel or AirBnB. Do you want to be doing all of that with a heavy backpack or multiple big suitcases? I’m sure the answer is no!

Besides the benefit of ease of movement, packing light ensures that you bring only what you actually need and will wear. You won’t wasted valuable time each day digging around your backpack or suitcase full of clothes (many of which you never end up wearing) just to find that one thing you swore you packed.

By taking a more minimal approach, you’ll have a clear inventory of everything you’ve brought so you can dress quickly each morning, stay organized, and avoid misplacing and losing things along your trip.

Doesn’t this all sound great? Well, then keep reading to get started on the minimalist approach to packing for travel to Germany!

suitcase and backpack

Minimalist Packing: Suitcase or a Backpack?

One of the first things to consider is what kind of travel bag will be a good fit for your personal preferences and travel destinations. There are many kinds of carry-on bags to choose from but we recommend considering a carry-on size suitcase or a travel backpack.

Suitcase : Pros & Cons

Most people immediately assume they’ll bring a suitcase. If that’s you, we highly recommend a carry-on sized spinner type 4-wheeled suitcase. You can’t really go wrong with this classic choice, especially if you’ll be staying in hotels with elevators or just a few flights of stairs.

A spinner suitcase is a good option if you won’t need to do a huge amount of walking with your suitcase outside of the airport. If you plan to take mostly taxis to and from the airport or between the train station and your hotel, a rolling suitcase can be a great choice.

The downside to suitcases is that they can be difficult to maneuver over cobblestoned streets and up and down stairs in metro stations and hotels. They also require that one hand be occupied at all times and the bigger and heavier they are, the more uncomfortable (or even painful) they can be to drag behind you.

We have a carry-on spinner suitcase (see photos above) — and we love it! I use it more than Aaron does, most often in the US when I’m just pulling it through the airport to a car. That said, I have used it on 2 recent trips to Germany — one where we rented a car and one where I spent 2 weeks in just 2 cities and only took 1 train with the suitcase. So I didn’t need to pull it over blocks of cobblestoned streets or carry it up and down many flights of stairs or on and off a bunch of trains.

travel backpack

Travel Backpacks : Pros & Cons

We also each have a carry-on size travel backpack that we use frequently on trips abroad. Backpacks are ideal if you like to have your hands free and just like being more nimble. They’re also great for any trips in nature, where sidewalks or paved roads may not be as ubiquitous since it’ll be hard to lug a wheeled suitcase around in that situation.

Even if you’re traveling around cities, backpacks are great because they give you more ease of movement. One of the best travel backpacks I’ve ever had is from the brand Eagle Creek. They are highly-praised for their comfort and quality. I STILL use my nearly 15-year old Eagle Creek backpack! Osprey also makes excellent travel backpacks.

When I get a new travel backpack I’ll most likely get an Osprey because I like how well they integrate the removable day pack using a zipper and compression straps. We’ve been looking at them a lot lately and I’ve heard so many excellent reviews from friends about their packs.

While I love using my travel backpack, there are a few downsides to consider. One is that you always have to carry it, and if you end up standing for long periods of time (like waiting to go through airport security or for a train or bus) it can be uncomfortable wearing a pack the whole time.

Likewise, when it’s hot outside, wearing a backpack will make your back very sweaty and uncomfortable. And, if you don’t pack it well, it can be uncomfortable to wear. For us, however, the benefits outweigh the downsides (most of the time).

What to Pack In Your Main Bag For 2 Weeks

Before you get carried away and pack clothes for each day of your trip, we suggest putting together a capsule wardrobe. A capsule wardrobe is essentially a small collection of pieces of clothing that you can mix and match with one another to create lots of different outfits. 

There isn’t really a set number or style of clothing items that should be part of your capsule wardrobe. But remember the point of having a minimalist travel wardrobe is that you’ll only bring clothing that you love wearing and that are versatile enough for different occasions. 

In general, think 4-6 casual t-shirts, 1-2 formal shirts or blouses, 2-4 pairs of pants, skirts or dresses that can be easily dressed up or down, and outerwear depending on your destination’s climate.

Don’t forget the essentials like a set of pajamas, 6-7 pairs of underwear, and 6-7 pairs of socks (or 2-3 if not for everyday wear). You can pack more or less depending on how much time you’ll be traveling and how often you’ll be able to (or want to) do laundry – but don’t overpack! We typically pack the same amount of clothing for a 1 week trip as for a 6+ weeks.

For footwear, stick to bringing 2 pairs of shoes at most. One pair should be for walking and everyday wear, like comfortable sneakers. The other can be something dressier like flats, loafers or sandals.  

carry-on suitcase

Winter & Summer Packing

If you’re going to Germany during the winter, then your capsule wardrobe might look different. For example, a high-quality jacket or coat and boots are a must. Other accessories like tights or a pair of leggings, scarf, gloves, and beanies are also something you’ll probably want to add.

On the other hand if you’re traveling during summer, then lighter clothes like tank tops, shorts, a pair of flip flops, a sun hat, and a bathing suit are must-haves. 

As you can see, you can customize your capsule wardrobe as much as you want. To help you put together a list, keep in mind different factors like your personal style, your favorite colors to wear, the climate at your destination, the activities you’ll be doing on your trip, what packs, wears and washes well, and what can be layered and easily mixed and matched.

What About Toiletries?

For toiletries, we recommend limiting them to only essential items like a toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, body wash, a hairbrush, basic make-up, etc. As much as possible, bring miniatures or travel sized toiletries that can fit in one TSA-approved pouch for easy organization. Remember, if you need more, you can always buy what you need in Germany.

What Kind of Day Bag to Use

In addition to your main bag, we recommend also having a small bag as your personal item for the plane and that you can use as a day bag while in Germany. This could be a small backpack, a cross-body bag, or travel purse .

Aaron typically uses a small backpack and I use either a small backpack, a cross-body bag or purse. Whatever you choose, try it out before you leave so you’re sure it’s comfortable to carry with you all day!

What to Pack In Your Day Bag

Whether you use a backpack, cross-body bag or purse, it’s crucial that you find one that’s the perfect size for your needs and that you love wearing. After all, you’ll be carrying this with you everywhere you go every day of your trip! If you’re in search for the perfect travel purse, check out my article here reviewing some of the best ones in the market.

After finding your day bag comes the question of what to pack. Your day bag is for travel essentials that you need to keep secure while having easy access to while out and about. Keeping in line with minimalist packing, we recommend sticking with a smaller bag to avoid overpacking and carting around items you never actually end up using (been there, done that).

Here’s a list of some travel essentials you should keep in your day bag:

  • Passport and other travel documents
  • Small wallet with credit card/debit card 
  • Spare cash in local currency
  • Phone (with local sim card if not using your home cell service)  
  • Power bank and/or chargers
  • Other optional electronics (earphones, electronic reader, tablet, camera, etc.)
  • Medications and other health-related items
  • Water bottle
  • Seasonal accessories (sunglasses, sweater, hat, gloves, etc.)
  • Small pouch with make-up or toiletries (sunscreen, lip balm, etc.)
  • Pocket journal and pen 

Since you’ll be carrying your day bag at all times, it’ll give you more of a reason to pack light! There’s nothing more annoying than carrying a bulky purse or having it constantly slide down your shoulders as you’re out and about exploring the city. Pro tip: pack your day bag a few weeks before you leave and wear it while you run errands.

What to Leave at Home

Now that we’ve covered what to bring, let’s talk about what to leave at home. 

We’re all a little bit guilty of overthinking while packing. We start imagining all kinds of unlikely scenarios and end up bringing unnecessary items that we might need “just in case” — but never end up using.

For example, if you know you won’t really have time to exercise, then skip the workout gear. The same goes for unrealistic plans. As much as you might want to go hiking, if it’s not 100% part of your itinerary, don’t bring hiking boots. Always remember that if you change your mind, you can probably borrow gear for any spontaneous activities.

Another thing to limit yourself on is toiletries. Save yourself space and time at security checks by leaving excessive products like creams, gels, or perfumes at home. Stick to your essentials and take advantage of the free items you can get at your hotel or buy what you need once in Germany. 

If you’re used to a long and complicated hair or skin care routine at home, consider a month or two before you leave how you can pare it down for travel.

The same goes for makeup. Don’t take your entire makeup bag with you. Instead, bring only products you use on a daily basis like powder, concealer, and one or two lip colors. You can also look into travel-size palettes that have multi-use products.

When it comes to electronics, leave behind hair styling tools like a curling iron, straightener, or hair dryer if at all possible. Not only do they take up so much space in your luggage, but you also have to make sure they’re compatible with the local outlets and voltage. If not, you have to then bring an adaptor and sometimes even a converter. Also, most hotel rooms already come with a hair dryer or even other styling tools upon request.

Minimalist Packing Tips

Here are some more minimalist packing tips:

1. Pack Less & Do Laundry

If you’re traveling for more than a week, built a couple hours once a week or so into your itinerary to do laundry so you’ll have clean clothes. You can use your hotel’s laundry services or do it yourself if you’re staying in accommodations with a washing machine.

In Germany, it’ll also be fairly easy to find a laundromat. Setting aside a couple of hours to do your laundry can even be a good way to have some downtime in between all the sightseeing. Us that time to edit your photos, write in your travel journal or just relax.

