This city is located very close to the Alps. The climate is often rainy. Do you have a brilliant idea to grab your family in a hired car and take them for a picnic, don’t forget a raincoat? Remember, a perfectly sunny day can suddenly change for a downpour. Even in the heat of the summer, an umbrella is A MUST.

Clothes

 

What clothes pack for Germany?

As you already know, the weather in Munich can be unpredictable. The best strategy for clothes is packing layers. How many days are you going to stay in Germany? For a week you need 4-5 different layers on the condition that you will do laundry twice a week and have something in reserve.

Munich is a noisy city full of bars and nightclubs. No doubt, you may need to bring a dress to go out. Traveling by a hired car you’ll have more space for luggage so that you can take a pair of elegant shoes to finish it off.

Lower body

  • Lower body needs high-quality shorts, trousers, and skirts made of natural materials. By the way, when travelling in a hot season it is better to take clothes made of light materials. 

 

  • Even if you prefer skirts or shorts to trousers, you’d better pack at least one pair of light-weight pants. Why? Wear them to protect your legs while touring the mountains, woods.

 

  • Pack warm items for winter. Cold German weather needs warm and comfortable clothing. Even when traveling by hired car, you’d better have a pair or two of jeans so that you will always look good and feel comfortable, in the car or on the street.

Upper body

  • Layered clothes suppose having a couple of light shirts and T-shirts in your valise. Also, it would be great to have a couple of light long-sleeved tops for cold weather. If you hire a car to go to the countryside, a light long-sleeved pajama is a must.

 

  • Traveling in winter or cold autumn you may need a coat or a warm jacket. Of course, you may not need to wear a coat in a hired car or in a plane. But you badly need it during your trip.

 

  • It seems obvious to buy a high-quality base layer. You can’t travel without a base layer top and thermal tight in the coldest weather. The top is unnoticed under a shirt or sweater and provides excellent warmth and comfort.

Underwear

Your underwear can be both, cheap or expensive, whatever. It might help you to stay cool in the summer and also avoid chafing. Think of your comfort and pick the best variant according to the season.

Footwear

Germany is extremely interesting for walking. You are mistaken if you think that you will walk less than usual, spending most of your time in your hired car. You need to buy a pair of good footwear to keep your feet comfortable and in good condition.

During the summer, you’d better take a pair of light breathable sandals. Forget about flip-flops. They can’t protect your feet from dust and corns.

If you prefer sports style you can wear trainers or sneakers. Make sure they are good quality and breathing materials.
