For all the exploration that you will do, it's good to carry a water bottle, sunscreen and sunglasses.

A travel adapter again is a must to charge your phone and camera and not feel disappointed with the plug points. For all the long plane or bus rides, it's good to have headphones to enjoy good music or an e-reader to pass time reading books. Lastly, some Euros and all the important documents are the essentials to pack for your Europe tour packages.
