Mini Break Packing Tips for a City Escape in Barcelona (What I Always Take!)

I spent the long weekend getting ready for our annual trip to Barcelona – Simon's off to the Seafood Show, and I get a few blissful days to myself.

Today I’m sharing how I pack for a city mini break, including my must-have suitcase setup, essential items I never travel without, and a few tried-and-tested tips from years of travelling. I don’t pack light, but I pack smart – from my favourite expandable case to my beauty routine on the go. I’ve also included a printable checklist to help you pack like I do.

Watch the video to see exactly how I pack and what comes with me. I'll be taking you along in Friday’s vlog to show what I actually wear, my skincare in action, and how I unwind in one of my favourite cities.

Love, Charlie x
