Picturesque Europe: A Traveler's Guide to Luggage Restrictions

As you prepare for your upcoming trip to picturesque Europe, it's essential to understand the luggage restrictions that will ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway or a family vacation, being aware of the size and weight limits of your baggage can make all the difference.

According to our travel guidelines, each guest is allowed one suitcase no larger than 30” x 18” x 10” and weighing no more than 50 pounds. It's crucial to test the weight of your luggage before traveling to ensure you can comfortably lift and transport it for short distances. This will also give you peace of mind knowing that your driver, hotel porters, or tour guides can easily handle your suitcase throughout your vacation.

When it comes to carry-on bags, there are some specific rules to keep in mind. While a soft-sided daypack, purse, backpack, tote bag, or similar item is permitted as a 'carry-on,' small rolling suitcases with telescopic handles are not allowed for safety reasons. Additionally, due to the large windows on our tour coaches, there's limited space to store large items securely overhead or under seats.

It's also important to note that our definition of a 'carry-on bag' differs from those used by airlines. When traveling by coach, you're restricted to one piece per person not exceeding 12” x 11” x 6”. This means you'll need to prioritize what essentials to bring along for the journey.

To avoid any inconvenience during your trip, we recommend checking with your chosen airline or tour operator for specific baggage allowance details prior to travel. By doing so, you can ensure a stress-free and enjoyable experience in picturesque Europe.

As you plan your itinerary, be sure to explore the rich history and culture of this beautiful region. From paella recipe origins and wine pairings to Scotland's Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, there's no shortage of exciting experiences awaiting you. And with our luggage restrictions in mind, you'll be well-prepared for a memorable trip to picturesque Europe.
