Packing lists by destination and trip

Full lists with weather gear for every month of the year.

Frequently asked questions

This one is free with no sign-up. It reads the measured climate of your destination for the month you travel, so a rainy month adds a rain jacket and a cold one adds warm layers, and it counts clothes for how long you are going. Each list gets its own link to tick off, share and reopen.

For 7 days the list counts 6 tops, 3 bottoms, 8 pairs of underwear and 6 of socks. For a trip of 8 days or more the counts stop there and the list adds a wash each week and a laundry kit, so two weeks packs the same bag as one.

From the city's measured climate for the month you travel: rain gear when it rains on 8 or more days of the month (a month below freezing on average gets snow, not rain), warm layers when nights fall to 8 °C (46 °F) or below, and sun protection when days reach 24 °C (75 °F). A beach, snow or high-altitude trip can get sun protection when it is cooler than that.

Rows by age: 9 for babies up to 2 (diapers, formula, a carrier), 7 for kids 3 to 12 (a comfort toy, kids' medicine, a car seat on a road trip) and 1 for teens. Clothing counts are per person once more than one person is going.

Yes, it is free, with no sign-up. Print the list or download it as PDF, Excel or Word.

This list is what every trip needs. A trip abroad also needs documents, money and phone to-dos (passport validity, travel insurance, an eSIM) plus plug adapters and visa rules for the country. The international checklist lists those, and the generator adds them whenever a city on your trip is in another country.