When all else fails, you can always buy a tube of “REI in der Tube” at the local grocery store in Germany and do laundry by hand in your sink.

2. Use Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are the ultimate minimalist travel gear. They let you organize your clothing in the most efficient way since you can separate items in different packings cube. This way you can easily see and everything you have. It also makes packing and unpacking faster, and staying organized so much easier.

3. Wear Layers

The weather is important factor to keep in mind when choosing what clothes to bring. Layers are a must. Having an assortment of short and long sleeved shirts, light jackets, cardigans, fleece or sweaters, and leggings and skirts in your capsule wardrobe will give you tons of possibilities for layering depending on the weather.

It’s also a good idea to look into buying tops made of merino wool. Merino wool is great for traveling because of how versatile it is –the fabric will keep you warm on cold days and cool on warm days and it doesn’t absorb odors!

4. Wear Neutral Colors

Another tip for when you’re putting together your capsule wardrobe: stick to mostly neutral colors! Colors like black, white, gray, navy blue, brown, and beige are colors that go with everything and are great for all seasons. 

Having a capsule wardrobe full of neutrals with one or two other colors or patterns makes it easier to mix and match pieces. It ensures that all your tops will coordinate with all of your bottoms, since the colors go together and won’t clash with one another. 

Stick to solid colors and simple patterns like stripes, instead of loud, busy patterns or statement pieces. While there’s nothing wrong with having one or two statement pieces, make sure to consider if you’ll be able to wear it more than once.

5. Pack Multi-purpose Products

As we mentioned, the goal of minimalist packing is to ensure that every item in your suitcase serves a purpose. But it’s even better if they serve multiple purposes at once! 

This is especially true for clothing. For example, you can wear a plain white t-shirt or tank top  on its own while you’re out on tours. But then you can also use it as a layering piece under a dressier blouse or cardigan for nights out. A long-sleeved button down can be used for when it gets chilly at night but can also serve as a light cover-up during day time or at the beach.

There’s also a lot of toiletries and cosmetics that have multiple functions. Try to look for products like moisturizers that already come with SPF. This way you can protect yourself from UV rays while also keeping your skin hydrated. If you wear makeup, you can take it even further and buy tinted moisturizer with SPF, which provides light coverage to hide any blemishes.

Foldable shopping bags for quick shopping in between

Sometimes it must go spontaneously fast or the purchase is larger than planned and you need an extra bag to be able to stow everything. Often, the plastic bag from the supermarket ends up on the checkout belt and, if we're honest, in the trash can afterwards. If it does not find itself in the trash, then gladly also in the storeroom, where already the bags of the last purchases lie around.

Umwelttechnisch is not so the hit. But it also goes more sustainable and especially more stylish! Foldable shopping bags are not only space-saving to transport, but replace plastic bags once and for all. Quickly ready for use and can be used again and again. Find your favorite folding bag in our online store now!

Folding bags from Reisenthel: sustainable, but please with style!

Our carrier bags are sustainable and thanks to unusual designs even real eye-catchers! Thus, you set a fashion statement while shopping quite incidentally. All this with maximum functionality and usual reisenthel quality.

Our most popular model: the mini maxi shopper!

This foldable shopping bag is a real warhorse among the reisenthel products. Already since 2001, it knows how to convince with a minimalist concept and maximum function. Quickly unfolded or folded, with 15 or 22 liters volume: the perfect folding bag for small shopping or a shopping trip.

Also available as mini maxi shopper plus with three outer slip pockets and longer carrying handles.

Luggage on the train

You do not need to make a reservation for your luggage, and you do not need to weigh or measure your bags before you travel. Nevertheless, this section contains useful tips and information for travelling by train with luggage.

Frequently asked questions about taking luggage

Can i take luggage on the train free of charge.

Luggage such as briefcases, laptops, backpacks, suitcases, etc. can be taken along free of charge.

Can I choose specific seats close to areas where I can easily stow my larger luggage?

Yes. If you reserve a seat online, you can select a seat near a baggage rack in the second booking step using the graphical overview ("Reserve requested seat" and then "Select seat"). Alternatively, you can look for rows of seats in the graphical overview with the seat backs facing in opposite directions, i.e. back to back. This is because there is a space between the rows of seats in which you can store your luggage at floor level. Please put any wheeled suitcases down so that they do not roll away during the journey and endanger other passengers.

Is it ok to place my luggage next to safety devices?

Aisles, doors and safety devices such as fire extinguishers must remain unobstructed for your safety. Always follow the instructions of the on-board crew.

What items should I carry in my hand luggage rather than in my suitcase?

Pack important and valuable items in your hand luggage and do not pack them in your suitcase. These include medicines, medical records, keys and laptops.

What other luggage items can I take on the train?

In addition to bags, trolleys and suitcases, you can also take the following:

Prams and pushchairs: For train journeys, we recommend easily foldable models or buggies that are easy to stow away. Some train types have spaces for prams and pushchairs in the family compartment, partly in the newly introduced family areas or in their immediate vicinity.

Lots of families travel during holidays, on weekends or before public holidays. On these days, it can be difficult to take prams and pushchairs on board as there is only limited space available. You should always be able to store your luggage in the luggage compartment, the luggage rack or under the seat. This also applies to prams and pushchairs because aisles and door areas (escape routes) must remain clear, and safety devices such as fire extinguishers must be accessible. 

Folding bicycles, folding pedelecs, small electric vehicles: Folding bicycles, folding pedelecs and small electric vehicles (e.g. electric scooters, tread scooters, kickboards, etc.) may be carried when folded, provided they can be stowed safely (e.g. in the luggage rack) and do not obstruct or injure other passengers, or damage the carriage.

Bicycles: The long-distance trains on which you may take bicycles are marked accordingly in the arrival and departure timetables, and in our travel information. You will need a long-distance transport bicycle ticket and a storage space reservation. The reservation is free of charge and included in the price of your bicycle ticket.

Storage spaces are generally located in second class carriages. You can also reserve a seat on request. The seat and the storage space will generally be in the same carriage. In certain cases, however, the storage space and the seat may be in two different carriages. Each passenger can only take one bicycle.   Orthopaedic aids: We will of course transport your orthopaedic aids, such as a wheelchair, rollator or walking frame, free of charge. Different regulations apply in some transport associations.

How big can my luggage items be?

The following standard dimensions were assumed when dimensioning the luggage racks and almost always fit: 700 x 500 x 300 mm (height x width x depth).

How do I stow my luggage on the train?

Luggage under your own seat Please ensure that you can stow your luggage independently in the luggage rack or underneath the seat.

Luggage racks in the open saloon section Many of our trains offer luggage racks for large suitcases in the open saloon section. These are located either near the doors or in the middle of the carriage. If you wish to keep your bag with you, place it in one of the luggage racks above your seat or, if possible, under the seat.

Luggage racks in the compartment Compartments only have luggage racks above the seats. The Intercity 2 is an exception, as the small shelves above the seats are not suitable for suitcases. Additional luggage racks are provided here.

How much luggage can I take on the train?

In addition to your hand luggage, you are allowed to carry one additional larger piece of luggage or item free of charge, provided this load can be carried by one person alone. Due to its size, it may need to be stored outside your seating area, e.g. in the nearest luggage rack. Each passenger is responsible for supervising their own luggage.

The information provided here is applicable to long-distance trains operated by Deutsche Bahn. It also applies to local transport and international services.

The  conditions of carriage  for persons travelling with Deutsche Bahn AG companies (BB Personenverkehr) apply.

27 Top Germany Packing List Items for 2024 + What to Wear & NOT to Bring

Neuschwanstein, Germany

Germany is a country rich in fairy tale folklore, a vibrant art scene, and gorgeous countryside — all in addition to a wealthy history as one of Europe’s most influential nations. To navigate this country, where the weather is as diverse as its subcultures, I put together this packing list.

In this guide, you’ll find what to wear in Germany , as well as what NOT to bring, and answers to other key Germany FAQs.

What to Pack for Germany – 27 Essentials

1. neck wallet.

Especially when visiting touristy cities like Berlin and Munich, a neck wallet is an item you won’t want to travel without. Keep your valuable belongings organized and secure by wearing this handy neck wallet beneath your clothes and out of reach for pickpockets. It has RFID-blocking material so e-thieves won’t be able to scan your bag for financial data.

2. Jet Lag Relief

Depending on where you’re coming from, you may experience the unpleasant effects of jet lag upon your arrival in Germany. Prevent and treat those nasty symptoms by taking homeopathic jet lag relief pills and making the most out of your first day in Germany. They are gentle and don’t contain jitter-inducing caffeine like many similar products.

Jet Lag Relief

3. Virtual Private Network (VPN)

There have been massive ransomware attacks and billions of dollars stolen in Germany through cyberattacks. The government reported in 2023 that the risk is higher than ever, and you must protect your private data abroad. Anytime you connect to Wi-Fi in public places, such as in hotels, cafes, and airports, you leave yourself vulnerable to potential hackers.

Keep your sensitive information, such as credit card numbers and passwords, safe by using a VPN when you go online. It will encrypt your connection so that hackers, nosy trolls, and government entities cannot monitor your online activity (or price-gouge you due to geo-locating your IP address!) This will result in discounted flight rates, a safer connection, AND give you access to popular websites from home that may be censored in your host country. The internet is not created equally everywhere and a VPN is a serious no-brainer.

