What can be better than a spontaneous escape for a weekend from your life full of routine? First you need to go through your ultimate weekend packing list for a perfect getaway. Just fetch your bag and head up to the path of the short city adventure!
For some people packing is a pre-play for a great vacation for others it’s torture, because you would like to bring enough things matching to all kinds of scenarios. I believe there is nothing impossible and the key to success is tactical packing.

Clothes for the Weekend Travel Packing List
This is the hardest part for girls, because we would like to take everything that we have in our wardrobes. Unfortunately it’s impossible, so try to choose out of the following items:
- 1 Skirt or dress
- 1 pair of pants
- 2 T-Shirts
- Pullover
- Cardigan or Jacket
Boys, again, lucky you, you won’t have any complications with that:
- 3 shirts
- 1 pair of pants
- Pullover
- Jacket ( depending on the weather of course )
Shoes
There are two options for girls:
- 2 pairs of comfortable shoes
- 1 pair of comfortable shoes + high heels
And only one option for guys, lucky you!
- 1 pair of your favorite sneakers
Accessories
- Sunglasses
- Jewelry
- 1 belt
- 1 scarf
The important aspect that I would like to emphasize, is that you don’t need much for a weekend trip. And even if you will forget something, you can still get it at your destination, by the end it will be a souvenir. Just be careful with essentials, they should be definitely in your bag. Bon voyage!
This is an excellent packing list! I can now go on short trips with your tips like a pro! About the toiletry, do you carry a travel sized bottles or regular ones?
Dear Agnes, thank you for your comment! To be honest I always take regular ones, because I prefer spontaneous trips. Sometimes I also check if hotel provides with all kind of toiletry 🙂
