Bigger than a crossbody bag but smaller than a typical backpack, a mini backpack is the perfect hybrid that combines practicality and style. And don’t let the word “mini” deter you from investing in this style because the capacity of some of these bags will certainly surprise you.

We don’t take luggage tests lightly here at Travel + Leisure (or any test for that matter) so we thoroughly researched and identified 21 mini backpacks to try in our New York City lab to start. Then, we continued the assessment by sending out the bags to be further evaluated in everyday settings like flights, commutes, and errand runs. Comfort, durability, design, and capacity were the biggest factors we took into consideration to compile our list of the best mini backpacks and we’re certain one of these bags below can match up with your next adventure.

Best Overall

Paravel mini fold-up backpack.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Durability 5 /5
• Comfort 5 /5

The backpack folds up into a small pouch so it can easily be tossed in a bigger bag.

There are only two pockets for organization.

This uber-portable backpack from Paravel earned its spot as the best mini backpack after scoring highly in design, comfort, and durability in both lab and real-world testing. The mini backpack has a solid capacity for its size and easily fits items like a tablet, a wallet, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, and a small pair of shoes. And, best of all, when the backpack isn’t needed anymore, it folds up into a compact zippered pouch the size of a small wallet so it can be tossed into your personal item or stored at home without taking up much space.

The discreet zippered pocket on the back of this bag is ideal for a passport or cash and there is a small front pocket for keys or chapstick, too. While there could be a few more pockets for organization, most fold-up bags don’t have any at all so it’s better to have two than zero.

Made out of a super lightweight nylon material, the backpack is virtually weightless which lightens your load while packing , and the pack still feels durable against daily wear and tear. The straps are woven nylon that won’t dig into your shoulders and they can easily be adjusted to fit your back and shoulders no matter where your day takes you.

The Details: 12 x 10 x 6 inches (unfolded); 4.5 x 5 x 2 inches (folded) | Recycled nylon

Best Budget

Madison & dakota canvas mini backpack.

• Comfort 4 /5

The main compartment is spacious enough for a water bottle, snacks, books, and a wallet.

The fabric doesn’t have any padding so the backpack might not protect fragile items if it’s tossed around a bit.

If you’re not completely sold on a mini backpack, this bang-for-your-buck Madison & Dakota mini backpack is a great way to test the waters without spending too much. This basic bag has all the necessary components for everyday use including comfortable padded straps, a large main compartment, and a helpful front zippered pocket for smaller items. There is a solid amount of space for storing bulkier items like a water bottle or a lightweight jacket, or you can easily pack it full of smaller items like pens or snacks with plenty of room left over. The polyester material is fairly thin, which means you’ll want to be careful if you’re traveling with a tablet or other fragile items, but the fabric is very lightweight. We love the padded and adjustable straps that make the pack easy to toss onto your shoulders and plenty comfortable. Plus, the tote bag handles on top have a snap closure so the sack can be picked up and carried by hand, which is helpful for going through the TSA security line quickly or hoisting it into an overhead bin.

The Details: 13.5 x 10 x 4 inches | Polyester

Best Anti-theft

Cheruty backpack purse.

The anti-theft design includes discrete pockets for tucking away valuables while traveling.

There is a slight learning curve for opening up the backpack and finding all of the pockets.

Getting your phone, wallet, or passport stolen on vacation can put a real damper on your trip so we recommend the Cheruti Anti-theft Mini Backpack for its thoughtful, anti-theft design. Unlike a typical backpack, this one has a zipper in the back of the bag to open up the main compartment so you’ll never have to check behind your shoulder to make sure the zipper is closed. Inside the bag are a variety of discrete zippered pockets for organizing items like a tablet, passport, wallet, or keys. There isn’t much padding in the back or straps but the PU vegan leather material doesn’t add much weight or feel cumbersome to carry. One unique feature is that this backpack comes with a removable tote strap so you can carry the protective, stylish bag both of those ways, or use the top handles instead.

The Details: 12.6 x 12.6 x 5.9 inches | PU vegan leather | Fits 10-inch tablets

Best Sustainable

Topo designs rover pack mini backpack.

• Durability 4.5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

During our tests, the lightweight recycled nylon material and ample padding made this pack virtually effortless to wear.

The front buckle and drawstring closure make it less convenient to swing the bag around to quickly grab something out.

This rugged mini backpack from Topo Designs is a champion when it comes to comfort, durability, and sustainability. Its 100 percent recycled nylon fabric is dyed from certified dye mills without harmful chemicals and the backpack has a Fair Wear certification for production, ensuring the welfare and safety of garment factory employees. Although the backpack looks small at first glance, the 10-liter capacity can fit a range of small and large items including a tablet in the back slip pocket and lip balm or keys in the small front pocket. Since the top has a buckle and drawstring closure, it’s not as convenient to grab something out of your pack but the double closure does provide peace of mind that your items are tucked away safely while traveling. With adjustable straps for a customized fit and a fully padded back panel, the backpack provides hassle-free comfort whether you’re trekking through the woods or the concrete jungle.

The Details: 13.5 x 8.5 x 3.75 inches | Recycled nylon | 10 liters | Tablet sleeve

Best Classic

Dakine mini backpack.

The larger capacity and traditional design resemble a regular-sized backpack.

The laptop sleeve isn’t padded or zippered.

The 12-liter Dakine Mini Backpack offers a generous capacity for a mini backpack, as it’s able to fit laptops up to 14 inches long. Resembling the style of a typical school backpack, the timeless design makes this bag versatile for running errands or going into the office. The 600-denier recycled polyester material is impressively lightweight without feeling flimsy, and this water-resistant fabric boasts excellent durability designed for long-term use. To keep the contents of the pack safe, the bottom panel is padded for extra protection (especially if you do pack electronics).

While the slip pocket in the back for a laptop or tablet isn’t padded or zippered, all of the contents remained secure despite the backpack being dropped off a counter during lab testing. There isn’t much padding around the backpack but the material is soft enough that the adjustable straps and back panel don’t cause any discomfort while wearing it for long periods of time.

The Details: 15 x 11 x 7 inches | Polyester | 12 liters | 14-inch laptop sleeve

Best for Hiking

The north face borealis mini backpack.

The back panel and straps have an impressive amount of padding for extra comfort while trekking.

The side pocket is slightly awkward since it isn’t quite big enough for a water bottle.

If the outdoors are calling, you’ll want to be prepared with all of your hiking essentials in North Face’s comfortable and lightweight Borealis mini backpack. Whether you’re packing items like a beanie, neck gaiter, or even a lightweight layer, the front compression straps help keep items packed tightly so they won’t shuffle around while on the trail. Although we found the side pocket is a bit too small to fit a water bottle, there is plenty of space in the main compartment for a bottle and you can easily use the side pocket for a phone or other small items you want to quickly access.

The best part of this athletic-style backpack is the thick and breathable padding on the back panel and adjustable straps as that adds impressive comfortability for wearing the pack for long periods of time. And, if you want to use this bag for non-outdoor related activities, there are a variety of interior pockets for tech like a tablet sleeve and slot for phone chargers.

The Details: 13.5 x 8.6 x 4.15 inches | Recycled polyester | 10 liters

Best for Commuters

Bellroy classic backpack compact.

• Design 4.5 /5

This style has a variety of useful pockets for a laptop, tablet, phone, notebook, and more.

It can be a little tricky to open up the main compartment because the zipper is hidden under a hooded cover.

Heading into the office? Bellroy’s mini backpack has all the organization you need without the hassle of lugging a bulky bag around. Designed with ample storage for technology, the laptop sleeve is ideal for a computer 13 inches or smaller and there is a super convenient top pocket for a phone, too. For tablets or eReaders, there is a small slip pocket on the front of the laptop sleeve so you can pack this bag up with everything you need for work or school.

When you’re packing up tech, you’ll likely need a spot for chargers or other accessories, so we love the spacious mesh pocket for storing smaller items since you can easily see the items tucked away in that spot. While the main zipper can be a little tricky to locate because of the edged fabric that hides the zipper, it gets easier to locate the more the bag is used. Come rain or shine, this comfortable, padded backpack is made with durable, water-resistant recycled fabric so you won’t have to worry about the pack getting damaged whether you commute via bike, train, car, or on foot.

The Details: 15.7 x 10.2 x 7 inches | 16 liters | 13-inch laptop sleeve

Best Splurge

Dagne dover dakota backpack.

Dagne Dover

The neoprene material is lightweight, water-resistant, and feels super premium.

Dust and dirt cling onto the material easily but it does come with a drawstring bag for storage.

The sporty Dagne Dover Small Dakota Backpack is made with a sleek, plush neoprene material that feels ultra high-end and is a signature of the brand's best bags . From the gym to a restaurant, this versatile mini backpack has an impressive enough capacity for a small grocery haul, a lightweight jacket, or large 32-ounce water bottle. When it comes to comfort, this backpack truly shined throughout all of our tests thanks to its thick neoprene that adds extra cushioning in the back panel and straps so, no matter how heavy a load is, the bag didn't dig into our shoulders. Plus, the wide-tooth zipper glides like a champ even when the backpack is filled to the brim.

The pockets proved to be perfect for storing a variety of items, especially the discrete front panel pocket and slip pocket for a tablet. The key leash in the main compartment makes it easy to locate your keys without having to dig around and, when you get home from running errands, the backpack comes with a storage bag to prevent dust or dirt from clinging onto the backpack.

The Details: 13 x 9.5 x 5 inches | Neoprene | 8 liters

Travel + Leisure / Jhett Thompson

Best Organization

Aotian mini nylon backpack.

There are just the right amount of pockets to stay naturally organized without it feeling too intricate.

This is one of the smallest mini backpacks we tested.

It’s not always easy to stay organized on the go but thanks to the plethora of pockets built into the Aotian Mini Nylon Backpack, it’s easier than ever to find a spot for everything. There are three different-sized compartments for storing a variety of everyday essentials. Working back to front, the largest compartment can hold bigger items (like a tablet up to 10 inches long) in a handy slip pocket and the middle compartment is best for medium-sized items like a wallet, deodorant, or charger. Although the front pocket is the smallest, it’s ideal for miniature items including lip balm or a roll-on perfume stick. The straps are made out of sturdy nylon fabric and they can quickly be adjusted while you head out the door. This was one of the smallest backpacks we tried but it still packs a punch with a generous capacity, durable nylon exterior, and polyester lining that showed no signs of damage after a lab test and real-world testing.

