What should I pack for my holiday?

It depends on the climate, length of trip and planned activities. The packing list asks about these points and creates a tailored checklist in seconds – from documents and first-aid kit to clothing and tech.

Question 1 of 520%

What climate awaits you?

Choose your destination's climate so we can suggest the right clothing.

What belongs on the perfect holiday packing list?

A well-thought-out packing list is the key to a relaxed holiday. Nothing is more annoying than realising at your destination that important items were left at home. With our interactive packing list generator, you can create a tailored list in just a few clicks that is perfectly suited to your trip.

Is there a packing list for every type of trip?

Whether you are planning a tropical beach holiday, a hiking tour through the mountains or a city break in a European metropolis – the items you need differ considerably. Our tool considers your destination's climate, planned trip length and your activities to create a personalised packing list. You won't forget sunscreen for the beach or hiking boots for the mountain trail.

Which features does the packing list offer?

You can tick off each item individually, add your own things and your progress is saved automatically. Even if you close the browser and come back later, you will find your list exactly as you left it. The category overview shows you at a glance what is still missing. Tip: Start packing early – ideally a week before departure.

The basics are personal medication, painkillers, remedies for diarrhoea and travel sickness, plasters, disinfectant plus sun and insect protection. Details in our article on the travel first-aid kit.

How do I pack to save space?
