What to pack for Copenhagen in November

Lows around 41°F. Goes under the shell when the wind picks up.

Wear one, dry one. Cotton stays wet all week here.

The layer you'll wear more than any other.

Wind hits 26 km/h and the low sits at 41°F, so a beanie stops heat loss from your head.

Water reflects UV even on gray days, and 8.3 hours of daylight means glare on the canals.

Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.

Eleven rain days in November mean wet feet and minor cuts, so carry bandages and antibiotic ointment.

This country runs on Type C, E, F or K. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.

Eight hours of daylight means your phone dies before sunset if you navigate and photograph constantly.

Set it up before you land. Signal drops for long stretches outside cities.

Dark by 5:00pm. Every campsite chore after that is a two-hands job.

Overhead bins on flights to Copenhagen fill fast, so a 35-45L bag fits without checking.

Walking is how you see the city; a daypack holds layers you shed as you move between sights.

Fits the overhead on every airline that matters. Skip the checked-bag line entirely.

For the passport, the chargers, and the one dry pair of socks.

Wind at 26 km/h cuts across your face during the eight hours of daylight.

Tap water is safe, but carrying a bottle saves money and keeps you hydrated on long walking days.

One brick charges the laptop, phone, and camera.

Hotel and cafe wifi is shared with everyone else in the building. A VPN keeps your banking and email to yourself.

International travel through a major airport means your bag passes through many hands.

Humidity at 85% means damp clothes, so packing cubes separate dry items from wet ones.

Lows around 41°F. One blanket that packs small covers the car, the campsite and the beach at sunset.

Trains to other cities are loud, and the constant wind makes quiet moments valuable.

The UV index is low but the water and pale November sun still burn exposed lips.

Public transit in a city of this size moves crowds through close quarters.

One outlet per guesthouse is standard; short cables let you charge multiple devices from a single socket.

A few phrases go a long way. Ten minutes a day before you leave is plenty.

Border crossings within the EU still require your passport at checkpoints.

Luggage locks secure your bag on shared transport and in hostels.

A hanging toiletry bag drains water and uses the shower rod instead of counter space.