The Details: 12 x 9.4 x 4 inches | Polyester, nylon | 10-inch tablet sleeve

Other Mini Backpacks We Liked

Of the 21 mini backpacks we tested, the ones below almost made our list but they ultimately fell short during testing due to slight issues with comfort, durability, and capacity.

Itzy Ritzy Mini Diaper Bag : This spacious bag has stylish gold hardware and it’s functional for being out of the house with kids thanks to the removable changing pad. However, the straps aren’t very comfortable due to a lack of padding and metal buckles that rest awkwardly on the chest when adjusted.

Adidas Linear Mini Backpack : This sporty bag is very lightweight and comfortable to wear, making it the perfect pack for the gym but the other athletic and outdoorsy bags we tested had a few more pockets for organization. 

Herschel Supply Co. Mini Backpack : This compact backpack is a very cute style and shape, with plenty of color options to choose from. However, the front pocket zipper is covered by a security flap that makes it too difficult to get things in and out of an already very small pocket.

Carhartt Mini Backpack : Spacious and super durable, this canvas Carhartt mini pack certainly lives up to the brand’s reputation for durability and ruggedness. However, the straps are made out of nylon without any padding so they weren’t the most comfortable, and we wish there were a few more pockets for storage. 

T+L researched and identified 21 mini backpacks in a variety of shapes and sizes (all miniature, of course) and began by testing each pack in our New York City lab. Then, we sent the backpacks out into the world for further evaluation in everyday settings like running errands, commuting, and traveling via airplane, train, or car.

In the lab, we examined the design of each pack by looking at every pocket, zipper, and buckle to get a feel for the materials. Then, we loaded up the bags with essentials like wallets, lip balms, keys, small water bottles, extra shirts, and hand sanitizer to judge the capacity. At the end of lab testing, we tossed the packs off of a counter to see how durable they were, and if the contents packed inside remained safe while being tossed around.

While lab testing was helpful to take a magnifying glass to each pack, we continued using the mini backpacks in day-to-day life to get the most well-rounded testing notes. We used the bags for gym visits, grocery store trips, flights, and more to continue judging the comfort, durability, design, and capacity. After all of the testing was complete, the backpacks noted as having generous padding for comfort, spacious interiors that are intuitive to pack, and durable materials that will stand the test of time earned the highest average scores overall.

Tips for Buying a Mini Backpack

Look for pockets for organization.

One of the best things about a mini backpack is that it should provide a bit more space and storage solutions than a purse. To stay naturally organized while out and about, look for a bag with multiple compartments, interior pockets, and exterior pockets, too. If you like to travel with a tablet or laptop, search for a small backpack with a sleeve that will fit the dimensions of your device.

Padding equals more comfort

Mini backpacks are generally lighter in weight due to their smaller size (which helps when wearing the bag for long periods of time), but the best way to prioritize comfort is by investing in a pack with lots of padding. The back panel and straps should have cushioned or thick fabric to prevent digging in and other discomfort. In addition, more padding can also protect the contents of your bag from being damaged in case of falls or rough handling.

The typical size of a regular backpack is about 20 to 25 liters so anything less than 20 liters is on the smaller side. In general, a mini backpack will have a capacity of 8 to 16 liters with most sitting at around 12 liters. The typical dimensions of a mini backpack will be near 12 x 10 x 5 inches, give or take a few inches.

Mini backpacks might surprise you with the amount they can hold. While it ultimately depends on the capacity and dimensions of your specific backpack, you should have no issues fitting essentials like a wallet, lip balm, earbuds, a phone charger, and keys. Other larger items you may be able to fit include a tablet, small laptop, lightweight jacket, and a water bottle.

Looking for the best travel backpacks in Australia?

We recently acquired a new travel backpack for our family’s adventures. As there are numerous options, we spent quite some time researching the top travel backpack brands. I perused many travel backpack reviews to determine which backpacks would suit our family’s present requirements.

After years of experience travelling, I understand it’s crucial to contemplate a few things before impulsively purchasing a pack. First, consider who will carry the backpack, what items will it hold, and whether you need a laptop backpack to protect your device or if a budget-friendly travel backpack will suffice.

Comfort is another significant aspect; the finest travel bags are typically lightweight and fit your back and shoulders snugly, so you can travel without fretting about back and neck discomfort. We’re planning a trip to the UK and wanted something comfortable for a longer journey.

To spare you hours of research, I’ve assembled this Australian backpacks guide, which will assist you in answering these questions.

If you’re looking for a comfortable and no-frills backpack, the Kelty Redwing 50 Backpack may be the perfect fit for you. It has a simple design that focuses on providing the utmost comfort to its wearer.

The suspension system of this backpack allows for easy on-body adjustments. You can loosen all the straps before putting on the pack and then tighten them while wearing it to achieve a customized fit.

You can access the main compartment from the top zippered panel or through a larger zippered panel below the compression straps. The back panel is padded and ventilated to ensure you stay cool while carrying the backpack.

The backpack has a padded hydration sleeve that also doubles as a laptop pocket. However, there is no dedicated laptop sleeve. You can also use the deep side panel/pockets to carry tent poles or a fishing rod.

Some reviewers have pointed out the lack of certain features, such as no rain cover pocket at the bottom of the pack, no internal compression straps, and no lockable zippers. However, despite these shortcomings, the Kelty Redwing 50 Backpack still has received excellent ratings, and many users consider it the best 50L backpack in the market.

Osprey Nebula 34 Laptop Backpack Review

Rating : 4.0

Mesh pockets, located on the sides and front and within the organisation pocket, provide quick access and easy visibility.

The suspended mesh ventilated back panel helps keep you cool by creating airflow between the pack and your back. The removable hip belt offers additional versatility.

The hanging padded laptop sleeve keeps your laptop off the ground and close to your back for a more comfortable carry. The Osprey Nebula is an excellent choice for those seeking the best small travel backpack.

Best Carry-On Travel Backpack in Australia 2023

Zomake packable lightweight backpack review.

• Type: Carry-On
• Capacity: 35L
• Weight: 0.3kg
• Dimensions (HxWxD): 33 x 24 x 42 cm

The Zomake Packable Lightweight Backpack is one of the lightest travel backpacks available. It is a foldable backpack designed for travellers who need plenty of space without unnecessary frills.

The bag arrives folded in a small package and unfolds to reveal the entire bag. With a 35L capacity and ultra-lightweight construction, this backpack is ideal for day trips or long weekend getaways. There are four compartments – the front pocket (which the bag folds in/out of), the main compartment, and two front zippered pockets for easy access to accessories.

While there may be concerns about weight distribution in such a lightweight backpack, the bag does a reasonably good job of remaining comfortable, even at its affordable price point. The shoulder straps, though not extremely comfortable, sit nicely. A front buckle secures the straps in place and reduces tension on your shoulders. Unfortunately, a hip strap is not included, which would have helped with weight balance.

The bag can also be somewhat challenging to fold down again. Side pockets for drinks, side buckles for load compression, and space for a laptop are also included. The lightweight design makes it ideal for carry-on, and there are several eye-catching colours to choose from. While not perfect, this bag is a good deal, available at a very low price

Best Travel Backpack for Europe in Australia 2023

Thule alltrail women’s backpack review.

• Type: Main/For Women
• Capacity: 45L
• Weight: 1.4kg
• Dimensions (HxWxD): 62 x 30 x 32 cm

One of the best backpacks for women is the Thule AllTrail Women’s backpack. This bag is designed to be tailored to your individual dimensions, making it exceptionally comfortable for travel.

Women will appreciate the shoulder straps, which are among the best of any bag on the market – thick, sturdy, and high-quality. They feature a unique curved shape, which is better for contouring to your chest. The shoulder straps’ position can be height-adjusted, making it suitable for both short and tall individuals.

The hip strap is made of the same thick material, and one side can be used to add additional accessories (such as a drink bottle or camera holder) with an additional purchase.

The bag is relatively flat when empty and weighs around 1kg. This particular model has a 45L capacity, offering plenty of space. However, the same bag is also available in a 35L model – perfect for those seeking the best carry-on backpack Australia has to offer.

To pack, the bag is opened from the top, and you can easily access items directly from the zippered centre of the bag. Even when packed to capacity, it remains relatively thin. The side can be used to attach hiking accessories, and it is water-resistant with the included rain cover – essential for weathering all conditions. There is also space for a laptop.

Best Travel Backpack for Women in Australia 2023

Osprey women’s aura 50 ag backpack review.

• Type: For Women
• Dimensions (HxWxD): 81 x 36 x 36 cm

The Osprey Women’s Aura 50 AG Backpack is a large pack that has received excellent reviews for its comfort features.

Focusing on creating a comfortable, larger-sized pack for women, Osprey has delivered with the Aura 50. Featuring a trademarked AntiGravity suspension system and a curved design, the Aura 50 effectively transfers weight to the comfortable hip belt. This is crucial for a pack of this size, as you don’t want to be burdened with neck and shoulder pain on the first day of a 10-day trip.

The harness is adjustable while you’re wearing the backpack, and the hip belt has pockets for snacks, phone, or sunscreen. The pack offers plenty of pockets without being confusing, along with compression straps, lockable zippers, and bottom storage for a sleeping bag.

This is a large pack that is thoughtfully designed. If extra space and comfort are high on your priority list, this might be the backpack for you.

Cabin Max® Equator 44L Backpack Review

• Type: Carry On
• Capacity: 44L
• Dimensions (HxWxD): 56 x 23 x 36 cm

The Cabin Max Equator 44L Backpack 2.0 is an upgraded version of the original Equator bag that was well-loved by travelers. This backpack is specifically designed to fit the carry-on restrictions of almost all major airlines, making it the perfect choice for those seeking the best backpack for carry-on.

The backpack features several zippered pockets and compartments. On the front, there are two zippered pockets and one with a D-ring for easy storage of keys. This section can be unclipped from the buckle to reveal a mesh screen, several other pockets, and a hidden pocket for valuables. Additionally, there is a felt pocket specifically designed for storing laptops up to 15 inches.

