8Overpacking and Dragging Heavy Luggage

Many first-time visitors pack too much, forgetting that Europe’s cobblestone streets, stair-heavy train stations, and small hotel rooms aren’t luggage-friendly. Oversized suitcases can make travel stressful, especially on public transport.

Tip: Pack light and versatile clothing. A carry-on and a small bag are usually enough, and you can always do laundry along the way.
