City break: what to pack
A city break is two or three days of walking, so the best kit is light, secure and easy on your feet. Most people can do a weekend in one under-seat bag, which avoids paying for a cabin bag on budget airlines.
The kit list
Cities are also where pickpockets work. A bag that zips shut and sits in front of you, a slim card holder and a hidden pouch for the passport mean you can relax in crowds and on busy metros.
Comfortable feet decide how much you see. Good socks and cushioned insoles make a big difference after 20,000 steps on stone streets.

Questions
Can I do a city break with only an under-seat bag?
For two or three nights, yes. Use packing cubes, wear your heaviest shoes and jacket on the plane, and buy toiletries there if they are bulky.