The main compartment of the bag has a removable dividing panel, allowing for easy organization of your belongings. It offers a vast amount of space with a 44L capacity.

The Cabin Max Equator 44L Backpack 2.0 is easy to carry, with grab handles on both the top and side. The backpack can be packed away like a carry bag when the shoulder straps are removed, making it convenient for travelers.

Comfort is prioritized with the 2.0 model, which has thicker shoulder straps and padded backing for added comfort. The backpack also has strengthened compression straps, room for hiking accessories and drink bottles, and is available in several stylish designs. A thin but appreciated hip strap is also included.

Overall, this Australian backpack is well-constructed and affordable. With a 3-year warranty, there’s very little not to love about the Cabin Max Equator 44L Backpack 2.0. 

Why And When Is It Best To Travel With A Backpack?

The top backpacks in Australia aren’t only for young travellers staying in dormitories. A backpack is suited for various travellers who appreciate the freedom of hands-free movement without having to manoeuvre a cumbersome suitcase.

The best travel backpacks grant you flexibility when you encounter a flight of stairs or arrive at a hotel without an elevator. Additionally, a backpack is ideal for travelling with children, as it lets you keep your hands free to hold a little one’s hand without struggling to wheel a suitcase while ensuring the kids’ safety.

What To Consider When Buying The Best Travel Backpack Australia 2023?

Do you travel light? Are you physically fit? Do you need to carry a laptop or tent on your travels? What other factors should you consider when purchasing?

Travel backpack brands provide backpacks for everyone and every occasion; there isn’t a “one size fits all” backpack.

Whether you’re searching for the top hiking backpack Australia has, the best daypack for travel, or the ultimate backpack for Europe or Asia, it’s essential to take time to identify your backpack requirements and find the perfect one.

Nowadays, purchasing backpacks online is simple (I recommend online shopping for travel backpacks, as it’s generally the most affordable option), but remember to consider size when doing so. If it’s too small, you won’t fit all your family’s belongings; too big, and you might have to check the bag or pay for excess luggage.

It’s also important to think about who will be carrying the backpack. A tall man and a petite woman have very different frames. I suggest aiming to find the best lightweight travel backpack that meets your needs in all other aspects.

Many travellers these days prefer a carry-on backpack Australia has to offer, and there are some fantastic choices for the best carry-on luggage backpack. However, there are equally excellent bags with multiple compartments for those travellers who like to bring a lot of items with them.

When examining the top backpack brands in Australia and their products, consider whether you want a front-loading or top-loading bag. Essentially, this means deciding if you want to access your belongings through the top or the front of the bag. In my opinion, front-loading packs are far more convenient; they resemble a suitcase and typically have various compartments, making it easy to find your items.

Compartments

Speaking of compartments, when searching for the ideal backpack in Australia for you, consider what items you’ll carry and which ones you’ll need to access quickly and frequently. A sleeping bag or change of clothes doesn’t need to be as accessible as a rain cover, phone, camera, passport, tickets or laptop.

Internal compartments are essential for keeping things organised and easy to locate when needed. With many travellers taking various gadgets with them, there are excellent packs on the market with compartments designed to keep these items safe.

For instance, if you’re taking your laptop, you may want to consider the best laptop backpack Australia offers. In the reviews below, there are some fantastic options if you’re looking for the top laptop backpack for travel. These packs have compartments designed to keep your laptop secure and easily accessible while travelling.

Comfort is crucial when purchasing the best backpack for travel, and ergonomics are a priority for designers, which means the highest-quality backpacks come with comfortable straps.

A good strap system will distribute the backpack’s weight across your back, with most of the weight resting on your hips via the hip belt. Some of the best backpacks for travelling feature pockets in the hip belt for snacks or small phones.

Consider padding, breathable fabric, removability, adjustability, stowability for plane travel, and pocket availability when looking at straps.

Backpack straps are adjustable around the hips, shoulders, and even across the chest to keep the shoulder straps in place, regardless of body shape.

Other Key Features

Key features for outdoor travelling include water-resistant fabric, quick access to a rain cover, water, and snacks. If you plan to use it daily for work, study or commuting, a reflective strip or the option to attach a blinking light might be important for you.

There is no single “best backpack in the world”; it must suit your needs. Keep this in mind when choosing and try not to be dazzled by features.

Laptop/Other Gadget Compartments

If you travel with a laptop, look for a pack with a built-in laptop compartment. These compartments have padded sleeves designed to keep your laptop safe and secure while travelling.

Other packs have specific compartments for mobile phones, keys, passports, tickets, and cameras.

Carry Handles

Carry handles offer additional versatility. They mean you don’t always have to wear your backpack on your back; you may be able to stow your straps and carry it like a traditional suitcase. Carry handles also help when placing your bag in overhead plane lockers and on buses.

Water Resistance

Water-resistant fabric is a great feature for a backpack. It’s one less thing to worry about if it starts raining or if you accidentally spill something on your backpack. It gives you extra time to find shelter or grab your rain cover, ensuring your backpack and its contents are protected.

Hi, Being in the market for a new travelling backpack I read your recent review and thought that it had narrowed the field nicely. The Cabin Max Equator seemed just the thing. However, after searching, these don't appear to be available in Australia. Are you aware of any Australian distributor of Cabin Max? Regards Duncan

The Aussie Tourist

Hi Duncan, I agree it's a really good option. It does go in and out of availability on amazon so I would recommend to keep checking. We purchased the Nomadic recently and although it was really expensive we haven't regretted it so thats another good choice if you can justify the price. Cheers

Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack, Wild Earth, from $374.62

• Weight :  1587g
• Capacity:  35 litres
• Laptop compartment: Yes
• Hip belt:  Yes

One for the intrepid traveller, Escape's Associate Digital Editor Simone Mitchell cannot rave about Cotopaxi enough.

"I came across a Cotopaxi store when I was in Tokyo and the bold colours grabbed my attention," says Simone. "I have since purchased a duffel bag , bum bag , backpack and hat, and am a huge huge fan. Their bag design is super smart with good size pockets, comfy straps, and robust zips. I get so many comments on it whenever I take it travelling."

Of your options, the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L stands out as one of its best travel backpacks. Designed in a suitcase style, it's subdivided into zippered mesh compartments, so you can kiss your packing cubes goodbye. The padded laptop sleeve is accessed by a side zip and the shoulder straps and waist belt can be tucked away to reduce snags.

To top that off there's a sternum strap and air mesh panel for a better, more comfortable, fit.

What's more, the bags are sustainably made using fabric cut offs that were originally destined for landfill and the company dedicates a percentage of revenues to nonprofits working to improve the human condition.

Herschel Little America Backpack 30L, The Iconic, from $200

• Weight :  1 kilograms
• Capacity: 30 litres
• Hip belt:  No

Herschel is one of Escape List Editor  David Smiedt 's  favourite carry-on luggage brands , and is a beautiful blend of style and sustainability. The Little America line of travel bags gets its inspiration from mountaineering backpacks and is made of recycled weave and leather-look closures.

Available in 20L, 25L and 30L capacities, it's smaller than a cabin size bag and soft enough to squeeze under the chair in front.

The 15" laptop sleeve is a fleece lined to prevent dings and scratches and the shoulder straps are thickly padded for support.

Boondocker Recycled 26L Backpack, Passenger Clothing, $134.95

• Weight :  718g
• Capacity: 26 litres

This chameleon of a travel bag is one of Escape writer James Booth's favourites. "It fits a laptop and plenty of clothes and also works for day hikes" he says.

For the sustainable traveller, it's made from 100 per cent recycled polyester with a tough 600D water resistant outer to keep your valuables safe.

There's air mesh padded shoulder straps for long walks, and a seemingly endless number of compartments, including a main compartment, internal mesh accessory pocket, top pocket, front pocket and laptop sleeve.

Best lightweight travel backpack

Osprey Ultralight Stuff Back, Wild Earth, $65.95

• Weight:  113.4g
• Capacity:  18 litres

This ultralight travel backpack comes in at a teeny 113.4 grams and is constructed from a thin but strong 40D Ripstop Nylon material that crushes down into a carry-case the size of your fist.

A stretchy mesh side pocket fits a water bottles and the shoulder straps come with some mesh cushioning for comfort.

Over 2,700 Amazon reviews give it an average rating of 4.6 with customers saying, "it's feather light and stuffs into its own pocket" and "lightweight, versatile, tough/great quality! My favourite bag".

After road testing it Pack Hacker was impressed by its weight and durability, though warns that due to its packable nature it lacks structure and "feels flimsy at the back".

Best affordable travel backpack

Amazon Basics Carry On Travel Backpack, Amazon, from $69.90

• Weight : Around 3.5 kilograms
• Capacity:  63.9 litres

Amazon's Basics range is quickly becoming my go-to for affordable kit that doesn't sacrifice on style or quality. From suitcases to packing cubes , they do it all.

Its carry on backpack costs from $69.90 when on sale, has a 4.5 customer rating across 8000+ customers and has been named the Best Budget Travel Backpack by Switch Back Travel.

Various sections, including a main compartment, front pocket, top-pocket and laptop sleeve, make organising a cinch. Padded shoulder straps, a sternum strap and hip/waist belt add a world of support.

There's even an expansion zipper for 10% more packing space - should you find a few unexpected souvenirs to take home.

Best carry-on travel backpack

Peak Design Travel Backpack 45L, Peak Design, $459.95

• Weight : 2.05kg
• Capacity:  45 litres

When you're looking for carry on luggage that can fit all your tech, has flexible organisation options, and is weatherproof and waterproof, you can do little better than the award winning Peak Design' Travel Backpack.

Launched in 2018, this premium travel bag moves seamlessly between work and play, comes in two colourways and has a near-perfect 4.8-star review on the Peak Design website across over 900 travellers.

It has a 30 litre capacity which can be expanded to 45L, padded shoulder and waist straps that can be tucked away for the flight, and 360 degree grab handles so you won't have to do an awkward dance when pulling it out of the overhead bin.

Lightweight padding provides structure and protection for your fragile tech, and there is front, rear and side zips for accessibility.