4. Universal Power Adapter

You will want a lightweight power adapter that will allow you to plug all of your dual-voltage personal electronics, such as mobile phones, tablets, cameras, and laptops, into a German outlet. This highly-rated Universal Adapter is a great option that will not only have you covered in Germany and throughout most of Europe, but also in over 100 destinations around the world.

Universal Power Adapter

5. Lipstick-Sized Portable Charger

If you plan to use your smartphone for photos, videos, and navigation, you will need to power up your battery frequently during your time spent in Germany. This one is convenient because it’s lightweight and small enough to carry in your back pocket, which is very fitting with Germany’s minimalist style.

Lipstick-Sized Charger

6. Travel Insurance for Germany

Don’t gamble with your coverage. In most cases, your domestic provider does not extend to foreign destinations (including Medicare and Medicaid), and travel insurance is too affordable not to have. It protects your trip investment against the most common mishaps like lost or stolen luggage, flight delays and cancellations, and medical expenses. Germany is an expensive country and you don’t want to risk paying out-of-pocket for a huge hospital bill or bag replacement when it could have easily been reimbursed.

Our go-to is Faye and we are patrons for life! The customer service is top-notch and they somehow turned an unpleasant experience into a painless one. With claims and reimbursements handled through their mobile app, you can enjoy peace of mind that your trip is fully protected. They even have add-ons for “trip cancelation for ANY reason.” Don’t be a fool and go without it!

7. Packing Cubes

With all the seasonal gear you will be packing, from snow boots to bathing suits, you’ll need to keep all your layers organized by storing your items in packing cubes. This set is great because it comes in a variety of vibrant colors and includes separate cases for shoes and dirty laundry.

8. Comfortable Flats

There’s no question that you’ll be doing plenty of walking on cobblestone streets and hiking paths while in Germany. From strolling through the vibrant cities, visiting museums, and enjoying biergartens – you’ll need comfortable, stylish flats for long days on your feet. These provide comfort and are the perfect breathable shoe to wear all day long.

Comfortable Flats

9. Quick-Dry Travel Towel

A travel towel is one of the most versatile items you can carry with you. This one is light as a feather and 10x more absorbent than cotton. We use them on a daily basis while traveling for things like drying off, wiping away sweat, covering seats, cushioning delicate items, etc.

Quick-Dry Travel Towel

10. Activated Charcoal

Traveling to foreign countries often results in an upset stomach, whether it’s caused by the traveling itself, the tap water, or eating something that doesn’t agree with you. Either way, activated charcoal is an absolute must-have. The charcoal absorbs toxins in your system and helps you carry on with the many fun parts of traveling.

Activated Charcoal

11. TSA-Approved Luggage Locks

If you’ve ever had anything stolen while traveling, you know the importance of luggage locks. We use this set because they’re 10x more secure than a 3-digit system, you can set it up with your birth year or something easy to remember, and they’re TSA-approved. We use them for suitcases, purses, lockers, etc.

luggage locks

12. Pre-paid German SIM Phone Card

You’ll be glad you thought ahead when you can easily use your phone for navigation, google, uber, and more during your time spent in Germany. Instead of paying outrageous roaming rates or international fees through your cell provider, just purchasing a cheap European SIM card will make things much easier for you throughout your trip. All you need is an unlocked smartphone, and you’re good to go!

Pre-paid German SIM Phone Card

13. Windproof Travel Umbrella

The weather in Germany can be unpredictable and sometimes you may experience all four seasons in a single day! In a country where you’ll inevitably be spending a lot of time outdoors, you’ll need to have a sturdy, windproof travel umbrella. This one comes with a lifetime replacement guarantee and will keep you protected from the elements.

Umbrella

14. Discounted Tickets on German Attractions

We book our family tours through Get Your Guide because they offer the most affordable and authentic experiences! When in Germany – take a romantic river boat cruise through Berlin , explore the castles of Potsdam , taste regional beer in Düsseldorf , and taste wine in the Moselle Valley .

Berlin is popular for its Government District and historic art scene , while Munich has fantastic day trips like visiting the fairytale region of Nördlinger Ries , or the castles of Neuschwanstein . When getting around larger cities, it may be easier to book the (cliché but fun!) Hop-On Hop-Off Tours .

15. Stylish Backpack

Fashion in Germany is utilitarian and understated without sacrificing elegance or style. A sleek and sturdy backpack will guarantee you will fit in with Berlin’s hip street style and see you through a long day of sightseeing. This one is well-made and designed to prevent theft with an inside zipper. It is practical and fashionable, plus it has tons of storage space for such a small item.

Stylish Backpack

16. Gorgeous Outfit

In cities like Berlin, you may opt for more casual evening attire, but at some point, you’ll want to go out for a nice dinner or evening on the town. In any case, it never hurts to pack at least one gorgeous outfit like this one that can be dressed up or down with the right accessories. It flatters many body types and my wife has it in multiple colors!

Gorgeous Outfit

17. Water Bottle with Built-in Filter

The tap water is safe to drink in Germany, so you’ll want to remain hydrated by bringing a reusable water bottle with you wherever you go. We like to use a water bottle with a Brita water filter since it purifies water and improves the taste of any chlorine or minerals that have been added.

pink water bottle

18. Weatherproof Rain Jacket

Germany has a unique climate, and the weather can be a bit all over the place. Berlin gets hot in July, but it does rain throughout the year. And while September is sunnier, it brings cooler temperatures. With a light jacket in a neutral color, you’ll be prepared for any weather and fit in perfectly with the locals.

jacket

19. Gloves + Hand & Foot Warmers

One thing I’ve regretted not having in the past is a pair of well-insulated gloves. This set is made of water-resistant material, which is handy to have in a place like Germany since temps can drop to −45.9 °C (−50.6 °F) . Hand and foot warmers are an awesome addition because they stay toasty for up to 10 hours, making the frigid air feel way less punishing.

Gloves + Hand & Foot Warmers

20. German Phrasebook

While cities like Berlin and Hamburg are highly fluent in English, it’s not polite to assume. Further in the countryside, you might find yourself relying on your Deutsch to get around. A German phrasebook like this one will cover all the basics for finding your way around, or even making some new friends!

German Phrasebook

21. Travel Hammock

If you plan to spend time outdoors or camp through the German countryside, a travel hammock is a serious life hack. For casual lounging in the Bavarian Alps or outdoor naps in the Rhine Region – this water-resistant nylon design is easy to set up and a great value (ideal for adventurers that like to stop to smell the frisch air!)

Travel Hammock

22. Hiking Shoes

Since a lot of the activities in Germany will require great walking shoes, (even in the cobblestone streets of towns), opt for a solid pair of tennis shoes. This pair by Columbia is made for durability and all-day comfort. They are waterproof and have great traction for slippery areas.

Hiking Shoes

23. Hanging Toiletry Bag

European bathrooms leave a lot to be desired… With a lack of counter space and virtually zero storage room, a hanging toiletries bag can be a game-changer! This one unfolds to expose four giant pockets and plenty of compartments for beauty and hygiene products.

Hanging Toiletry Bag

24. TSA-Approved Toiletry Bottles

Don’t forget the toiletry bottles that are TSA-approved (under 3.4-ounces per bottle). My wife and I like these because they have a multi-layer leak-proof design. We don’t have to worry about throwing away our favorite products at the security checkpoint, and we’ve also never had a messy luggage spill since buying these.

TSA-Approved Toiletry Bottles

25. Compression Flight Socks

Getting off a 10-15 hour flight with swollen legs is no fun. If you’ve ever felt pain in your legs or a lack of circulation during long days of flying – I’d recommend bringing some compression socks. Even flight attendants wear these to account for the cabin’s pressure and high elevation.

Compression Flight Socks

26. Shawl or Scarf

With changing weather, a scarf or shawl will be useful regardless of the season. Throw it on over your outfit on a cool summer night, cover your shoulders when entering a modest church, or use it to add some style to a winter outfit. This versatile item is a must-bring for any trip to Europe.

Shawl or Scarf

27. Packable “Just in Case” Bag

Some destinations have tacky souvenirs… but Germany is not one of them! You’ll definitely want to bring home authentic goods for yourself and loved ones, like German chocolate, spices, pilsners, Birkenstocks, Christmas decor, and more. Use this “just in case” bag for those inevitable purchases. It is super lightweight and counts as your personal item on the flight home.

What to Wear in Germany

From punk rock warehouse parties to the opera, Germany combines music with style to show off its diversity. Whether your taste is classical or avant-garde, functionality and simple elegance pervade across the country. Berlin by far is the most sartorially diverse city in Germany, whereas tastes swing more conservative in Bavaria.

When traveling in Germany, do as the locals do and opt for comfortable items that fit well and easily match. A neutral color palette with a few bold accents here and there goes over well.

With fashion’s emphasis on the functional, you don’t need to bring too much clothing. Dressing in layers will combat seasonal weather changes, and keeping colors and prints consistent will help you mix and match without weighing down your suitcase.

