2. Think about the rainy days

During the spring time in Europe is always worth to carry a small, pocket-size umbrella or a rain coat. Occasional showers of rain will surprise you without any warning. Also the rainy days in Europe are often a bit cold, so a light coat will be perfect for such days, to hide from the humid air.

The top choice this season are light check fabric coats that look good with sporty style as well as classic outfits.

4. Travel shoes for Europe trip in spring

Wearing sandals in the spring time in Europe might just be too early. Unless you are going to one of the Mediterranean beaches.

For your trip to Europe choose one pair of shoes that will be good and comfortable for walking long distances, as you will probably wanna do as much sightseeing as possible. And Europe is known for having a lot of pretty palaces to see.

So you pick could be sneakers or tennis shoes or seasonal low-cut boots. Make sure to bring a pair of lighter flats for the most sunny days of your trip.

5. Choose light & bright colors for your outfits and accessories

This tip will be useful for the pretty photos that you will take during your trip to Europe. Dark clothing and black outfits tend to blend together in photos, which is not the best thing.

Make sure to pick some of the trendy bright tones for your outfits. The mustard-yellow or retro-red are great tones to freshen up your look and create a bright accent.

If you prefer to dress neutrally, that works too. Just add some bright accessories and you’re ready for the perfect Instagram shot in form of the Eiffel tower, the Brandenburg gate in Berlin or any other European spot you'll visit this spring.

6. Bags, oh bags!

A great choice for any kind of trip is a light and large tote bag or a backpack. If you have a large tote bag, it’s easy to carry all the stuff that you might need. A camera, warm jacket or a scarf, a small umbrella and other valuables.

Also a large tote or your backpack can easily be used as your carry on bag for the flight. For example, in a roll-up backpack you can quite often fit more things than you would in a carry on size suitcase. Depending of how full your backpack actually is, you can adjust the size of it.

For tote bags it’s important to have them with zipper, an option to keep it closed. Pickpocketing is a thing in many European capitals. You shouldn’t be crazy worried about that, but precautions like a bag that zips are always good to do.

7. Pick a jacket/ cardigan instead of a sweater

Spring evenings in Europe tend to be chilly, even if the sun is shining all day long. A sweater is a needles heavy peace in luggage that takes up a lot of space and can be skipped. I prefer a jacket, a cardigan or a light coat over a sweater.

All of those will be perfect for chilly evenings. A cardigan is also a great piece to wear to the airport and to hide from the cold air conditioned air in the airplane.

If you put your jacket or cardigan on while travelling, that way again you free up a luggage space for other more important things.

OK! NOW SOME IMPORTANT FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN ORDER TO MAKE A PERFECT PACKING LIST FOR EUROPE IN SPRING.

To get a good idea of what to pack for Europe trip in spring, you have to consider the weather in Europe that you will experience in your destination.

When is the best time to visit Europe in spring?

The spring in Europe starts in different times across different European countries. For example, you can enjoy blooming cherry trees in Paris already at the end of the March, while eastern Europe, like Baltic countries are still party covered in snow at the same time.

Check out our findings of the best chic dining spots in Paris, if that’s your destinations this year.

The best time for a spring vacation in Europe is end of April and beginning of May. Even though spring time peaks at different times in different European countries, April/May are kinda like the perfect average for the continent.

During that time days will mostly be warm and sunny in day time, and pleasant for walking around when it’s dark.

In Southern Europe - Italy, Greece, Spain you can even start the beach season, while Northern and Eastern Europe will offer you blooming spring and rays of sunshine for a good mood.

What kind of weather to expect?

Even though the sun is warm and nice in the spring time, always remember that spring is the trickiest season in Europe. It’s so easy to end up with a cold if you choose inappropriate clothing.

This is especially true for unexpected warm days, when the thermometer goes up and everyone rushes to ditch their warm clothes and walk around in t-shirts and shots, just like they’d do in summer. But actually it’s not that warm and people catch a cold more easily than in winter.

In European cities like London or Paris, there are only two seasons, autumn and spring, throughout the year. The weather in these cities is rather unpredictable, because suddenly it can rain or unpleasant cold winds may occur every day.

Read more about the best things to do in London and two of our absolute favourite areas - the street art paradise Shoreditch & one of the richest areas in the world Belgravia.

During our extensive travels all over the Europe, I’ve noticed that it’s nice and warm during the sunny days until the moment when sun goes behind the cloud.

Then immediately the summer feeling is replaced by the stinging cold, that get’s all the way to your bones.

So in spring time it’s worth to carry a warmer jacket and a rain coat even if your weather app is promising sun and blue sky all day long.