Oh and did we mention they make some of the best quality packing cubes around? True story.

Best travel backpack with a laptop sleeve

Nordace Siena - Smart Backpack, Nordace, $149.99

• Weight : 880 grams
• Capacity: 19 litres
• Hip belt: No 

Practical, smart and roomy enough to fit a 15.6" laptop, Nordace's Siena Backpack ticks all the boxes. This unisex bag sports Nordace's signature Scandi-design with block colours and a square silhouette. 

An anti-theft pocket at the back is large enough to pack your wallet, phone and passport while RFID-Blocking Card Slots keep your money safe.

We love the dedicated USB charging port which lets you power up your laptop without having to rummage through your pack for your travel charger . Then there's the water resistant material and padded laptop sleeve to keep your tech safe and secure, even if you're caught in the rain.

Being almost 900g, it's not the lightest travel backpack on the market, but it has all the bells and whistles you could need.

If you love the look Nordace sells Scandi-designed packing cubes and apparel, too.

Best travel backpack with wheels

Kathmandu Hybrid v3 32L Trolley, Kathmandu, $174.99

• Weight : 2.28 kilograms
• Capacity: 32 litres
• Laptop compartment: No
• Hip belt: No

Named the best rolling travel backpack by backpacking guru Nomadic Matt,   Kathmandu's Hybrid Trolley has converted even die-hard backpackers to the benefits of wheels.

Lightweight at just over 2.28kg, the compact version has a 32-litre capacity and converts quickly to a backpack when the terrain gets rough.

For longer journeys it's available in 50L and 70L .

One reviewer says it still looks new after a four-month Asian odyssey, saying "after the trip, my partner ditched her trusty conventional rucksack that she has been emotionally attached to for 10 plus years, to get one of these … she was that impressed."

Best foldable travel backpack

Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Day Pack, MyDeal, $49.99

• Weight : 72.57 grams
• Capacity: 20 litres

Like everything else these days travel backpacks are getting smaller and more portable. Lightweight fabrics and structureless bags can see you fold them down to pocket-size.

Of your options the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Daypack is one of the best. It packs down to the size of a tennis ball, weighs less than 75 grams and is water resistant.

TravelFreak names it the Best Lightweight Packable Backpack and the Wirecutter has it down as one of its top picks for the Best Packable Daypack for Travel saying it's "perfect to keep in your pocket or in the glove compartment of your car".

Unlike other lightweight travel packs where weight capacity is questionable, the reinforced stitching on the Ultra-Sil's stress points means it can take a bit of heft.

One Amazon reviewer said they carried a Canon EOS 80D with Canon 10-18mm attached, Rode VideoMicro Compact On-Camera microphone with Rycote Lyre shock mount, 1.5 litres of water and a water filter across rough terrain and it held together.

Best small travel backpack

Bellroy Via Backpack, Bellroy, $199

• Weight : 550 grams

If you love to support local companies that are doing their bit for the environment, you can't go wrong with Bellroy. This B-Corp certified Melbourne-based store has quality backpacks with clean designs that are primed and ready for the office and the plane.

The Via Backpack measures 450 x 220 x 110mm and has a capacity of 20 litres, which is more than enough to house a laptop, water bottle,  headphones, notebook, make-up case and more.

I love how the front panel is arranged in a stadium seating-style for easy access to all your bits and pieces (you can do away with those packing cubes now!).

Sustainability warriors will also be happy to hear that the outer is made from 100% recycled fabrics.

Best hiking backpack

Forclaz MT500 Air Trekking Backpack, Decathlon, from $219

• Weight : 1.6 kilograms
• Capacity: Womens: 45 litres (+10 with extension) , Mens: 60 litres (+10 with extension)
• Hip belt: Yes

Like it says on the tin, this pack is designed for trekking and it has a solid 4.6 star rating from over 250 Google Reviews.

This large hiking backpack accommodates a hefty 45 litres, though you can bump that up to 10 litres with the extension. It fits the carry-on rules of most airlines and weighs 1.6kgs, which includes the 100g removable rain cover.

There are a bunch of compartments on top of a generously sized main compartment, and it comes in a men's and women's version with belt and shoulder straps designed for different bodies.

Best durable travel backpack

Nordace Henge 45L Carry-on Backpack, Nordace, $239.99

• Weight : 1.56 kilograms
• Capacity: 45 litres

Built for maximum space while still staying true to the dimensions of a carry-on suitcase, the Nordace Henge is a "beast of a backpack" as one reviewer calls it. It has a bold look and a 180° suitcase-style opening to make packing (or throwing packing cubes in) a breeze.

For the working man, a 17" laptop sleeve, interior gadget pockets and USB charging port.

There's a nifty luggage strap along the back to hook it onto your checked-in luggage.

As far as travel packs go, it's built extremely tough as one reviewer on the Nodace site remarks, "it seems impervious to my rough use, which will be the same rough use for every bloke who will typically buy this large backpack."

Best travel backpack for families

Topo Designs Global Travel Bag 30L, Amazon, from $309.68

• Weight : 1.2 kilograms
• Capacity: 30 litres (can expand to 35L)
• Hip belt: Yes (removable)

Take it from someone who likes to bring everything they could possibly need on the plane for their toddler, a travel backpack that's built around compartments is a must for families.

Yes, the price-point is on the pointy end of the plane but the Topo Global Travel Bag is the mother of organisation with a U-shaped main compartment, a large secondary compartment, internal security pockets, dual slip pockets, exterior vertical pocket and laptop sleeve.

It can be worn 3-ways to suit the preference of whichever parent or child has been nominated to carry it and has a pass-through panel to attach it to a rolling suitcase.

Outdoor Gear Lab praises it as a top pick for the Best Travel Backpack saying it "distributes weight nicely" and has a "highly organised structure".

Best convertible travel backpack

Cotopaxi Todo 16L Convertible Tote, Amazon, $161.83

• Weight :  420g
• Capacity:  16 litres

If the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L travel bag mentioned above is too large for trip or if you're looking for something less backpacker more daytripper the Todo 16L  is worth checking out.

This stunner converts from a travel backpack to a tote in the blink of an eye. A top zip makes accessing your essentials from the main compartment a breeze and a padded laptop sleeve and fleece lined pocket keep the important stuff protected.

There's also a daisy chain on the front to attach anything that requires quick access.

Best anti-theft backpack

Pacsafe Venturesafe X34 Anti-Theft, Amazon, $123.22

• Weight :  508g
• Capacity: 6 litres

Safety is a key consideration when you’re backpacking, but thankfully, hi-tech modern bags are designed to keep you safe from pickpockets.

Pacsafe's Venturesafe line of travel bags has a laundry list of anti-theft technologies stitched in including cut-resistant material, RFIDsafe blocking pockets, eXomesh slashguard, PopNLock security clip and anti-theft zipper anchor lock.

The 34-litre travel backpack is small enough to be used for carry-on, and it comes with a five-year warranty.

Best travel backpack for cameras

DSLR Pro Pack with Nylon, Surfstitch $239.95

• Weight :  594g
• Capacity:  26 litres

Lenses don't come cheap and if you're packing a shelf full of them, this travel friendly camera bag is a must to keep them safe and organised.

The dividers are fully customisable and can store lenses, flashes, MacBooks, iPads and accessories. A side strap holds your tripod while velcro pockets store your cables.

Made of a durable and lightweight ballistic nylon, this backpack repels the elements keeping your precious gear safe, rain or shine. 

How we choose products

Our team of experienced writers and travellers have spend hours researching travel bags, duffels and daypacks. We find out what factors make the best travel backpack by chatting with expert travellers, reviewing test results and analysing thousands of customer reviews.

How to choose the best travel backpack for you

We all travel a little differently. Some of us like to spend our days hiking mountains and living out of a hiking backpack with compartments that'd make Marie Kondo swoon.

Others may prefer a relaxing holiday where a daypack or tote that fits the essentials, and has a few safety features in mind, is required.

However you travel, I've picked out three key features to consider to lead you to your perfect travel backpack.

Size and capacity

Size really does matter when it comes to travel backpacks.

Totes, sling bags or lightweight backpacks are more suited to day trips or hikes when carrying less is best. You'll find they can only take around 20L of stuff and won't have many compartments or security features in-built.

Medium sized travel backpacks run up to 35L and offers the versatility of being used as a daypack as well as a carry-on that can potentially fit underneath the airplane seat.

A good 35-40L can boast a series of compartments, including space for your laptop, a hidden compartment for important items like your passport, and an easy access pocket.

Larger backpacks of 40L or more are ideal if you're going away for a week or more and are generally still small enough to be considered cabin luggage. They often feature thicker, more durable shoulder straps that you can pack away for transit and easy access compartments.

Compartments and organisation

While I could wax on about how much of a game-changer packing cubes are to your travel life, a good backpack with subdivisions and loads of compartments pretty much does the same job.

If you're on a long trip, are backpacking or simply hate having to unpack everything when you arrive in your hotel room (only to have to try and Tetris your way back), then a backpack with dedicated pockets for everything you need is a must.  

Comfort: Shoulder straps, hip belts and more

Whether you're taking your bag on weekend trips or a month-long getaway, your holiday can be easily ruined by a backpack that rides up, bounces against your back too much or keeps slipping to one side.

It's always a good idea to try before you buy (luckily you can return a lot of items for free when you shop online these days). When you do, test to see that the straps can be adjusted to suit your height and the shoulder straps are comfortable and not cumbersome.

If you're backpacking or planning to walk all day with a heavy kit, look for a sternum strap and a hip or waist belt to put the weight on your hips and not on your back.

Select backpacks also have load lifter straps. These sit at the very top of the bag on the shoulder straps and are used to pull the back closer to your back to stabalise it. Granite Gear and Salomon are two backpack brands that often feature load lifter straps.

Can I use my travel backpack as my main luggage or can I pair it with a suitcase?

You can do either or both.

If you're a light packer on a short trip you very much could fit everything you need into your travel backpack and simply use that.

If you're on a longer trip or know you have a tendency to overpack, having a travel backpack with your essentials as carry-on luggage and packing everything else into your main suitcase is a good idea. This way you can avoid any unnecessary fees if your backpack goes over the weight limit.