Germany might be known for its understated fashion sense (famed designer Jil Sander hails from the tiny town of Wesselburen), but this country welcomes style in all shapes and colors. Everyone is free to dress in whatever way makes them happy in Germany’s bigger cities. In summer women can’t go wrong with a sundress, denim jacket, and stylish sneakers or flats. For evening, jeans, a sleek blazer, and heels make for an elegant dinner outfit.

white blouse2

Whether you prefer to dress up or dress down, Germany offers something for everyone. Home to brands like Puma and Hugo Boss, this country caters to all tastes. To blend in with the locals, men can’t go wrong with fitted jeans and a comfortable tee shirt with a stylish pair of trainers to match. Leather jackets and black denim are hardly out of place in trendy Berlin or Frankfurt. Clothing should be casual by day, and by night anything goes.

jeans

Germany’s weather varies by season and region, so it’s always a good idea to dress according to your main activities (museum visits and city life vs. camping and hiking). Keep the following points in mind:

Weather : Even in the busiest of cities, plan to spend plenty of time outdoors. From biergartens to exploring each city’s unique architecture, you will spend a lot of time in streets or parks. You will spend even more time out in the elements if you venture to the countryside to explore Germany’s stunning forests, mountains, seaside, and lake districts. The opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors are endless. But sometimes, so is the rainfall. Weather varies greatly by season, and sometimes you will see four seasons in a day—so it is always best to come prepared.

Spring – March, April, May

By March, the sun rears its head and people start heading to the parks for a beer. Still, while spring is lively it can remain chilly and rainy. It’s very common for it to start raining suddenly, or for a strong breeze to bring on a chill. To enjoy social activities like grabbing a drink in a local Biergarten, expect to wear a wind-breaking jacket and carry an umbrella in hand.

By April it warms up slightly, and May and June show much milder weather with more consistent sunshine. Bear in mind that average temperatures in the mountains will be a little cooler. Average temperatures in March hover between 33 and 47 (1 to 8 C), rising to 39 all the way to 67 (3 to 19) by mid-May.

Summer – June, July, August

Summer might be just as varied as spring, with bouts of rain and wind here and there. Nevertheless, summer is when you can most reliably expect temperate weather and sunny skies in any part of the country. Temperatures vary significantly in the mountains, but typical of a moderate continental climate, Germany will offer plenty of toasty and sunny days perfect for an afternoon in the park and enjoying the beautiful architecture of Berlin, Hamburg, and Munich. Average temperatures in the north hover between 21 and 25 (69 to 77), with two major exceptions: the mountains and the northern coast. Mountain temperatures stay in the single digits, from 2 to 9 (35 to 48) degrees. And the seaside is very warm, with temperatures frequently rising to 30-32 degrees (86-90).

Autumn – September, October, November

September is mild, offering summer’s last leg of sun and warmth before temperatures cool down and it begins to rain again. Expect plenty of sunshine throughout most of the country, with the exception, as always, of the mountains. If you are heading to Oktoberfest, you’ll be wise to wear layers, but keep your sunglasses handy.

By October, temperatures will drop and winds will pick up quickly. By November, the days get quite short and it not uncommon for a bit of frost or snow to fall. To feel comfortable in the city or country, a warm jacket, long trousers, and weather proof shoes are a must.

Winter – December, January, February

Winter in Germany earns its cold and bleary reputation year on year-end. In the north temperatures quickly drop to near freezing, hovering around 1 degree (33 Fahrenheit), but the coast welcomes warm waterfronts that keep these temperatures relatively stable.

Further to the south, temperatures will vary but cities like Berlin and Hamburg stay close to the temperatures range of -2 to 4 degrees (28 to 42), with most days rather grey. Meanwhile, Bavaria, where Munich is located, is reliably colder and greyer—witnessing Germany’s longest winters. Here, temperatures stay much closer to the lower end of the national average, usually between -2 to 0 (28 to 32). The elevated region of Thuringia will also see snowfall and further drops still, which leaves no doubt that a German winter requires thick layers, a hooded coat, and mittens.

What NOT to bring to Germany:

1. fancy evening wear.

Unless you are going to one of Germany’s famed opera houses for a live performance, you don’t need to dress to the nines to have a good time about town. Casual, alternative, or smart—whatever your style, feel free to dress comfortably and be yourself in this diverse fashion capital.

2. Sandals or high heels

Yes, summer is warm in Germany. But unless you are heading to the beach or lakefront, you are more likely to spend your day in sneakers or flats. Spare the extra space in your suitcase for some souvenirs.

3. Electric hairstyling tools

Hair dryers, flat irons, and curlers won’t work as well when plugged in to a European power adapter. To truly blend in with the locals, you’re best off keeping your hairstyle simple. Otherwise, you can request a hairdryer to be loaned to you by your hostel or hotel concierge.

4. Excessive medication

Thanks to the country’s fantastic and affordable healthcare system, you can find most medications at a reasonable price in any pharmacy. Bring the basics (including necessary prescriptions) in your bag and purchase the rest as need.

5. Your credit card

Ok, you might need your credit card—but certainly not more than one. And you are unlikely to need any travelers’ checks either. Surprisingly, Germany remains one of Europe’s more cash dependent societies, with a notable disdain for paying with plastic. To make sure you can smoothly pay for museum entrances, restaurants, and tourist attractions you’re better off with some cash (in Euros). Go to your bank for a more equitable exchange rate.

FAQs for Germany travel

1. what is transportation like in germany.

Germany’s cities and larger towns have excellent public transport systems. Bigger cities, such as Berlin and Munich, combine buses, aboveground trams, underground train networks, and S-Bahn (suburban) commuter rails into a single network. Generally though, people cycle. In bigger cities, you can rent a bike to navigate the city center. Out towards the countryside, the intercity rail network will get you from town to town, but for activities like camping, you may need to rent a car.

2. Do people speak English in Germany?

Germany is one country where English is widely spoken among city dwellers, particularly those aged 40 or under. Tourists will have no problem getting around Berlin or Stuttgart with English. In smaller towns, you may need to learn a few basic German phrases to get around. In all cases, learning how to say please and thank you goes a long way towards making new friends.

3. Is it safe to drink the water?

Yes, the tap water is very clean across Germany, and cities like Berlin or Munich in particular boast that their local supply is high in minerals and quite tasty. However, for some reason or another, among Germans it is very uncommon to drink tap water. Most restaurants serve only bottled water, and some people would consider it bad manners if you were to offer them tap water at home. To blend in, go for bottled.

4. What is the best time of year to visit Germany?

It really depends on the type of activity you would like to do in Germany. If you are an art lover, indoor museums and theatres are enjoyable any time of year—and certainly, the queues to get into popular tourist sites will be shorter. However, as German cities are quite walkable, and the countryside offers incredible opportunities to explore nature, your best bet may be to visit in spring or summer. Especially if you’re a fan of cracking open a cold one in your local Biergarten.

5. What is the German currency? Can I use US Dollars?

Germany uses the euro. As a cash-dependent society, Germany will require you to carry a fair amount of cash in hand. That said, in big cities you can naturally use your credit card in major restaurants, museums, and shops.

6. Do I have to tip in restaurants and bars?

Serve charges, tips, and VAT (a European tax) are all included in the bill in German restaurants, bars, cafes, and clubs—meaning your bill reflects the final price. Servers also earn a living wage, so there is no need to tip. However, it is customary to “round up” the amount to the next euro on a small cafe bill, for example. A rule of thumb is to add 5-10%, generally ending with a full Euro amount.

7. Do I have to tip in restaurants and bars?

8. what do i need to know about oktoberfest.

If you needed an occasion to break out your dirndls and lederhosen, Oktoberfest is the right one. As the world’s largest beer festival, Oktoberfest takes place in September and October in Munich over the course of 16 days. The festival opens with a parade, a twelve gun salute, and a signal to all the restauranteurs attending that they can start serving their food and drink. Expect to explore this massive food festival with cash in hand to purchase beer, snacks, traditional bites like roasted sausage, and even trendy international fare. Make sure you drink water between beers and wear comfortable shoes. Munich is a safe town where provided you drink and eat responsibly, you can let loose and have a great time.

9. What is entertainment and culture like in Germany?

Germany’s art, music, and entertainment spheres are some of Europe’s most diverse. In big cities, there is something for everyone. Germany is a historical capital of opera and classical music, home to both Wagner and Handel. But the country is no stranger to experimentation, with electro music having been popular in German clubs for decades. If you are more of a visual art fan, Berlin and Munich offer a host of classical and contemporary art museums. In summer you will frequently come upon art, music, and food festivals—but don’t forget about football either. This football-loving nation won the last World Cup, and local club matches are very exciting.

10. What is the food like?

Typical dishes include schnitzel, apple strudel, and plenty of sausages and delicious beer. Germany’s traditional dishes can feel quite heavy when you try them all in one sitting. But healthy and experimental eaters need not worry. Germany has a long tradition of adopting Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, and Berlin is one of the world’s most vegan-friendly cities. Healthy, meat-free, and dairy-free options are often available if you have any health concerns or dietary restrictions.

11. Who is Checkpoint Charlie?

If you have been hearing a lot about Checkpoint Charlie, “he” is one of the most important figures in Berlin’s history. This is the name not so fondly given to the crossing point between East and West Berlin when Germany was divided during the cold war, and “Charlie” represents a sad but important moment in Germany’s history following the Second World War. Through many German cities you will see museums, landmarks, and architectural sites that make a nod to the country’s turbulent and controversial history and find that German society is well-aware of it. Germany is a wonderful place to visit to learn about one’s European roots and see how well a country can incorporate its history into building a brighter future.

