Packing Tips for Shoulder Season Travel

Shoulder season is magical, but packing for it can be tricky. The weather swings between warm days and chilly evenings, and if you’re not prepared, you’ll either freeze or overheat.

Here are a few packing strategies to nail it every time:

1. Layers Are King:  Pack versatile items like light sweaters, scarves, and jackets. They keep you warm when temperatures dip and can be shed when it heats up.

2. Comfortable Shoes: You’ll likely be walking more (less waiting in lines = more exploring). A pair of sneakers plus one dressy option will do.

3. Weather-Proof Gear: Shoulder season often brings surprise rain showers. A compact umbrella or waterproof jacket will save you.

4. Day Bag Essentials: Carry sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and a light scarf all-season items that adapt to changing conditions.

Extra Tip: Always check local weather before you go. Shoulder season varies from region to region.