You can also check your travel backpack in if you like. Some travel bags such as the Cotopaxi Allpa 35L cater for this and let you tuck the shoulder straps and waist belt into a compartment to avoid snagging or ripping in transit.

Just remember to keep any personal or fragile items such as your passport and devices  on you for the flight.

Keep in mind that certain items are prohibited from being packed as carry-on, such sharp objects, and these will need to go into checked luggage.

Can a 35L backpack fit under an airplane seat?

Most airlines allow you to bring one cabin bag as well as a personal item that can fit under the airplane seat. The size of the underseat in front of you will vary,  however to maximise space we suggest you use a travel backpack with a flexible material.

Generally speaking, a 35L backpack can fit under an airplane seat when reasonably packed.

Are travel backpacks comfortable to wear for long periods?

Travel backpacks are meant to sit comfortably on your back for hours.

A good travel backpack will have padded shoulder straps and a sternum strap to disperse the weight and ease any strain on your neck.

Larger backpacks, particularly backpacking and hiking backpacks, can come with a padded hip/waist belt which brings the bulk of the weight to your hips (as opposed to your shoulders) and lets your leg muscles do the heavy lifting instead.

Generally speaking backpacks with more structure should provide you with better support than a lightweight bag that's made with thin, flimsy material.

Are there restrictions or guidelines for what I can pack in my travel backpack?

If you're carrying your backpack onto the plane with you, you'll need to comply with the current luggage restrictions on what you can and cannot bring.

When travelling domestically, there are no liquids restrictions so long as you're leaving from a domestic terminal.

If you're departing from an international terminal, you won't be able to bring liquids of more than 100ml onboard.

How To Choose The Best Backpacks For Travellers 2023

Travelling worry free is what we all want. To enjoy your vacation in nature, board the plane without problems, or stay focused and organised during your work trip. To do this, you’ll want to pick from the top travel backpacks for sale. Below we’ve listed the things you need to be on the lookout for when searching for the best backpack to travel with.

Whether you are an experienced traveller or a one time vacationer, you need to think about the purpose of your trip before choosing the right backpack. The best backpack for airline use might need to be in line with the majority of airlines’ carry-on restrictions (56 cm x 36 cm x 23 cm). This size is the best for those who need a backpack for international travel since you should have no trouble with it on any airline (unless that particular airline has very different carry-on requirements).

It’s also important to consider your own size – if you’re particularly petite, you may decide to find the best travel backpacks for women. If you have a lot of stuff and won’t actually be carrying the bag around for extended periods, look for extra large travel backpacks with a larger capacity. Remember, the best travel backpack for men or women is always one that you can comfortably carry.

Of course, the weight of the backpack plays an important role. As a general rule, the bigger the backpack and the more pockets and straps it has, the heavier it is. For example, 70L backpacks usually weigh around 2kg. However, some models are specifically designed to be the best light travel backpack. The best air travel backpack will probably need to be a light one since you don’t want your weight allowance to be taken up by the bag itself.

Durability and Material

The material and quality of the backpack are important for any type of travel. It can make a real difference if the backpack can stand the test of time. Usually, the best quality backpacks for travel are made of nylon or eco polyester. Other popular options are poly weave and ripstop fabrics. It’s also useful to check if the material is waterproof.

Other Great Features

• Stowaway/padded hip belt and shoulder straps – quality hip belts and straps help to stabilise larger loads and take the strain off your shoulders and back. Even better if they can be tucked in/stowed away so they don’t get tangled with other bags.
• Safety compartment for laptops and gadgets – products with these make for the best backpacks for travel laptop users or best backpacks for work travel as they provide extra protection for tech gadgets and sometimes even prevent card skimming.
• A detachable daypack – these are the best lightweight backpack for travel and great for short daily excursions.
• Compartments – the number of compartments can range hugely from 1 up to 12 or even more. The more compartments you have, the easier it is to separate important items like passports and water bottles and find them quickly when you need to. The best anti theft backpack for travel has internal pockets with lockable zippers.
• Compression straps and rolls – these allow you to adapt the best rolling backpacks for travel into a briefcase or a duffel bag.

One five-star reviewer hailed it “the perfect carry on”.

“I love this bag! I have been looking for a weekend bag which is large enough for all my stuff as a chronic over-packer but small enough to use as hand luggage on short haul flights. Having seen the larger sizes of the base camp duffle around, I thought I would give the XS a try and it does not disappoint! The bag itself is very durable and easy to organise – I love the fact that it opens up fully like a duffel but you can wear it as a backpack. The straps are also surprisingly comfortable, even after a full travel day,” one wrote.

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRAVEL BACKPACK?

Choosing the right travel backpack varies with each scenario, however, you’d ideally want one that is the right size and capacity for your needs, has a variety of organisational pockets and compartments, comfortable shoulder straps and is weather-resistant. You can also consider whether you’d prefer a backpack or a versatile hybrid duffle backpack.

35L and less – smaller backpacks or day packs are great for short weekends away, domestic trips or day activities like a hike as they won’t be too heavy.

35L to 45L – medium-sized backpacks are a good in-between option for a week-long overseas trip (granted you’re not an overpacker). If you’re going somewhere warm, it’s perfect for packing thinner clothes but if you’re going somewhere cold, this size may not be great for packing thicker pieces of clothing.

45L and up – large backpacks are a must if you’re planning on going away for more than a week. They’re spacious and will be able to hold everything you could possibly need to be self-sufficient. If you’re going somewhere that’s cold, you’ll be able to pack your thicker layers comfortably in a backpack of this size.

HOW CAN I EFFICIENTLY PACK MY TRAVEL BACKPACK?

Keeping your travel as stress-free as possible is important, so when it comes to packing there are two things to consider: convenience and comfort.

Convenience: Pack your backpack with the items you won’t use during the day or necessarily need straight away at the bottom of your bag. Make sure important things like your passport, wallet, toiletries and other essentials are easily accessible and placed at the top.

Comfort: Keep heavy items at the bottom and close to your back – this is so that they don’t affect your balance by pulling you sideways, backwards or forward, and so that they don’t crush anything that may be fragile or light.

WHAT SIZE CARRY-ON IS ALLOWED IN AUSTRALIA?

While it varies among different airlines, most Australian Airlines follow the same rule of thumb when it comes to carry-on luggage.

You can take one bag (H56cm x W36cm x D23cm) with a maximum weight of seven kilograms, although some do offer up to 10 kilograms.

You also have the choice of taking two carry-on bags (H48cm x W34cm x D23xm), or one bag and one soft garment bag.

Keep in mind that when flying overseas, carry-on bag limits aren’t always the same across airlines so double-check your airline’s policy before packing.

The Best Carry on Backpack in Australia for 2024

Written by: The Adventure Lab

Last Updated: July 15, 2022

We are reader-supported and may receive a commission on purchases made through links on this page.

Carry-on backpacks can be the best way to conveniently transport your gear during air travel. They allow you to pack in a surprisingly large amount of luggage while remaining lightweight and compliant with airline restrictions. 

However, with so many options on the market, it can be hard to find the product that is right for you. In this article we break down everything from design, to accessories, to durability to help you find the carry-on pack that best meets your specific needs.

Our top pick: Osprey Farpoint 40L Ultralight Travel Backpack

Osprey is one of the most trusted names in the outdoor gear world and with this pack they integrate their high-end tech with travel functionality.

Designed for comfort, yet not compromising on features and durability, it’s hard to look past the Farpoint if you’re in the market for a great carry-on travel pack. This backpack is built for total all-round use and for versatile, on the move, light packers.

Whether It be a city or a campsite, its minimalistic design and customisable setup (it can be transformed in a duffel bag) makes it perfect also as a carry-on bag for airplane, train or bus travel.

• Trusted market leader in outdoor gear
• Very lightweight and comfortable
• Multiple carry options
• Suitable for everyday use
• Lifetime guarantee
• Excellent value for money
• Not too many accessories or compartments for devices
• Design may seem too minimalistic for some

Kathmandu Litehaul 38L Carry-On Pack

The Kathmandu Litehaul one of our favourite lightweight  travel packs  thanks to its incredible external size to internal storage ratio (dimensions are 55cm x 32cm x 30cm).

This makes it an excellent option for those wanting to maximise the gear they can transport while still remaining within airline luggage restrictions. It comes with a myriad of accessories including an Air pod system, tuck-away zip belt, external laptop pocket, lockable main zipper and more.

To top it off it is made of polyester recycled from plastic bottles.

• Impressive internal capacity despite its small size
• Opens up like a suitcase for easy access
• Can also be carried like a suitcase (good for airports once shoulder straps packed away)
• Feature packed
• Environmentally friendly
• 38L may be too small for some travellers
• Side pockets if packed can impact space availability of the main compartment

Osprey Fairview 40L Womens Travel Backpack

The Osprey Fairview is similar to the Osprey Farpoint but designed specifically with female travellers in mind. Like its male counterpart it is crafted for maximum performance in all settings and situations.

At 53.3 x 35.6 x 22.9 cm it is smaller than the Litehaul and Farpoint but still scores highly in airplane carry-on compliance.

• Light and comfortable for extended travel
• Impressive hide-away strap system
• Variety of colours options
• Sleek design
• Works well as cabin luggage
• Location of laptop compartment may not be best for weight distribution
• When the main compartment is full the front compartment space is less usable

NOMATIC Water Resistant 40L Travel Bag

Nomatic as a company is quickly making a name for itself with its top of the line highly technical and effective backpacks.

Not only is this pack completely water resistant making it a great outdoors bag, but it is also completely TSA approved and designed for maximum efficiency while travelling. It is also the most accessorized bag on this list with RFID pockets, cord organizers, laptop and tablet pockets and more.

• Designed to be the ultimate modern light backpack
• Impressive storage space
• Top of the line water resistant nylon lining
• High TSA compliance
• Layout may be considered counterintuitive by some users

Hynes Eagle 38L Flight Approved Weekender Carry On Backpack

The Hynes Eagle 38L is an affordable compact bag that still packs a punch, with numerous accessories including compression straps, handy front organizer pockets and multiple carrying options backed by a sleek design.

