A weekend in a city is three sleeps if you are unlucky and two if you planned. Pack for walking, one nicer room, and weather you cannot argue with.
The list
- Carry — one personal-item or under-seat bag. See carry-on backpacks if you refuse a roller.
- Clothes — two walking outfits, one evening shirt or dress layer, underwear for nights + 1, socks for days + 1.
- Weather — a packable shell; cities lie about rain.
- Work — laptop in a sleeve the bag actually claims to fit. Charger in a tech pouch.
- Sleep — if the inbound is a red-eye, see plane sleep.
- Toiletries — travel bottles at or under 100 ml.
- Sound — ANC headphones if the train is a character.
We do not add “as seen on” products. If it is not in the ledger, it is not on this list.
