Summer holidays are approaching and you are now counting down the days until your departure! But before you arrive on the island or in your favourite European city, there’s a basic list of things you need to check off so you can leave feeling calm and organised.

From luggage and necessary documents, to taking care of your car and parking it until your return, we’ve gathered everything you shouldn’t forget before you start your summer trip.

1. Documents and bookings

Tickets and reservation numbers for the plane, ferry or hotel
ID cards or passports for the whole family
Travel insurance

Extra tip: Make sure you also have digital copies of all documents on your mobile or cloud storage. They can be a lifesaver in case of loss.

2. Suitcases and gadgets

Clothes and shoes for every occasion
All the essentials for the beach: Swimwear, beach towels, sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and flip-flops
First aid kit with basic painkillers, antihistamines, repellents, etc.
Chargers, power bank and headphones

Extra tip: Make a list of the days of your stay and what you need per day. It will definitely save you from confusion or overdoing it.

3. The house essentials

Before you leave, turn off or unplug all electronics or appliances
Empty rubbish and clear the fridge of food that is in danger of spoiling
Ask a neighbor or friend to take a look while you are away

4. Travel and parking arrangements