• Clever, spacious design
• Highly water-resistant polyester and nylon exterior
• Compartments work well for organisation
• Straps may lose grip faster than other counterparts
• Likely to be less durable than more high-end options

Carry-On Backpack Buyer’s Guide

Want to know what to look out for on your search for your perfect travel pack

Below we discuss the key considerations:

It might seem obvious but how can you effectively choose a backpack the right size for a trip of any given duration? The perfect backpack should be able to comfortably fit and protect your most crucial travel equipment.

This could range from a few changes of clothes and footwear to documents (passports, insurance documents etc), toiletries, medication and electronic equipment.

A good backpack should be able to reasonably fit whatever is needed for the voyage comfortably, as well as offering basic protection from the elements for more fragile belongings.

Perhaps most importantly, you need a carry-on backpack that will comply with airline restrictions.

Below are links to the carry-on rules for some of the more popular Australian and International carriers:

INTENDED USE

Your choice of backpack should reflect your destination. Mountain, jungle, wilderness or urban settings all present different challenges in choosing the correct gear.

Nowadays backpack engineering is an incredibly high precision effort with many different facets. There are state-of-the-art backpacks for every use. From tech-savvy duffel bags compliant with airplane regulations to models intended for hardcore trekking, hiking and camping all the way to backpack brands that try their best to make both ends meet.

RELATED: The Best Wheeled Backpacks

DESIGN AND ACCESSORIES

As backpack technology and design improves, there are a number of features and accessories that are becoming mainstays in terms of providing the level of functionality that users demand.

• Some of the most important features to consider are:
• Separate pockets and compartments (including shoe pockets, hidden pockets, RFID or Radio Frequency ID pockets, sunglasses pockets, book and document compartments and for the tech-savvy, laptop and camera compartments)
• Retractable sleeves
• Adjustable, comfortable and customisable straps
• Water-resistant covers for rain
• Lockable zippers
• Magnet clips
• Material resistant to other elements such as snow, mud, dirt and sand

Choosing the right balance between accessories, spaciousness and design is an integral part of opting for the right backpack.

DURABILITY AND WARRANTY

Another extremely important factor is the lifetime of your backpack. Regardless of use, all travel gear will eventually succumb to some wear and tear. Try and understand the strengths and weakness of the backpack’s structure and material and make sure it comes with a reasonable warranty (most companies on our list offer extended or even lifetime warranties) on any product.

A great carry-on backpack can really elevate your travel experience to the next level. When choosing your pack be sure to consider your personal preferences and style of travel, in conjunction with the various considerations mentioned in our buyers guide. While any of the products on this list would make an exception travel companion, our top pick is the  Osprey Farpoint  thanks to its exceptional design, durability, and value for money. Happy travels!

Best Crossbody Bag For Travel Overall

Lightweight, stylish storage, mz wallace small sutton deluxe.

Dimensions: 9.8 × 5.5 × 10.20 inches | Weight: 1.08 pounds | Materials: Recycled oxford (polyester, nylon), leather

With a handy key ring strap and five interior pockets, this versatile bag is perfect for staying organized during travel. It can be worn as a crossbody or top handle tote and its water-resistant oxford fabric won’t weigh you down on your journey. There’s an easy-to-adjust nylon strap for a customized fit and the detachable interior pouch is big enough to hold a pair of shoes, plus the ample pockets provide plenty of space for your phone, keys, tickets and more. It weighs only a pound but can fit a surprising amount of items, plus its plush fabric folds down for packing.

Best Affordable Crossbody Bag For Travel

Security features plus many pockets, travelon anti-theft classic mini shoulder bag.

Dimensions: 8.5 x 8.5 x 2.25 inches | Weight: 0.7 pounds | Materials: Polyester, nylon

Travelon’s Anti-Theft Classic Mini Shoulder Bag packs an impressive punch for being so small. Its six pockets keep everything where you need it—including an RFID-blocking passport and card interior organizer—while a tethered key caddy with an LED light eliminates that dreaded “can’t-find-it-in-my-bag” feeling. The 5-Point Anti-Theft security system protects against theft threats with slash-resistant fabric, lockable straps and secure zipper pulls. Not only will you feel safe wearing this bag, but thanks to its 13 colors and prints, you’ll also look stylish anywhere your trip may take you.

Best Crossbody Bag For Organization

A compact sling bag with room to spare, aer day sling 3.

Dimensions: 11.5 x 6 x 3 inches | Weight: 0.8 pounds | Materials: Cordura nylon

With a ballistic nylon exterior and a unique design that zips open for easy access, Aer’s Day Sling 3 is one of the more durable crossbody options out there. It has a 3L capacity that fits a surprising amount of items and its 8 pockets ensure everything stays in its place. There are multiple loops for strapping onto your luggage or storage and a handy front pocket with a key leash and cool security features like a secret back pocket. There’s also a sneaky Fidlock clasp that makes it harder for a pickpocket to snatch your bag.

Best Crossbody Bag For Parents

Extra space and storage for the whole family, hobo sheila large satchel.

Dimensions: 13.5 x 14 x 5.5 inches | Weight: 1.6 pounds | Materials: Raffia, leather

For parents or travelers who need to tote a lot of stuff on the go, a larger bag might be in order. Hobo’s Sheila Large Satchel offers nice organizational features and high style points. It’s made of a lightweight woven raffia with leather trim for added durability, plus its six interior pockets, key lanyard and accessible side exterior pocket are perfect for storing smaller items you may need throughout the day. Its main compartment is quite roomy, easily fitting a laptop, kid’s tablet, diaper wipes, snacks, toys, a backup outfit and more. The flexibility of its 3-in-1 styling really stands out—the adjustable strap can be worn as a crossbody, shortened for a shoulder bag or simply removed to transform into a classy top handle bag for a night out after the kiddos go to sleep.

Best Crossbody Bag For Beach Trips

Large and easy to wear for sandy days in the sun.

Urban Outfitters

Baggu Large Nylon Crescent Bag

Dimensions: 10.5 × 19.5 × 5.25 inches | Weight: N/A (not listed) | Materials: 100% recycled nylon

A beach bag calls for some pretty specific features: it needs to be durable and water-resistant, it should be big enough to hold bulky towels and ideally, it has a simple shape so sand won’t get lodged in the nooks and crannies. After much research, the Baggu Crescent Bag fits the bill. Its adjustable strap can be worn across the chest or as a tighter-fitting shoulder bag, the large size is roomy enough for a couple towels and a change of clothes and the zippered interior pocket keeps your wallet and keys secure. The quick-drying ripstop nylon is not only recycled, it’s also durable enough to withstand the windiest—and wettest—of beach days. Consider adding a few of Baggu’s fun printed flat pouches for additional organization.

Best Crossbody Bag For Active Trips

A durable sling with no detail spared, nomatic navigator sling 6l.

Dimensions: 13.5 x 9 x 4 inches | Weight: 1.3 pounds | Materials: 80% nylon, 20% polyester

Whether you’re hiking, biking or riding the metro, the Navigator Sling from Nomatic offers durability, storage and some impressive features. There’s a water bottle holder that zips away when not in use, a molded EVA back panel for wearable comfort and breathability, a tamper-resistant zipper and tech features like built-in tablet storage, an RFID-blocking pocket for your cards and a cord-pass through for charging your devices in different pockets. If you’re running or moving around a lot, there’s also a stabilizer strap that clips on to keep the sling even more secure to your body. Unlike some sling styles, this bag has multiple zippered storage compartments, the main one opening extra wide for easier access.

Most Versatile Crossbody Bag For Travel

Four ways to wear it.

Lo & Sons

Lo & Sons Waverley 2 in Nappa Leather

Dimensions: 5.6 x 8 x 2 inches | Weight: 0.6 pounds | Materials: Nappa, Saffiano or cactus leather

When you’re on the go, sometimes the last thing you want is to ruin the flow of the day by making a pit stop at the hotel to change out a bag before dinner. We like the Lo & Sons Waverley for its inventive versatility that adapts to your needs. The minimal leather design has an adjustable strap that can be worn 4 ways: as a hands-free belt bag, a longer crossbody, a casual shoulder bag or an elevated clutch with (or without) a wristlet. The main compartment is large enough for the essentials and the zippered inner pocket keeps smaller items secure no matter where your day—or night—takes you.

Best Belt Bag For Travel

Hands-free storage in a slim profile, lululemon everywhere belt bag 1 l.

Dimensions: 7.5 x 2 x 5 inches | Weight: N/A (not listed) | Materials: Nylon, recycled polyester

Over 22,500 reviewers agree: the Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag is sleek, lightweight and versatile enough to be worn just about anywhere your travels take you. It has a water-repellant nylon exterior and one main compartment, three mesh interior pockets for added organization and a back zipper for your phone or cards. Its adjustable strap can tighten for comfortable wearing around your waist or it can be extended as a crossbody sling. With a 1L capacity, this bag is definitely on the smaller side, so you might want to consider their larger 2L size if you need more space.

Best Crossbody Bag For Men

Rugged looks for when you're on the go, cotopaxi coso 2l hip pack.

Dimensions: 11 x 7 x 3 inches | Weight: 10 ounces | Materials: Recycled nylon, recycled polyester

This easy-wearing hip pack from Cotopaxi combines an urban rugged look with smart storage solutions. The recycled nylon exterior is durable with a matte TPU coating, making it water-resistant and easy to clean, while a fleece interior pocket stores your phone or other small devices without any scratch risk. There’s multiple grab handles for easy carrying, secure pockets for smaller items and in addition to the main zippered compartment, the exterior front flap pocket can store a rolled-up lightweight jacket when you get warm on the go. G-hooks on both sides can be adjusted for customized storage and it can be comfortably worn as a crossbody on the front or back, or around the waist as a belt bag.

Best Leather Crossbody Bag For Travel

Three storage sections in a minimal package, quince italian leather triple compartment crossbody.

Dimensions: 7.8 x 9.5 x 3 inches | Weight: 1.54 pounds | Materials: Leather

Quince’s smooth Italian leather crossbody might look simple from the outside, but there’s actually a lot of unexpected storage inside. The bag has three main compartments—two zippered sections flanking one open area that closes with snaps—plus three internal zippered pockets to take your organization a step further. It also comes with two detachable straps that allow for crossbody or wristlet wear. Quince is known for its fair prices and ethical manufacturing process, and if that’s not impressive enough, the brand also offers a generous 365-day return policy.

