What To Wear In Germany In Summer (+ Packing List!)
Germany is one of my favourite countries, and somewhere I try to visit every year. Summer is the best time to visit Germany. There’s something about enjoying a fresh German beer in the sunshine that’s unlike anything else.
Having been to Germany so many times, I’ve got packing for a summer trip here down to a tee.
Clothing
The essential clothing items you’ll want to pack for a trip to Germany in summer include:
- Underwear
- Socks
- Trainers
- Pyjamas
- Shorts
- Dresses
- T-Shirts
You may also want to bring a light jacket and a raincoat, just in case. The nights can be chilly, and just because it’s summer doesn’t mean you won’t experience rain.
When it comes to shoes, I recommend trainers. However, you may also want to bring some sandals. Keep in mind that you’ll likely be walking 10,000 steps daily, so they’ll want to be comfortable.
If you’re heading to the beach (yes, Germany has beaches), remember to pack swimwear.

The essential accessories and extras you’ll want to bring on a trip to Germany include:
- Purse / Wallet / Money
- Small First Aid Kit
