1. Essential documents

• Passport and visa (if needed)
• Flight, hotel and transport bookings (file + screenshot)
• Insurance details and emergency contacts
• Spare passport photos or a passport copy

2. Electronics

• Phone and charging cable
• Power bank (carry-on)
• Universal adapter
• Earphones, camera and spare batteries

3. Medicine and toiletries

• Regular prescription medicine (a few days extra)
• Stomach, pain, cold remedies and plasters
• Toothbrush, toothpaste and skincare (mind liquid limits)
• Face masks and hand sanitiser

4. What to wear by season

• Spring: big day–night swings — a light jacket plus layers.
• Summer: breathable clothes, sunscreen and a hat; carry a light layer for strong air-con.
• Autumn: layering is king — add for mornings and evenings, peel off at midday.
• Winter: thermal base layers, hat and gloves, hand warmers and non-slip shoes.

Tip: put used items back in the same place every night so nothing gets left behind at checkout.