Ali Garland, Berlin expert & long term resident What to Pack

Are you wondering what to pack for Germany ? I’ve lived in Berlin since 2015, and in Germany (Freiburg before Berlin) since 2011, so I know what kind of weather to expect, what to wear in Germany, and what to pack for a trip to Germany . This Germany packing list will help make sure you pack everything you need.

I’ve created this packing list for Germany to help you plan your trip to Germany in various parts of the country. You’ll find tips for what to wear in Germany during different seasons, packing advice for women and men, luggage suggestions, and tons more tips for what to pack when traveling to Germany .

And keep in mind there might be some variation depending on exactly what you’re doing and where you’re going. What you do in Berlin is different from what you do in the Black Forest, so what to pack when traveling to Germany also changes a bit depending on locations and activities.

My top recommendations for your Germany packing list

Here are a few things that should definitely be on your Germany packing list.

  • Solid shampoo and solid conditioner : These solid versions will save you space in your liquids bag, and I love them so much I use them even when I’m not traveling.
  • Solid toothpaste tabs : Reduce your liquids even more with these solid toothpaste tabs.
  • Collapsible water bottle : The tap water in Germany is safe, so save money by bringing a water bottle to refill each day.
  • Plug adapter : Germany uses a different plug style than the US and UK, so make sure you can plug in your electronics with a plug adapter.
  • European SIM card : Get a SIM card or eSIM so you’ll have data from the moment you land in Germany, or wherever your first stop in the EU is.

I’m a backpack traveler for many reasons: It’s easier to manage up and down stairs, my hands are free, and I don’t have to worry about wheels getting stuck in cobblestone streets all over Europe.

Even in modern cities like Berlin and Munich , you’ll still encounter lots of cobblestone streets, which aren’t very suitcase friendly.

However, backpacks aren’t for everyone. If you’re more comfortable traveling with a suitcase, or you have back problems or other physical issues that makes suitcase travel more ideal, I have some suitcase recommendations as well.

Backpack recommendations for your trip to Germany

Over the years, I’ve tried many different travel backpacks. Here are the ones I’ve really liked that I’d recommend to you.

REI Trail 40L backpack

I’ve been able to take this backpack as carry on without any problems for several years on several different airlines.

Osprey Farpoint & Fairview 40L backpack

My husband, Andy, has the Osprey Farpoint 40L backpack, and it has held up well through many trips over the years. Different compartments help him organize his things, and the straps are comfortable even when carrying the bag for a long time.

Osprey has the Farpoint for men and the Fairview for women .

Suitcase recommendations for your trip to Germany

suitcases at baggage claim - what to pack for Germany

Briggs & Riley and Travelpro are two quality luggage brands I would recommend if you’re buying a suitcase for your trip. They each make several different types of suitcases, and it all depends on your preferences for things like hard case vs soft case, two wheels vs four wheels.

Before buying a suitcase, there are some things you should consider and look at closely.

Many manufacturers label suitcases as “carry on” but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s accurate. Airlines measure the suitcase including the wheels and handle, while the manufacturer usually lists the size of the case itself without wheels and handle.

An extra inch or two could put your suitcase over the airline’s carry on limit, so be sure to look for the full measurements including wheels and handle.

Suitcases tend to be heavier than backpacks when empty. Since many airlines have a weight limit for carry on luggage, this digs into your allowance.

Packing for Germany: Day Packs

You’re going to spend lots of time wandering around various cities taking in the sights and soaking up the atmosphere. I recommend including a day pack on your Germany travel packing list for holding all the things you want to have with you throughout a day of sightseeing.

REI stuff bag - what to pack for Germany

I love using a stuff bag for a daypack because it folds up into itself, so it takes up almost no room in my luggage.

It means I can pack it in my main bag so I have something to use for day trips or wandering around the city, but I don’t have to lug an extra bag around with me all the time.

Stuff bags are a great option for shopping in Germany since one-time use plastic bags are almost nonexistent, and reusable shopping bags come with a cost.

We own this one from REI and this one from Osprey , and they’re both great. The REI stuff bag is made from thicker material, but the Osprey one folds up smaller.

What’s the weather like in Germany?

What you pack for Germany will depend on where you’re going and the time of year you visit because the weather changes greatly from one season to the next. Germany has everything from mountains to low elevation areas, coastal regions to cities.

Reichstag Building in Berlin - Packing for Germany

Remember we’re in the northern part of Europe here, so summers are usually mild, though they can be quite hot at times.

And winters can be rather harsh with cold, gloomy days as the norm. Berlin’s latitude is 52.5N, which falls roughly halfway between Edmonton and Calgary, so it’s a lot farther north than many people realize.

Hamburg is even farther north at 53.5N. Freiburg, in the Black Forest , is at 48N, which is just a smidge north of Seattle.

What to pack for Germany in September will be different from what to pack for December . Always check the weather forecast a few days before your trip, because reality can vary greatly from the averages.

And traveling to mountainous regions will be colder because of the elevation. Visiting seaside areas near the North Sea or Baltic Sea can often be colder because of the wind.

I can’t give temperatures for every city in Germany. But since I live in Berlin, I have a better view of what the weather is like here than anywhere else.

I’m listing Berlin temperatures below for simplicity. Keep in mind that we’re tackling a whole country here, so there will be some amount of variation.

Here’s an overview of what kind of weather you can expect in Germany in winter, summer, spring, and autumn.

Germany weather in winter

snowy trees in the Black Forest Germany in winter what to pack

Winter in Berlin can be long, cold, and gloomy. I always feel like winter starts in November, a solid month or so before the calendar says so.

Temperatures drop, days become shorter, and the sky is more than likely covered in a layer of clouds that seems to stick around for several months.

Despite the averages listed below, there always seems to be at least a week or two when the high is around 20F.

Average high and low temperatures in Berlin: December: 39F/31F January: 37F/29F February: 40F/29F

Other parts of Germany get more snow than Berlin does, like the Black Forest and Bavaria, especially as you get into the mountains. But in general, winter in Germany is cold and can start in November and last through March. Come prepared.

Germany weather in summer

Prater beer garden - what to wear in Germany in summer

Summer in Germany is gorgeous. Temperatures range from mild to hot, days are long, and the sun is out almost every day. Locals know this is the short window to enjoy the fantastic weather.

Air conditioning is rare here (though you might have decent luck finding it in a hotel) so sometimes everything seems hotter than it is.

Even though the average highs are in the 70s, there’s almost always a few weeks when the high is anywhere from 85F to 95F.

Northern Germany will have milder summers than southern Germany. And locations close to the sea will usually benefit from that sea breeze and have fewer really hot days.

Last summer we took a weekend trip from Berlin to Rügen on the Baltic Sea in June, and I still needed a light jacket early in the morning and in the evening. But the middle of the day was quite warm.

Average high and low temperatures in Berlin: June: 72F/54F July: 76F/58F August: 75F/58F

Germany weather in spring

The calendar might say spring starts in March, but sometimes Germany doesn’t agree. Germany in March can often still feel like winter, so if this is when you’re visiting, you still need warm clothing.

But when spring does finally hit, whether that’s in March or May, the weather is usually mild and pleasant with a decent number of sunny days.

Average high and low temperatures in Berlin: March: 48F/34F April: 57F/40F May: 67F/49F

Germany weather in fall

Berlin Viktoria Park in autumn - Germany travel packing list

September is often still warm, sunny, and a great time to visit Germany. October can go either way, but by November, it’s almost guaranteed to start feeling cold.

Your Germany travel packing list for fall or spring should really have enough options for clothing that you can layer depending on what the weather actually happens during your trip.

Average high and low temperatures in Berlin: September: 67F/51F October: 57F/44F November: 46F/37F

What to wear in Germany

Viktualienmarkt Munich - what to wear in Germany

Germany isn’t one of your fancier countries. Lots of packing advice out there will tell you to dress up to travel to Europe, and while that’s sound advice for places like Milan or Paris, packing for Germany doesn’t require high fashion.

You can dress more casual here, especially in Berlin. If you want to walk around in pajamas in Berlin, no one will bat an eye, except other tourists.

In fact, there are parts of the Berlin where you might really stick out of you’re too dressed up. Certain Berlin clubs are ruthless about who they let in based on clothing, and if you’re dressed for a NYC club, you won’t get in.

The rest of Germany isn’t quite as quirky as Berlin, but you really can wear jeans in most cases and you will be fine. If you like wearing nicer clothes, that’s fine too, and you’ll fit in more in cities like Frankfurt, Munich, or Hamburg.

Are you doing a lot of outdoor activities like hiking? Dress appropriately in hiking shoes/boots and comfortable clothing.

Will you be going to a show at an opera house or philharmonic? Then a dressier outfit is certainly appropriate.

>>Check out our list of the best World War II and Cold War sites in Berlin .

What not to wear in Germany

Bebelplatz & Humboldt University law building on Unter den Linden Berlin - what not to wear in Germany

For the most part, I recommend dressing like you would at home. Don’t wear weird touristy-looking clothing or sweatpants or anything too trashy.

I also don’t recommend wearing high heels or other uncomfortable shoes. You’re likely to be doing a lot of walking and there are lots of cobbled streets where high heels are impractical and even dangerous.

