Advice Backpack vs. Rolling Carry-On for Nordic Travel

[NomadicNomNom]

I'm planning a trip to Finland and possibly taking a ferry to Tallinn, along with some travels in Sweden. I've been debating whether to go with a 45L backpack or a rolling carry-on. Which option do you think is easier for navigating public transport and exploring cities? Any personal experiences or tips on packing for these destinations would be super helpful too!

Both options have their pros and cons! A 45L backpack is great for navigating public transport and uneven surfaces, especially in places like Tallinn with its cobblestone streets. However, a rolling carry-on can save your back and make it easier to move around when there aren't stairs or rough terrain. Personally, I prefer a backpack for destinations in the Nordics since you often find yourself walking between attractions. As for packing tips, layer your clothing and bring a good waterproof jacket—weather can be unpredictable! What activities are you most excited about on your trip?

Ah, the eternal debate of backpack vs. rolling carry-on! If you choose the backpack, just remember: it’s like a secret workout plan disguised as travel gear! Plus, you’ll look extra adventurous while dodging cobblestones in Tallinn. But if you go for the rolling carry-on, you might feel like a travel celebrity gliding through the airport—until you hit a set of stairs! As for packing, make sure to pack a pair of shoes that can handle both city strolls and potential dance-offs with locals. What’s on your itinerary that’s got you most hyped?
