5 Essential Items You Shouldn’t Forget to Pack Before Flying to Washington DC This Fall

 All set to witness the cherry blossom trees on your trip to DC?

One of the best times to visit Washington DC is during fall. And if you’re planning to visit the capital this year, you’re in for a treat. However, while it's super fun to plan out a trip, there’s a slight chance that you may forget to pack some essentials amidst the excitement.

To make it easier for you, we’ve listed down the items you shouldn’t forget to keep in your bags!

Let's get the bags packin’!

A Pair of Boots

There’s so much to explore in DC that you’ll find yourself constantly on the go. It's important to keep a comfortable pair of shoes. You’ll mostly be walking to explore so a comfortable pair of shoes will make it easier for you to stroll.

An Umbrella and a Water-Resistant Jacket

It rains a lot during the fall season in DC. Hence, you should ideally pack a portable umbrella and a waterproof jacket with you.

A Backpack for the Trails

A small backpack will make it easier for you to carry all the essential items and explore the city. You can add everyday essentials to it like water and sunscreen. Also, hey, don’t forget the snacks.

Casual and Formal Dresses

Washington is a diverse city. At times you need to have a sophisticated look, and during other times you can just be in a chic hip-hop outfit.

 

Don't forget to keep some nice fancy dresses for formal dinners. However, for exploring and sightseeing, casuals like jeans and button-downs would be ideal.

 

Some trendy and formal outfits will help you blend in well with the locals.

A Digital or Polaroid Camera

You wouldn’t want to miss out on taking pictures to save your memories for a  lifetime. Capture your memories at the museums and during sightseeing!

Checklist of Essentials

This includes sunscreen, deodorants, wet wipes, a power bank, and your cell phone chargers, of course.

Let's take a look at what you shouldn't pack:

· Don’t pack too many clothes

· It's not advisable to carry a lot of cash with you

· Washington has a more formal dress code, thus don’t pack overly casual clothes

If you’re looking to store your luggage somewhere while you explore the museums and monuments, we recommend you check Cubby. You can have your luggage stored for only $5.90 per day.

They also provide luggage storage services in New York, Boston, Austin, Houston, Galveston, Fort Worth, Dallas, Las Vegas, Orlando, Atlanta, and San Antonio.
