When you learn how to pack light and carry on, you don't have to worry about the airline losing your luggage and you save precious time by skipping the baggage claim. My rule of thumb is that any trip 2 weeks or less should require no more than a carry-on suitcase and a backpack.
If you go on a 2-week trip to Europe, there is a good chance you'll need at least a 25” suitcase, and perhaps even bigger 28” luggage will be more suitable. Still, within these suitcases, you want to choose one that weighs the least.
If you have unlimited suitcase space and don't want to do any laundry, a two-week trip means packing 14/2 = 7 bras and at least 14 pairs of underwear. That consumes a lot of valuable suitcase space! To reduce the number of pieces that need to be packed, simply commit to doing laundry on the road.
Plan on bringing four shirts per week, and two jackets to layer for warmth (if you're traveling to a cool or cold destination). For a two-week trip, you need four bottoms and eight tops. Pack one or two dresses if you plan on going anywhere fancy, and bring athletic gear if you think you'll hike or exercise.
50-75 liters: For a trip that lasts one to two weeks, many people jump up to a bag in this range. 75 liters-100+ liters: For big expeditions, travelers typically need several large bags that can hold 75 liters or more each.
Large suitcases: 2 to 3-week tripLarge suitcases have a height of around 75cm. These suitcases are ideal for a 2 to 3-week trip, like to the French Riviera.
Just like in America, Europeans wear all styles of clothes and it varies from country to country. That said, styles do tend to be a little more “dressy” but many Europeans are moving toward a more casual, t-shirt, sneakers, and jeans wardrobe.
Not only do packing cubes streamline the packing process, but they also contribute to an overall smoother travel experience. With everything neatly organised and easily accessible, travellers can eliminate the hassle of rummaging through a suitcase if they need to access items within their bag during their travel.
First, we'd recommend packing a change of clothes, any medication you need to take with you, and any valuable items, just in case your checked luggage is lost by the airline.
