Jetting off to Prague, London or Barcelona and wondering what you should pack? Unlike beach escapes where you can throw a few bikinis and a pair of flip flops in a case, city holidays need a carefully considered wardrobe.

City breaks are often more action-packed than beach breaks. With the wrong clothing, your trip could be a disaster — blisters and sunburn anyone? Thought not! We are here to help — take a look at our essential city break packing checklist.

We are all creatures of habit to some degree.  We keep our keys and sunglasses in certain places so that we don't have to look for them. We file e-mails and documents in specific folders. We prepare shopping lists.  We handle the simplest tasks without thinking, such as brushing our teeth before going to bed at night, walking the dog after dinner, and cleaning the bathrooms every Friday morning.
