Summer is the perfect time to take a vacation, and for those who love the Club scene, there’s nowhere better to enjoy nightlife than Europe. Cities like Paris, London, and Berlin are all known around the world for their wild club culture, something so unique it has to be experienced firsthand to be believed. However, before you hit the clubs, make sure you’re packing these essential accessories that will keep the party going all night long. 

A smartphone: The skinny jeans and wristlets you usually sport to the club may not be ideal for holding a cell phone, but that doesn’t mean you should leave home without yours this summer. Instead of leaving your phone in your hotel room, make sure to bring it with you so you can order a car home at the end of the night, use your Apple Wallet to pay for a post-club snack, or drop a pin so your friends can find you if you’ve wandered off.   

A fitness tracker: Sure, it’s not exactly a trip to the gym, but an evening spent dancing around in the club can still burn plenty of calories. Before you head out for the evening, pop on your Fitness Tracker and see if you don’t just meet your steps goal for the day. 

Noise cancelling in-ear headphones: Even if your whole purpose in heading out to a club is to hear music, if you find yourself standing a little too close to the speakers, you’re likely to wake up with aching ears in the morning. To combat the super-loud music (or help ignore any creepy fellow club-goers you don’t feel like talking to), bring a pair of in-ear noise cancelling headphones with you and you can keep enjoying yourself, no matter how noisy the night gets.   

A charging pack: One of the biggest problems plaguing club-goers is the dreaded low battery signal on their phone that magically appears after one too many numbers exchanged, selfies, or posts to Snapchat. Before you head out to the club, make sure you’ve got a fully-charged battery pack with you; even if you don’t have room for a brick of a battery in your purse, charging tassels attached to your key chain can solve the same problem while looking chic. 

NYC it’s not unlikely that you’ll wish you had just headed out in your sneakers by the time the night is over. Fortunately, packing a pair of flats doesn’t have to mean you have to tote around a huge purse all night; companies like Fast Flats and Rothy’s have made comfortable, packable shoes that you’ll be so glad you brought after a long night out in your stilettos. 

You can’t plan every detail of your trip overseas, but making sure you have the right accessories on hand will make all the difference in how much fun you have. With a bag stocked with these accessories, you’ll be ready for whatever the evening has in store.