What to pack for Germany

The things you pack for a trip to Germany will vary by season. While many items are the same no matter when you travel, like toiletries and electronics (recommendations following the clothing section), here’s a look at what kind of clothing you should include on your Germany packing list for different times of the year.

Warnemünde beach - Packing list for Germany

Summers in Germany run from mild to hot, though it’s usually only truly hot for 2 or 3 weeks total. Usually. Summer 2022 was very hot for several weeks at a time, so always check the forecast shortly before your trip.

Here are my recommendations for your packing list for Germany in summer.

Short sleeved shirts: Pack one for each day of your trip, plus or minus, depending on how open you are to re-wearing a shirt occasionally.

Long sleeved shirt: One should be enough. Since it does occasionally dip below acceptable summer temperatures, it’s good to have one long sleeved option to throw on over your short sleeved shirt.

Pants: Pack a couple of pairs of jeans, leggings, or other casual light weight pants. Summer is *usually* mild enough to not need shorts.

Shorts: That said, it’s worth packing a pair of shorts, or even two pairs, if those high temperatures hit while you’re here.

Skirts/dresses: If you’re a skirt or dress person, pack a few casual ones to wear instead of a pair of pants. But chances are, you won’t need anything fancy for a trip to Germany.

Light jacket: I find that a light jacket or a sweatshirt is good for any trip, any season, in case of a few cooler days or on an air conditioned train or bus.

Underwear: Pack one pair of underwear for each day of your trip, plus an extra. One pair of socks per day should also be fine. Ladies, pack 2 or 3 bras for a one week trip. I love ExOfficio because they’re quick dry, which is great for travel.

Sleepwear: Pajamas, t-shirt and shorts, leggings…you know what you’re comfortable sleeping in.

Bathing suit: Optional – this depends on what you plan on doing in Germany. There are lots of lakes in various parts of Germany, or if you’re planning a trip to one of the beaches in northern Germany, pack a bathing suit.

Shoes: Pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes plus one other pair of shoes depending on your itinerary. Flip flops or sandals for travelling or other casual shoes will work. Leave the high heels at home.

Outdoor clothing & shoes: If you’re going to be doing a lot of hiking, cycling, or other outdoor activities, pack sturdy shoes or boots and comfortable outdoor clothing.

Clothing: What to pack for Germany in winter

Ali and Andy enjoying Christmas markets in Berlin - packing list for Germany in winter

Winters in Germany are cold, and depending on where you’re going, it might be snowy, so pack accordingly. What to wear for a city trip is different from what to wear skiing in the Alps.

Short sleeved shirts: Pack a few short sleeved shirts that work for layering.

Long sleeved shirts: Long sleeved shirts that can be layered over short sleeved shirts will help keep you warm.

Sweaters: Especially if you don’t deal well with cold, windy weather, sweaters will keep the chill off. Try to avoid bulky ones that take up too much space in your bag though.

Pants: Pack a couple of pairs of jeans, or other casual pants.

Skirts/dresses: If you’re a skirt or dress person, pack a few casual ones to wear instead of a pair of pants. Layer with leggings to keep yourself a little warmer. Especially in the winter, you won’t need anything fancy for a trip to Germany.

Winter coat: A good winter coat is essential for protecting yourself from the cold air in Germany.

Hat , gloves , scarf : You’re probably going to spend a decent amount of time outside walking from one sight to another, so cover up with a good set of gloves plus a hat and scarf. These are essential for your winter Germany packing list.

Thermals: You probably don’t need these for normal sightseeing days, but if you go to Germany in December for Christmas markets, you could spend several hours outside. Layering thermals or leggings under your jeans will help keep you warm.

Shoes: Pack a pair of comfortable walking shoes plus one other pair of shoes depending on your itinerary. Boots could be a good choice for winter weather, just make sure they’re comfortable for walking and already broken in before your trip.

Outdoor clothing & shoes: If you’re going to be skiing or doing other winter outdoor activities, pack sturdy shoes or boots and comfortable outdoor clothing, plus any gear you don’t want to rent.

What should be on your packing list for Germany all year long

Many things you’ll need to pack for Germany will be the same no matter what time of year you visit.

solid toiletries for your Germany packing list

Hotels will often have shampoo, shower gel, and a few other things, but I much prefer to travel with my own toiletries.

Toiletry bag: Make sure any liquids you pack in your carry on luggage comply with liquids rules. Pack them up in a sturdy toiletry bag like this one instead of a disposable one that can easily rip.

Shampoo and conditioner: Stay under the liquids limit by putting some of your own shampoo and conditioner into these GoToob refillable bottles . Or try solid alternatives. Check out my favorite solid shampoo and solid conditioner on Amazon.

Shower gel or bar soap: Bar soap won’t add to your liquids limit.

Toothbrush, toothpaste, floss: Keep those teeth clean! Did you know you can get solid toothpaste tabs to save even more space in your liquids bag?

Contact solution and case: If you wear contacts, I also recommend bringing glasses as a backup.

Lotion: The water in Berlin is hard and can dry your skin. Other parts of Germany have softer water, but it’s always good to have some lotion.

Deodorant: Everyone appreciates it when you don’t stink. Why not try this 100% natural deodorant ?

Razor: If you have shaving needs, add a razor to your packing list for Germany.

Nail clippers and nail file: Leave the nail scissors at home since some security agents might confiscate them.

Brush and hair elastics: I usually prefer to have my hair up when I’m walking around all day.

Makeup: Pack your must-have makeup items and other travel accessories for women , but don’t bring too much.

Sunscreen: Important if you’re spending lots of time outside in the summer, probably less important in the winter, unless you’re spending lots of time in the mountains. Did you know they make solid sunscreen? I love this one .

First aid items

Rothenburg ob der Tauber - What to pack when traveling to Germany

Germany has everything you need, but it’s always good to have a few first aid items on hand in case you need them.

Headache/Pain meds: Bring some of your Tylenol or Advil from home. You can find their equivalents (Paracetamol is Tylenol, Ibuprofen is Advil) at any pharmacy, but you’ll get a lot fewer of them, and they’re more expensive per pill than in the US.

Bandaids: Again, you can get these at any pharmacy or drug store, but if you need one, it’s better to have it already.

Wound cream : Also good to have on hand for immediate use if you actually need it.

Immodium: Hopefully you won’t need this, but sometimes travel can lead to an upset digestive system.

Allergy meds: In my experience, the allergy medicine I’ve been able to get here isn’t as good as what you can get in the US. If you suffer from allergies, especially seasonal allergies, make sure you bring your favorite allergy medicine from home.

Prescription medications: If you have any prescriptions you take regularly, bring more than you need for your trip. It’s also good to have proof of your prescriptions. At a minimum this means your name is on the bottle, but for certain medications, a letter from your doctor is better.

Tiger balm : If you’ve never tried Tiger Balm, I highly recommend it. It’s great for headaches, itchy bug bites, and all sorts of other things you’d never imagine one balm could cure.

Bug repellent: In the summer months, you could easily encounter mosquitoes. Check out this solid bug repellent I’ve started using.

Forgot something at home? The word for pharmacy in German is Apotheke, and they can sell you over the counter things like Ibuprofen, Paracetamol, Immodium, wound cream, bandaids, etc. Common drug stores are DM and Rossman, and they have toiletries, makeup, razors, condoms, bandaids, contact solution, etc.

Electronics

camera Kindle passport - what to pack when traveling to Germany

Camera and accessories: If you really love photography and prefer a camera to a smart phone, make sure you pack your camera. If it’s a DSLR, bring whichever lenses you want to use on your trip to Berlin. I love my Canon Rebel DSLR .

Kindle : Great for bringing as many books as you want to read on the plane and on long train rides.

Smart phone: This works well for photos if you don’t want to bring a camera. Get a local sim card, and you can do lots of things digitally, like transport tickets.

European SIM card : Rather than deal with the hassles of trying to buy a local sim card when you arrive, get one ahead of time. Orange is a French company, but because of how the EU works, their SIM cards work throughout the region. Choose between a normal SIM or an eSIM.

Laptop and/or tablet: I often travel with my laptop because I work from the road, but for a vacation to Berlin, you might not need it. Consider leaving it at home or packing an iPad or other tablet to use instead. Or skip altogether because you can do a lot on your phone.

Chargers, cords, batteries: Make sure you pack any chargers, cords, and batteries you need for your electronics.

Plug adapters : Most of mainland Europe, including Germany, uses a two pronged electrical outlet. You’ll need a plug adapter to make your devices fit.

You do NOT need a voltage converter unless you’re traveling with a hair dryer, curling iron, or hair straightener. Even then, consider buying a dual voltage hair appliance before your trip because it’ll work better.

passport for packing list Germany

Passport: You won’t get far without your passport. US citizens do not need a tourist visa to visit Germany, but if you carry a passport from somewhere else, please check the embassy website for requirements.

Note: No official date has been released, but starting sometime in late 2023, US citizens (as well as those from many other countries) will be required to obtain a visa waiver in order to enter any country in the Schengen Zone, which includes Germany. Read here for more info.

Scan a copy of your passport and email it to yourself and email it to your emergency contact at home. It’s also good to print out a few copies to have with you: one in your luggage, and one you keep with you at all times.

