How to pack for a week holiday in Italy?

DSC03172f.jpg

The topic of packing comes back like a boomerang, again and again before each trip, so preparing a packing list and verifying it after returning home is an important matter that will improve this process and will make it easier the next time you travel. There is nothing to cheat, every trip is different and you should prepare for it differently. Of course, some things you take will repeat on every list, but unfortunately these are the things we usually forget about, so they should not be overlooked. To make your packing life easier, you will find below my packaging list for a week's vacation in Italy. Be sure to check it out next time you are getting ready for such a journey!

The luggage limit was 10 kg, which is the same as hand luggage, although we decided on one shared main luggage (20 kg max.), Which was 10 kg per person, but this option was cheaper than two smaller suitcases or backpacks. I wrote more about flight prices and options HERE.

Just before departure, I received an interesting advice from a friend who travels a lot, who rolls her clothes during packing. She assured that this way you don't crease your clothes, and thanks to that they take up less space, so next time I intend to check it. What are your packing tricks? ;)
