Documents
- Passport or national ID card: casinos check photo ID at the door
- Hotel and travel confirmations, saved offline
- A payment card that works abroad
Evening wear
Historic casinos often expect smart dress in the table-game rooms after dark, and some still ask men for a jacket. One smart outfit covers casino evenings and dinners out.
Daytime and spa
- Swimwear, for hotel pools, thermal baths and lake jetties
- Comfortable walking shoes, as most resort towns are best explored on foot
- A light layer: lake and coastal evenings can be cool
Money
Decide on your casino budget before you leave and bring only that for the tables. Leaving the rest of your cards in the hotel safe makes it easier to stick to your limit.
Leave at home
Bulky camera gear: photography is generally not allowed in gaming rooms, so a phone is enough for the rest of the trip.
