Austria – What to Pack – Clothing and Supplies Tips

Austria What to Pack

Austria takes you high into the mountains for stunning views and takes you into Vienna, one of the largest cities in Europe. When you decide what clothing and supplies to pack for your visit, keep these tips in mind.

Luggage

Whether you’re staying for a short period of time or a long while, luggage options from carry-ons to backpacks are key for Austria.

Seasonal Clothing to Pack for Austria

The clothing you should bring along depends heavily on when you plan your trip. Layers work the best for all seasons, as you can dress up or down depending on the current weather conditions. In general, early spring, late fall and winter are cold weather seasons so make sure you bring plenty of warm clothing. Waterproof jackets and gloves are a must. During late spring and summer, you get to enjoy a temperate climate. Bring along a light jacket for the cooler nights, but the days are a pleasant temperature. If you’re going hiking, make sure to include hiking boots and outdoor clothing.

Clothes to Pack

Rain Gear

Austria gets a good amount of rainfall throughout all the seasons, so keep a rain jacket on hand so you don’t end up soaked. A travel size umbrella is another handy item to add to the packing list.

Water Bottle

You’re going to spend a lot of time walking around the cities of Austria or exploring the mountainside. Keep a water bottle on hand at all times so dehydration doesn’t cut a day of exploration short.

Walking Poles

Are you planning on hiking around the scenic trails available in Austria? Walking poles are an invaluable companion to your journey, as they let you go further than you’d be able to without their assistance. They might be a bit bulky to pack in your bags, but you’re going to appreciate having them around once you’re going up the mountainside.

Guidebooks and Maps

Don’t miss the best parts of Austria. Maps and guidebooks help you find the best places to eat, hang out and explore. If you get lost, you can put yourself on the right path with the help of a handy map.
