Need wardrobe tips

RebeccaRyan

Hi all, my husband and I will be going on the Danube River cruise in late September. Expecting the temperatures to be in the high 60s. Does anyone have any tips for wardrobe choices for the walking tours? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Rebecca.

Definitely look at the weather to see what it will really be. I was in this part of the world a couple of years ago at the same time as you. We also did a sightseeing nighttime cruise on the Danube in Budapest. It is definitely colder on the water.

My list for sightseeing: Layers. Patagonia nano puff, scarf/pashmina jeans/pants/skirt, Patagonia capilene top, merino crew neck sweater. Hat, sunglasses. Great walking shoes. If rain and or wind is in forecast: gortex coat/shell to go over the nano puff. It can be very windy and I find goretex breathes, wind and water resistant. I love Patagonia for its weights, quality and wicking abilities.

Wow,I don’t even wear such clothing here in the North east. Do be prepared for warm weather too, but of course layering options are important. Hoping the river level has improved by then.

A versatile, mix and match wardrobe works for us. Layering will prepare you for changes in weather. Merino wool and cashmere are staples in my travel wardrobe. They are light, offer superb warmth and can be dressed up with a few accessories. We have rain jackets with hoods and removable linings. Sturdy shoes with good traction are imperative in my opinion.

Whether to dress up a bit for some of the dinners is very much a personal choice. If your tour includes a “gala” evening out, you can always check the venue’s website and decide then. Same holds true for dining on your own pre/post tour. My husband always takes a suit jacket—his choice. Sewing is a hobby of mine, so I like to take simple dresses, dress slacks and short-waisted jackets—my choice.

As mentioned, check the 10-day outlook as your trip approaches and adjust your packing accordingly.
