We always say your interrail packing list should contain the same amount of stuff regardless of whether you’re going for one week or 10. A bold statement perhaps, but having done a lot of travelling, we’re talking from experience. Essentially, you should only pack the bare minimum – interrailing is the perfect time to make traveling light a habit! Don’t worry, if you need to wash something, every hostel has washing facilities, so you won’t be stuck for clean stuff. The only time you might need to change your list is if you’re heading somewhere with a very different climate from the rest of Europe (this packing list is not intended for Scandinavia in winter!).
Sun cream, travel toothbrush and toothpaste, shower gel, basic first aid kit just in case, makeup, microfibre towel (they dry so much quicker than normal ones!) & hand sanitiser.
Euroventure travel pack & Interrail Pass if applicable, passport, photocopy of your passport kept somewhere else, any other tickets, GHIC Card, a padlock, money and a couple of bank cards, list of family/friend telephone numbers and insurance details.
Sunglasses, phone & portable charger, headphones, travel adapter, neck pillow for long journeys, small combination padlock for hostel lockers, ear plugs (mainly if you love your sleep and you’re staying in dorms), water bottle & small bag for daytrips.