20 Facts About Moscow: Fun & Interesting

Russias capital Moscow is a city full of history, that is perhaps only known for things like Red Square, the Kremlin and St. Basil’s cathedral.

But,  it pays to know a few facts about Moscow before you take a trip there. Here are 2o facts about Moscow.

Moscow Is Huge

Moscow is the largest city in Europe in fact Moscow is so big that it has the right to be its own country.

While using the metro you might just bump into one of these super-smart train-loving dogs. They recognize the stops by the tannoy announcements and hop and off just like we do.

There Is An Underground River In Moscow

The Neglinnaya River flowed through the Russian capital for centuries undisturbed but no one could live on the western side of its banks as it flooded every year. Russian engineering then took over and they diverted the river into an underground tunnel which now flows under Neglinnaya Street into the Moskva river and then built on the old river that is now dry.

The Tunisian Embassy Is Haunted

The Tunisian Embassy in Moscow is the old home of Lavrentiy Beria, the chief of the secret police during Stalin’s era. It’s said that Lavrentiy would kidnap beautiful women, take them home, have his way with them and then murder them. They are now said to haunt the Tunisian Embassy at 28 Malaya Nikitskaya St.

Diplomats have woken up to safes being open and papers scattered everywhere, they hear footsteps in the day and the night and a lot of Tunisian Diplomats have asked to be relocated due to the spooky occurrences.

Gorky Park Is Amazingly Busy

The Metro Never Breaks Down

If you live in a city then you know how annoying it is when the metro breaks and you’re late for work. Well, this doesn’t happen in Moscow. The Moscow Metro has only broken down once, on the 16th of October in 1941, and has never failed since.

The Largest Bell In The World Is In Moscow

The Tsar Bell we know today weighs 200 tonnes and it has never been rung, but this is the third version of this huge bell. The first was 18 tonnes and required 24 men just to make it ring but it was then broken into pieces during a fire. The same thing happened to Tsar Bell version 2, and then came version 3 which was buried after another fire and took 40 years to get out.

Moscow Doesn’t Believe In Tears

The saying “Moscow Doesn’t Believe In Tears” is one of the oldest sayings in the country. It stems pack to people who couldn’t pay their tribute to Moscow and would cry and beg for an extension. The emperor would say “Moscow Doesn’t Believe In Tears”.

The Highest Tower In Europe

The Ostankino TV Tower in Moscow is the tallest in all of Europe and measures an incredible 540 meter high.

Assumption Cathedral

In the Kremlin, you’ll find the oldest building that survived all the fires in Moscow, the Assumption Cathedral. It was completed in August of 1479 and is now 542 years old. The most impressive thing is that it managed to survive all the fires Moscow experienced.

The Kremlin Was Rebuilt By Italians

The Kremlin, located right near Red Square, is actually called the Moscow Kremlin. In the 15th century, the Moscow Kremlin wall and its temples were in serious need of repair but the Russian architects at the time couldn’t handle it. Grand Duke Ivan III then asked the Italians to come and help restore the Kremlin to its former glory.

Moscow Has Burned Down A Lot

The city of Moscow has burned down countless times. All the houses in Moscow used to be built from wood and thus the city burned to its knees quite easily and has been rebuilt several times. These were the fires that burned down the Tsar Bells.

McDonald’s Created A Scene

The first Mcdonald’s opened in Moscow in January of 1990. Despite the cold weather on that winter’s day, the Moscow residents cued patiently waiting for their first McDonald’s meal. The cue was so long it measured several kilometers.

There Was A Tornado In Moscow

Moscow’s one and the only tornado hit the city on June 29, 1904. The tornado ran rampant through the streets destroying a lot of the ancient trees of Sokolniki and destroyed a lot of nearby villages and homes in the city.

Queensland premier defends BPIC agreement that delivers union tradies pay rises of more than $10 per hour

Queensland's premier has defended a deal brokered with construction unions that includes pay rises of more than $10 an hour over the next four years and an extra $1,000 a week to work away from home. 

Union workers will receive a 5 per cent pay rise on the first of July, which will continue every year until the end of the agreement in 2027.

Carpenters and other qualified tradespeople will be paid nearly $1,948 a week.

By 2027, the same carpenters will be paid $2,351 a week, jumping from $54.12 an hour to $65.78.

Skilled labourers will also see their wages increase by $10 an hour over the agreement, increasing from $47.63 to $57.89. By 2027, they'll be paid $2,084 a week.

The deal comes at a time when Queensland is looking at huge array of projects across the next decade, ranging from Olympic infrastructure to green energy projects.

"These are all prevailing conditions in the industry," Premier Steven Miles said. 

"I think it's appropriate that on government jobs, workers aren't competing with each other on wages.

"These conditions have been in place for some time."

Travel allowances and leave loading

The living away from home allowance section of the BPIC states that a "distant construction sites allowance of $1,000 per week or $200 per day for part weeks" will be paid when an employee is directed to work on a project "located 50 kilometres or more from the address of the employer".

A travel allowance will be paid to workers on government projects worth more than $50 million, while all workers will receive a $50 dollar travel allowance each day.

Starting in July that will jump to $55, and workers who travel more than 50 kilometres will be paid up to $95 dollars a day.

This too will go up over the next four years, reaching $106 per day in 2027.

Workers conducting emergency work or pouring concrete will be paid double time to work in the rain.

A site allowance will be paid per hour to workers on large projects, starting at $1.70 for projects worth $50 million to $80 million, reaching $10 an hour on projects worth $900 million to $1 billion.

All workers will accrue a rostered day off (RDO) every 10 working days, with RDO's still accumulating while workers are on leave.

"The purpose of this calendar is to ensure workers and site management manage their fatigue levels, thereby encouraging safer and more productive projects," the contract says.

Workers on leave will receive 17.5 per cent leave loading on top of their usual pay packet.

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

With a Moscow City Pass , you can experience the best of Moscow at the CHEAPEST prices. Discounts, attractions, tickets, and even public transport are all standards in any good city pass – be sure invest now and save them $$$ when you arrive!

Moscow is a large city with many accommodation options to choose from. Staying in a location that fits with your travel plans will only enhance your Moscow itinerary. Here is a brief introduction to a few great areas of the city we recommend checking out!

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow: The Best of Moscow!

I just got back from one week in Moscow. And, as you might have already guessed, it was a mind-boggling experience. It was not my first trip to the Russian capital. But I hardly ever got enough time to explore this sprawling city. Visiting places for business rarely leaves enough time for sightseeing. I think that if you’ve got one week in Russia, you can also consider splitting your time between its largest cities (i.e. Saint Petersburg ) to get the most out of your trip. Seven days will let you see the majority of the main sights and go beyond just scratching the surface. In this post, I’m going to share with you my idea of the perfect travel itinerary for one week in Moscow.

Moscow is perhaps both the business and cultural hub of Russia. There is a lot more to see here than just the Kremlin and Saint Basil’s Cathedral. Centuries-old churches with onion-shaped domes dotted around the city are in stark contrast with newly completed impressive skyscrapers of Moscow City dominating the skyline. I spent a lot of time thinking about my Moscow itinerary before I left. And this city lived up to all of my expectations.

Travel Itinerary For One Week in Moscow

Day 1 – red square and the kremlin.

Metro Station: Okhotny Ryad on Red Line.

No trip to Moscow would be complete without seeing its main attraction. The Red Square is just a stone’s throw away from several metro stations. It is home to some of the most impressive architectural masterpieces in the city. The first thing you’ll probably notice after entering it and passing vendors selling weird fur hats is the fairytale-like looking Saint Basil’s Cathedral. It was built to commemorate one of the major victories of Ivan the Terrible. I once spent 20 minutes gazing at it, trying to find the perfect angle to snap it. It was easier said than done because of the hordes of locals and tourists.

As you continue strolling around Red Square, there’s no way you can miss Gum. It was widely known as the main department store during the Soviet Era. Now this large (yet historic) shopping mall is filled with expensive boutiques, pricey eateries, etc. During my trip to Moscow, I was on a tight budget. So I only took a retro-style stroll in Gum to get a rare glimpse of a place where Soviet leaders used to grocery shop and buy their stuff. In case you want some modern shopping experience, head to the Okhotny Ryad Shopping Center with stores like New Yorker, Zara, and Adidas.

To continue this Moscow itinerary, next you may want to go inside the Kremlin walls. This is the center of Russian political power and the president’s official residence. If you’re planning to pay Kremlin a visit do your best to visit Ivan the Great Bell Tower as well. Go there as early as possible to avoid crowds and get an incredible bird’s-eye view. There are a couple of museums that are available during designated visiting hours. Make sure to book your ticket online and avoid lines.

Day 2 – Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Tretyakov Gallery, and the Arbat Street

Metro Station: Kropotkinskaya on Red Line

As soon as you start creating a Moscow itinerary for your second day, you’ll discover that there are plenty of metro stations that are much closer to certain sites. Depending on your route, take a closer look at the metro map to pick the closest.

The white marble walls of Christ the Saviour Cathedral are awe-inspiring. As you approach this tallest Orthodox Christian church, you may notice the bronze sculptures, magnificent arches, and cupolas that were created to commemorate Russia’s victory against Napoleon.

How to Get a Decent Haircut in a Foreign Country

Unfortunately, the current Cathedral is a replica, since original was blown to bits in 1931 by the Soviet government. The new cathedral basically follows the original design, but they have added some new elements such as marble high reliefs.

Home to some precious collection of artworks, in Tretyakov Gallery you can find more than 150,000 of works spanning centuries of artistic endeavor. Originally a privately owned gallery, it now has become one of the largest museums in Russia. The Gallery is often considered essential to visit. But I have encountered a lot of locals who have never been there.

Famous for its souvenirs, musicians, and theaters, Arbat street is among the few in Moscow that were turned into pedestrian zones. Arbat street is usually very busy with tourists and locals alike. My local friend once called it the oldest street in Moscow dating back to 1493. It is a kilometer long walking street filled with fancy gift shops, small cozy restaurants, lots of cute cafes, and street artists. It is closed to any vehicular traffic, so you can easily stroll it with kids.

