What to Pack
Rick Steves has some great packing lists and tips:
- Packing Smart and Traveling Light
- Rick’s Packing List
- Packing Tips for Women
- Women’s Packing List
- We posted a sample list of things we typically take. Some of the items are just things I take, but you won’t need. Also note, this is old and we have since updated our packing preferences. Just look at this as a reference guide.
Good site with lots of good tips for traveling in Europe
