Video: Packing for Lisbon in Hand Luggage

I’ve seen a few packing videos doing the rounds by other travel bloggers and I’ve really enjoyed watching them. Feeling inspired I’ve decided to give it a go myself and filmed my packing list for Lisbon. We are spending 7 days in Estoril which is around 30 minutes by train from Lisbon, it is a quite beach town around 2km from Cascais. We are renting an apartment with a pool and plan on fully relaxing with many water based activities. There of course will be some days of exploring Lisbon as well as a trip Sintra.

So taking this in to account here is what I’m packing for Lisbon in order of the video.

Underwear

Pumps

Case: Hand luggage sized suitcase

Not mentioned but also packed

Lonely Planet Portugal guide book, Magazines, Plasters, Paracetamol, iPod & Headphones.

If this trip was more of a city break then I would probably pack a second pair of shorts and a few more tops instead of four dresses and less beach attire. Otherwise this is a pretty standard list of what I’d pack for a weeks Europe trip in summer.

I also said I would take pictures of what I was packing but I didn’t anticipate packing my case up perfectly the minute I finished the video. Needless to say I haven’t unpacked it since and have just one photo of everything packed inside, sorry.