Day 3 – Moscow River Boat Ride, Poklonnaya Hill Victory Park, the Moscow City

Metro Station: Kievskaya and Park Pobedy on Dark Blue Line / Vystavochnaya on Light Blue Line

Voyaging along the Moscow River is definitely one of the best ways to catch a glimpse of the city and see the attractions from a bit different perspective. Depending on your Moscow itinerary, travel budget and the time of the year, there are various types of boats available. In the summer there is no shortage of boats, and you’ll be spoiled for choice.

Travel Itinerary for One Week in Beijing

If you find yourself in Moscow during the winter months, I’d recommend going with Radisson boat cruise. These are often more expensive (yet comfy). They offer refreshments like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and, of course, alcoholic drinks. Prices may vary but mostly depend on your food and drink selection. Find their main pier near the opulent Ukraine hotel . The hotel is one of the “Seven Sisters”, so if you’re into the charm of Stalinist architecture don’t miss a chance to stay there.

The area near Poklonnaya Hill has the closest relation to the country’s recent past. The memorial complex was completed in the mid-1990s to commemorate the Victory and WW2 casualties. Also known as the Great Patriotic War Museum, activities here include indoor attractions while the grounds around host an open-air museum with old tanks and other vehicles used on the battlefield.

How I Planned My Trip to Vietnam

The hallmark of the memorial complex and the first thing you see as you exit metro is the statue of Nike mounted to its column. This is a very impressive Obelisk with a statue of Saint George slaying the dragon at its base.

Maybe not as impressive as Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower , the skyscrapers of the Moscow City (otherwise known as Moscow International Business Center) are so drastically different from dull Soviet architecture. With 239 meters and 60 floors, the Empire Tower is the seventh highest building in the business district.

The observation deck occupies 56 floor from where you have some panoramic views of the city. I loved the view in the direction of Moscow State University and Luzhniki stadium as well to the other side with residential quarters. The entrance fee is pricey, but if you’re want to get a bird’s eye view, the skyscraper is one of the best places for doing just that.

Day 4 – VDNKh, Worker and Collective Farm Woman Monument, The Ostankino TV Tower

Metro Station: VDNKh on Orange Line

VDNKh is one of my favorite attractions in Moscow. The weird abbreviation actually stands for Russian vystavka dostizheniy narodnogo khozyaystva (Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy). With more than 200 buildings and 30 pavilions on the grounds, VDNKh serves as an open-air museum. You can easily spend a full day here since the park occupies a very large area.

Places to Visit in Barcelona That Aren’t Beaches

First, there are pavilions that used to showcase different cultures the USSR was made of. Additionally, there is a number of shopping pavilions, as well as Moskvarium (an Oceanarium) that features a variety of marine species. VDNKh is a popular venue for events and fairs. There is always something going on, so I’d recommend checking their website if you want to see some particular exhibition.

A stone’s throw away from VDNKh there is a very distinctive 25-meters high monument. Originally built in 1937 for the world fair in Paris, the hulking figures of men and women holding a hammer and a sickle represent the Soviet idea of united workers and farmers. It doesn’t take much time to see the monument, but visiting it gives some idea of the Soviet Union’s grandiose aspirations.

I have a thing for tall buildings. So to continue my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow I decided to climb the fourth highest TV tower in the world. This iconic 540m tower is a fixture of the skyline. You can see it virtually from everywhere in Moscow, and this is where you can get the best panoramic views (yep, even better than Empire skyscraper).

Parts of the floor are made of tempered glass, so it can be quite scary to exit the elevator. But trust me, as you start observing buildings and cars below, you won’t want to leave. There is only a limited number of tickets per day, so you may want to book online. Insider tip: the first tour is cheaper, you can save up to $10 if go there early.

Day 5 – A Tour To Moscow Manor Houses

Metro Station: Kolomenskoye, Tsaritsyno on Dark Green Line / Kuskovo on Purple Line

I love visiting the manor houses and palaces in Moscow. These opulent buildings were generally built to house Russian aristocratic families and monarchs. Houses tend to be rather grand affairs with impressive architecture. And, depending on the whims of the owners, some form of a landscaped garden.

During the early part of the 20th century though, many of Russia’s aristocratic families (including the family of the last emperor) ended up being killed or moving abroad . Their manor houses were nationalized. Some time later (after the fall of the USSR) these were open to the public. It means that today a great many of Moscow’s finest manor houses and palaces are open for touring.

20 Travel Tips I’ve Learned From Travelling The World

There are 20 manor houses scattered throughout the city and more than 25 in the area around. But not all of them easily accessible and exploring them often takes a lot of time. I’d recommend focusing on three most popular estates in Moscow that are some 30-minute metro ride away from Kremlin.

Sandwiched between the Moscow River and the Andropov Avenue, Kolomenskoye is a UNESCO site that became a public park in the 1920’s. Once a former royal estate, now it is one of the most tranquil parks in the city with gorgeous views. The Ascension Church, The White Column, and the grounds are a truly grand place to visit.

You could easily spend a full day here, exploring a traditional Russian village (that is, in fact, a market), picnicking by the river, enjoying the Eastern Orthodox church architecture, hiking the grounds as well as and wandering the park and gardens with wildflower meadows, apple orchards, and birch and maple groves. The estate museum showcases Russian nature at its finest year-round.

If my travel itinerary for one week in Moscow was a family tree, Tsaritsyno Park would probably be the crazy uncle that no-one talks about. It’s a large park in the south of the city of mind-boggling proportions, unbelievable in so many ways, and yet most travelers have never heard of it.

The palace was supposed to be a summer home for Empress Catherine the Great. But since the construction didn’t meet with her approval the palace was abandoned. Since the early 1990’s the palace, the pond, and the grounds have been undergoing renovations. The entire complex is now looking brighter and more elaborately decorated than at possibly any other time during its history. Like most parks in Moscow, you can visit Tsaritsyno free of charge, but there is a small fee if you want to visit the palace.

How To Stop Procrastinating When Trip Planning

Last, but by no means least on my Moscow itinerary is Kuskovo Park . This is definitely an off-the-beaten-path place. While it is not easily accessible, you will be rewarded with a lack of crowds. This 18th-century summer country house of the Sheremetev family was one of the first summer country estates of the Russian nobility. And when you visit you’ll quickly realize why locals love this park.

Like many other estates, Kuskovo has just been renovated. So there are lovely French formal garden, a grotto, and the Dutch house to explore. Make sure to plan your itinerary well because the estate is some way from a metro station.

Day 6 – Explore the Golden Ring

Creating the Moscow itinerary may keep you busy for days with the seemingly endless amount of things to do. Visiting the so-called Golden Ring is like stepping back in time. Golden Ring is a “theme route” devised by promotion-minded journalist and writer Yuri Bychkov.

Having started in Moscow the route will take you through a number of historical cities. It now includes Suzdal, Vladimir, Kostroma, Yaroslavl and Sergiev Posad. All these awe-inspiring towns have their own smaller kremlins and feature dramatic churches with onion-shaped domes, tranquil residential areas, and other architectural landmarks.

Two Weeks In Thailand: The Perfect 14-Day Itinerary

I only visited two out of eight cities included on the route. It is a no-brainer that Sergiev Posad is the nearest and the easiest city to see on a day trip from Moscow. That being said, you can explore its main attractions in just one day. Located some 70 km north-east of the Russian capital, this tiny and overlooked town is home to Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, UNESCO Site.

Sergiev Posad is often described as being at the heart of Russian spiritual life. So it is uncommon to see the crowds of Russian pilgrims showing a deep reverence for their religion. If you’re traveling independently and using public transport, you can reach Sergiev Posad by bus (departs from VDNKh) or by suburban commuter train from Yaroslavskaya Railway Station (Bahnhof). It takes about one and a half hours to reach the town.

Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius is a great place to get a glimpse of filling and warming Russian lunch, specifically at the “ Gostevaya Izba ” restaurant. Try the duck breast, hearty potato and vegetables, and the awesome Napoleon cake.

Day 7 – Gorky Park, Izmailovo Kremlin, Patriarch’s Ponds

Metro Station: Park Kultury or Oktyabrskaya on Circle Line / Partizanskaya on Dark Blue Line / Pushkinskaya on Dark Green Line

Gorky Park is in the heart of Moscow. It offers many different types of outdoor activities, such as dancing, cycling, skateboarding, walking, jogging, and anything else you can do in a park. Named after Maxim Gorky, this sprawling and lovely park is where locals go on a picnic, relax and enjoy free yoga classes. It’s a popular place to bike around, and there is a Muzeon Art Park not far from here. A dynamic location with a younger vibe. There is also a pier, so you can take a cruise along the river too.

How to Save Money While Traveling in Europe

The Kremlin in Izmailovo is by no means like the one you can find near the Red Square. Originally built for decorative purposes, it now features the Vernissage flea market and a number of frequent fairs, exhibitions, and conferences. Every weekend, there’s a giant flea market in Izmailovo, where dozens of stalls sell Soviet propaganda crap, Russian nesting dolls, vinyl records, jewelry and just about any object you can imagine. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds.

All the Bulgakov’s fans should pay a visit to Patriarch’s Ponds (yup, that is plural). With a lovely small city park and the only one (!) pond in the middle, the location is where the opening scene of Bulgakov’s novel Master and Margarita was set. The novel is centered around a visit by Devil to the atheistic Soviet Union is considered by many critics to be one of the best novels of the 20th century. I spent great two hours strolling the nearby streets and having lunch in the hipster cafe.

Conclusion and Recommendations

To conclude, Moscow is a safe city to visit. I have never had a problem with getting around and most locals are really friendly once they know you’re a foreigner. Moscow has undergone some serious reconstruction over the last few years. So you can expect some places to be completely different. I hope my one week Moscow itinerary was helpful! If you have less time, say 4 days or 5 days, I would cut out day 6 and day 7. You could save the Golden Ring for a separate trip entirely as there’s lots to see!

I know very little about Moscow or Russia for the\at matter. I do know I would have to see the Red Square and all of its exquisite architectural masterpieces. Also the CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR. Thanks for shedding some light on visiting Moscow.

Thanks for swinging by! The Red Square is a great starting point, but there way too many places and things to discover aside from it!
