Packing list for a European city break
Three to five days in Lisbon, Paris, Rome, London or Barcelona in a carry-on: cobbles, museums, a dinner that starts at nine, and weather that changes by the afternoon.
On a phone with Waystop installed, the button adds the list to your trip as a bag you can tick off. Otherwise copy it and paste it into Waystop’s Chat with “add this to my packing list”.

Spring and fall swing 18°F between morning and afternoon. Lisbon, Rome and Barcelona reach 86 to 93°F (30 to 34°C) in July and August. London and Paris rain about one day in three in any month.
- A plug adapter for the wrong countryThe UK uses three flat pins and the continent two round ones. Pack the one for your route, or one that does both.
- A suitcase bigger than a carry-on bagCobbles, stairs and metro stations without elevators
- More than two pairs of shoesOne for walking all day, one for dinner
- A local eSIM or SIMCheaper than roaming for anything over a weekend; set it up before you land
- The city's transit cardParis's Navigo Easy, London's contactless cap, Lisbon's Viva Viagem
- An umbrellaEvery corner shop sells one on the first wet afternoon
Worth knowing
- Museums and palaces book out. Save the confirmations in Waystop's Documents so the QR codes are one tap away.
- Hotel laundry is slow and costs a lot. Pack five days of clothes and wash the rest in the sink.
- Sunday closes shops in Paris and much of Italy; plan museums and parks for it.