Hopefully you’ll never need these backups, but you’ll be grateful to have them if your passport gets lots or stolen.

It’s also good to get a passport holder to protect your passport. It’s an important document, and it’s best to keep it safe from bending, water damage, etc.

Credit and debit cards: While plastic isn’t as universally accepted as it is in the US, it’s still good to travel with these. Make sure you have the phone numbers of your credit card companies and banks, that way if your cards get lost or stolen, you call them to have your cards canceled and replaced.

Driver’s license: There is no reason to rent a car in Berlin, but if you plan on traveling outside the city, a car rental might be a good idea, depending on what your plans are. As a tourist, your US driver’s license will work here.

Confirmation info: Almost everything is digital these days, but sometimes hard copies are still useful. At the very least, have the name and address of your hotel printed out in case you’re unable to access your email. A screenshot on your phone works too.

It’s often good to have print outs of tour bookings as well, but many tour operators now accept digital versions.

Other essential items to add to your Germany packing list

views of Hamburg - Packing list for Germany

Umbrella: Any time of year can bring rain to Germany, so packing a light weight travel umbrella is a good idea. A rain jacket is also useful, sometimes more useful than an umbrella since often the rain is just a drizzle.

City map : Google Maps works great, but if you’re better with physical maps, this laminated map that folds up to pocket size can be really helpful for navigating. This one is Berlin, but look for maps for whichever cities you’re visiting in Germany.

Sunglasses: You can leave these at home if you’re coming to Berlin in the winter, but summers are sunny and you’ll be happy to have your sunglasses.

Water bottle: In the vast majority of places, tap water in Germany is safe to drink , so refilling your own water bottle will save you a little money each day. And it’s better for the environment. These are collapsible , so they’ll take up less space in your bag.

Tissues: It’s always good to have a travel pack of tissues on hand.

Sleep mask and ear plugs : If you’re a light sleeper or you’re staying in hostels, a sleep mask and ear plus will come in handy. Even if you’re staying in a hotel, if it’s summer, beware that the sun comes up really early, so a sleep mask might help you avoid waking up at 4:30am with the sun.

Helpful apps for a trip to Germany

Berlin Sbahn - apps to include on a packing list for Germany

>>Check out my itinerary for 1 week in Germany from Berlin to Munich .

Google Maps: Great for not getting lost while exploring cities in Germany.

Google Translate: If you don’t speak German, this is helpful for signs and menus you don’t understand.

Public transport apps: Public transport is pretty good in most places in Germany, and these apps will help you plan your routes. Most have options for buying tickets in the app, but you have to load in your bank or PayPal info. Look for BVG for Berlin, MVV for Munich, VAG for Freiburg, HVV for Hamburg.

Deutsche Bahn : For getting around in Germany , Deutsche Bahn is excellent. The train network is extensive, and you can get almost anywhere. Buy your tickets in the app, too. The app works in English, making things even easier for visitors.

FlixBus : If you plan on using FlixBus (or FlixTrain) to save money on your trip to Germany, or all over Europe, the FlixBus app is a handy one to have.

Airline app: This will make it easier to check in for your flights and show your boarding pass.

WhatsApp: Makes it easy to keep in touch and message people while you’re here without getting charged international texting fees.

Where to stay in Berlin

Berlin has lots of great neighborhoods for you to stay in and explore. If you’re visiting Berlin for the first time, it might be best for you stay somewhere central.

Many of the attractions are in Mitte or easily connected to Mitte by Berlin’s public transport , so you should stay somewhere in that region. Here are a few hotels we recommend.

BUDGET: Circus Hostel Popular hostel with a bar/brewery downstairs

MIDRANGE: Circus Hotel Centrally located near restaurants & transport

UPSCALE: Westin Grand Centrally located, can chisel off your own piece of the Berlin Wall

UPSCALE: Westin Grand Luxury hotel where you can chisel off your own piece of the Berlin Wall

APARTMENT: Adina Apartment Hotel Kitchenette; near grocery stores, shopping, Museum Island

A Headless Hessian in Sleepy Hollow

In the old days traveling to Germany meant you could pack 5 bags and have clothes for every eventuality (invited to a Costume Ball? covered…. hiking in the Alps? covered…. A day at the spa? got it) . Today you are far more restricted by luggage allowance and increasing costs per bag. And honestly… who wants to schlepp all that luggage?? Worst of all, I found out the hard way that you can’t fit THAT many suitcases into the trunk of a small European car. Fortunately, I have a thing for lists. This includes making a fairly detailed traveling to Germany checklist every time I go. And I adjust it with each new experience so that when it comes time to haul out my suitcase,  I know exactly what to pack for Germany.

Now obviously, everyone will have different needs when they travel. If you are visiting family, you won’t need to worry so much about too many toiletries or multiple outfits ( presumably, you can borrow shampoo or wash clothing ). People on a tour need to ensure that everything needed is in their bag, because there may not be time to stop by the drugstore.

This Traveling to Germany checklist leans more toward what women need than men (sorry guys) but it’s general enough for everyone to check out.  One of the great things is that you don’t need more for a 2-3 week visit than you need for one. You can (hopefully) do some washing in between. To make things even more interesting, WHEN you go to Germany is important. You won’t need those tank tops unless it’s July. I’ve broken it down by type of thing,  and I also recommend whether you should carry it on or pack it into the suitcase.

packing list for germany

What to Pack for Germany

Keep in mind, that this is just a guideline! Different types of visits have different needs. When I visited family for a wedding, I packed differently than when I went to Berlin for the week. Take a look at the list, and consider the other things that you may need that are specific to your trip.

And in the worst case, if you’ve forgotten something? They have shops…

Carry on vs. Checked Bag

Admittedly, I don’t mind checking bags. I’d rather not be laden down with too much stuff as I’m racing through the airport and security. And with rules and restrictions about what can go into the passenger cabin of the plane, it’s easier to check things. If you travel REALLY LIGHT, go ahead and carry it all on. If you check your suitcase, go ahead and add an Airtag or something similar for extra security. Make sure to separate out the important things you need take in your carry on luggage.

Most airlines will allow a carry on, and a personal item. Some airlines are particular about how large or heavy your carry on bag can be. Be sure to check with the airline BEFORE you leave for the airport.

In your Carry-On (And purse if you carry one)

Remember, security won’t let you take liquids above 3.4 oz. And they will take away nail scissors, pocket knives and sun lotion. Just pack things in your suitcase so you don’t lose them. (By the way, if you need pocket knives, check out–> Globo Surf

  • Passport – make sure it expires at least 6 months after your return date. (also, keep a photocopy of the passport somewhere safe)
  • Driver’s License – You can drive in Germany with an American license for up to 6 months.
  • Airline Tickets – I know many of you keep them on your phone. I’m too paranoid for that. I also print out the paper.
  • Accommodation Information – You may have to fill out forms saying where you are staying. Have that information handy. It’s also good for handing to taxi drivers.
  • Student Identification Card – If you are a student, bring your ID card. It will get you discounts everywhere.
  • List of Medications- If you travel with medications, make sure you have a list of them by name, just in case you lose them, or get asked about them at the border, or you have a medical emergency.
  • Health Insurance Information – Make sure you have your insurance cardand also information about your travel insurance policy . Trust me when I say, it is always better to feel safe, especially when it comes to medical bills or any other similar health-related emergencies. Your travel insurance should be one of your best friends.   
  • Something to entertain you … a book or magazine or e-reader
  • Electronics – Camera, laptop, Tablet ***
  • Neck Pillow- if you want one
  • Medications – (And believe me, don’t put them all in one bottle thinking you will “remember” which is which and if you already took the ones for today… get one of those pill container thingies .)
  • Scarf- I love a larger scarf that works as a bit of a blanket… airplanes get chilly.
  • Jewelry – I just like to keep it close
  • Slippers or slides – Wearing shoes on a Trans-Atlantic flight is uncomfortable, but you DO NOT want to go into the bathroom in socks. ( That’s not water on the floor )
  • Brush, toothbrush, basic make up (to touch up before getting off the plane)
  • Snacks – Because you NEVER KNOW when you might get hungry.
  • Water Bottle – Note… you MAY NOT carry liquids through the security checkpoint, but you can carry an empty bottle. Fill it up at the fountain on the other side and keep hydrated on the plane!
  • I like to keep a clean shirt and pair of undies in my carry on… just in case the suitcase is delayed.

**Packing Documents

If you are nervous about losing them, keep these things handy in a Passport Pouch around your neck.  I know they can be uncomfortable, but you don’t have to wear it there all the time. Once you arrive, you can secure passports and important documents in the hotel safe. I like a passport pouch that doubles as a wallet, and fits into my purse.

Also make sure that none of your documents must be translated. For example, you might need translation of medical insurance. If such a translation is needed, my advice is to order it beforehand, you can use websites offering online translation services .

The question of Euros

I am frequently asked whether to exchange dollars for Euros in the US,  and if American credit cards work in Germany (they do) . To make things simple, I usually tuck around 80-100€ into my wallet before I leave home. My bank will make the exchange for a low fee. All of the rest of the cash I need comes from the ATM machines in Germany. Honestly, there are ATMs in every town. The exchange rate is good (and free with some bank accounts), and you don’t have to worry about carrying hundreds or thousands in cash with you. Read more about that here–> ATMs in Germany.

