The Essential Packing List for holland

No matter when you are visiting, if your electronics don’t come with a plug for a type F or type C outlet, an adapter cannot be excluded from your packing list for Holland. I recommend getting a travel adapter with type F adapter support because it allows type F plugs to be grounded. A type C plug is practically the same but is not grounded. Both are compatible with the same type of plugs, but since type F is grounded, it’s safer. I recommend ordering this travel adapter from Amazon, it’s cheap and can be used on virtually any type of outlet, so you will be able to use it on all your future trips as well.

You can find almost anything you’d need to know on your phone – it probably takes pictures too! Needless to say, a charged phone is essential. This power bank is able to charge my iPhone about 7 times on a single charge. Incredibly convenient, and a must-have for long day-trips.

You’re bound to encounter rain. Don’t let that ruin your trip though: bring a good, lightweight, and breathable rain jacket. One of my absolute favorites is this Gore-Tex jacket by Arc’teryx. It’s definitely a high-end option, probably one of the best raining jackets available, although this option from The North Face is a great multi-purpose jacket. Depending on the months and season, you may want to bring different layers and style of clothing.

Judging from the average temperatures displayed in the graph above, it may seem like the average temperature in the summer isn’t too hot, however, Holland has had some scorching summers in recent years. In 2019, the hottest temperature recorded was above 39°C/102°F, so Holland can definitely get very hot. Nevertheless, there’s even a high chance of rain in the summer, therefore I’d recommend including a rainjacket or at least a small travel umbrella on your packing list for Holland.