***Traveling with Electronics

  • Power Converters! – The plugs in Germany are a different shape than our American ones… and the power coming in from them is 220V not 110V. Rather than buy German appliances, or a bunch of little plug things, I bought myself a Bestek power converter . It’s lightweight, can support charging 3 plugged in things at once as well as 4 USB ports, and I don’t have to worry about my electronics.
  • Smart Phone- If you like to stay in touch with people back home, or feel like you will need to make phone calls while in Germany (and you probably will) you will need a phone. BE CAREFUL. Roaming charges are crazy expensive!! Most phone providers have some sort of international plan. Here’s a great article on taking your phone without breaking the bank–> Rick Steve’s Phone tips
  • Camera – Yes, you can use your phone, but for really good shots, you may want the best camera for pictures.  Don’t forget the batteries, cables and memory cards!
  • Laptop – Is this a working trip? Pack along that Laptop, and don’t forget the Charger!
  • Tablets/e- readers – Instead of packing a stack of books, you can download them all onto an e-reader. And tablets are useful for watching movies, getting information you need, or keeping up with family at home. Just be sure you are using WiFi.

How much Clothing do you Need?

I love Rick Steves, but he and I have some serious differences when it comes to clothing. I need more than 3 shirts. And I’m NOT washing out my undies every night. That said… I’ve also learned that you have to carry everything you pack, and there is no sense in stuffing a suitcase full of cute tops that you “might” wear if the right invitation comes up. Do check the weather before you go! If they are having an unseasonably warm summer, bring more light things… but I’ve been to Germany when it rained for 3 weeks straight in JULY. (Every photo of me is in a raincoat with umbrella).

Keep it simple, and stay with a color palate so you can mix and match items you are wearing. Don’t worry about wearing the same shirt twice, because if you are traveling around, no one will notice… and if you are staying with family, no one will care.

Avoid bulk! Hoodie sweatshirts will eat up half of your luggage space! A fine gauge sweater over a long sleeve t shirt is just as warm, and takes far less room.

One more thing…if you have a fitness routine at home, such as running, pack the things you need . They aren’t “extras”, they are essentials! Read more about the importance preparing for and maintaining your fitness routines while traveling HERE–> How to Stick to your Fitness Routines while Traveling.

Most Importantly! DO NOT TAKE BRAND NEW SHOES. And don’t bother with that pair that “only pinches a little”. You will be on your feet a lot. Take care of them with comfortable, slip-resistant shoes that you’ve worn in a bit. Those cobblestones are hard on your ankles!

Remember, this list is a guideline, it’s not in stone . Depending on what you are doing and where you are going, you may need to make some adjustments. Keep in mind, every time I threw 3 extra shirts into the suitcase “just in case”, they’ve come back unworn.

You can use the same list whether you are traveling one week or four weeks, you just need to find time to do a wash.

Packing for Spring/Summer

  • 3-4 T-Shirts or Tops (don’t wear shirts with giant slogans, stick with plain and simple)
  • 2-3  Blouses  (you can wear them alone or over the T-shirts)
  • 1 Fine gauge Sweater or cardigan
  • 1 lightweight Jacket
  • 1 pairs Jeans (or pants that you like)
  • 1-2 pair light pants
  • 1 pair shorts or a skirt A dressy outfit …
  • For women maybe a dress or nice slacks and blouse.
  • For men, a nice shirt and tie
  • Comfortable walking Shoes
  • Shower shoes (like flip flops) are great for public pools (but not for touring churches)
  • 5-7 pairs underwear (wash Travel Underwear in the sink, and it dries fast)
  • 3-5 pairs socks
  • Pajamas or Nightgown
  • Bathing Suit

Packing for Fall/Winter

Remember, even though it’s COLD outside, it will probably be warm inside. You need a coat for the elements, but when you are in a restaurant or museum, you will overheat if you overdress. ( Most places have coat rooms, use them. I learned that security HATES when you walk around a museum with bags and coats .)

  • 2-3 Long Sleeve T-Shirts or tops
  • 2-3 Long Sleeve blouses
  • 2-3 Fine gauge Sweaters (they take less room than bulky ones)
  • 2 pairs Jeans
  • 1-2 pairs Long Pants
  • 1 pair nice slacks (for going out)
  • 1 Heavy warm Jacket
  • 5 pairs WARM SOCKS
  • 5-7 pairs Underwear
  • 1-2 pairs Tights or Leggings
  • Undershirts (if you need them)
  • Lounging Clothes- if you like wearing a track suit around the hotel room, perfect… otherwise Leggings and a long sleeve t-shirt.
  • Boots for Winter (I found a great pair of boot that are warm, waterproof, and look a lot like shoes–> Ugg Waterproof Boots)
  • Walking or Tennis shoes- for indoor touring days
  • Travel Slippers for indoors
  • 2-3 Scarves (because you will be wearing the same coat in every photo… might as well have a pretty scarf showing)
  • Umbrella – compact and portable.

Packing for Oktoberfest

Pack a mix of the above stuff… and add Dirndl or Lederhosen. Keep in mind, you can wear one Dirndl and then mix and match different blouses and aprons. One pair of Lederhosen is generally enough, just get a few shirts, and you are good to go.

Where to buy-

You can buy them in Munich, but if time is limited, buy your Festival clothing ahead of time, and be ready to go right away!

  • A Dirndl for Women
  • Lederhosen for Men

Like to Pack Light? Or Just Going for a Quick Trip?

small travel bag

Toiletries-

I have a neat bag that opens up and hangs from a towel rack so it doesn’t take up space on the bathroom counter.

  • Toothbrush , toothpaste, dental floss
  • Shampoo and Conditioner – buy SMALL bottles, or fill small travel bottles with your products at home
  • Brush/ Comb
  • Hair Dryer- if you are staying in Hotels, they should supply them. CHECK
  • Basic First Aid Stuff- Band Aids, Aspirin or Tylenol
  • Nail file or Clippers – For the privacy of your bathroom in the hotel.
  • Lotion or moisturizers
  • Any Make-up you need

Other Things You May Need

  • Notebook and Pen –  I like to keep a loose diary or journal of my travels. This way, when I get home it’s easier to remember what I saw on each day. Also, it’s great for notes and reminders, and for keeping score when we play games. You can also use it to write up your itinerary for the day. Of course, we already talked about how I am a list person…
  • Cards or Dice Game – My family loves games! And small travel games are great for killing time in Airports or in the evening over a drink before bed.
  • Guide Book – I like to take guide books, or photo copy pages of guide books, of the places I’m visiting.
  • Extra Shopping Bag – I like taking along a packable nylon bag , so I can use it when I shop. Also, I often pack an extra empty medium sized bag into my suitcase, in case my shopping gets out of hand, and I need to check another bag to get home. (It also works as a nice beach bag)
  • Detergent for hand washing . – I have a set that includes stopper.

Mitbringsel

If you are staying with family or friends in Germany, you might want to pack along a host/hostess gift. I list some ideas here–> Gifts for a German Host Family

PHEW! That’s a Long List!

Remember, the list is a guideline. Most important is to not over pack! Take the time to put together a wardrobe that will mix and match. Lay out all the things you need BEFORE you start putting them in a suitcase.

And most of all… HAVE A GOOD TIME!!

Preplan some fun Tours and Activities in Germany!

Comment( 3 ).

Most of today’s electronic devices are dual voltage so all you need is an adapter to go along with your device. I took (OREI European Plug Adapter Schuko Type E/F) three plug adapters with me on my last trip and bought a power strip in Germany to fit them all into. I travel with cameras, computer, iPad, and phone. I tend to set aside funds to buy clothes where I’m going. I figure I’m going to buy souvenir shirts anyhow, so I Just skip a step and not take many clothes with me. I like to blend in with the natives a bit and not stick out so much as a tourist. German clothes tend to have zippers, a minor deterrent to pickpockets. I use a metal wallet to carry my credit cards and drivers license so they can’t be scanned while I’m walking around. I tend to carry a thumb drive with all my travel info on it in my passport pouch. I also have photos of me with all my electronic devices and serial numbers. Make arrangements with friends to accept any large souvenirs you may purchase. I always have those items shipped home because the place where I buy them from pays to ship, pays the insurance and packs them. Speaking of shipping or sending things. Before I leave I pack a majority of my clothes in a box and send it to my house. I’ve found I like having a light suitcase on the return trip. You get tired while traveling and pulling a heavy suitcase through the hotel and airport is not a lot of fun. My carry on is a bit heavy due to my electronic devices. I switched camera systems from a full frame to a 4/3 camera and the one I used fit into my jacket pocket. I wear soled house slippers to and from the airport they are easy to slip on and off going through customs and protect your feet on hard surfaces. I pack deodorant and a toothbrush, you can buy travel toothbrushes to clean your teeth on the plane if you want. I don’t pack any shower stuff in my suitcase. I go to the store and buy the travel size stuff there. I tend to stay a bit longer than most, I find three weeks a minimum. Traveling to Germany you lose a day going over and gain a day going back.

Oh! GOod to know! I’m notoriously bad at electronic stuff… I tend to drop or blow things up regularly. FOr me, it’s better safe!

If you want to save money on packing cubes, use ZipLock bags. They’re obtainable at any supermarket–and they’re cheap too.
