Pleasant temperatures in July mean you can pack light but flexibel pieces. Think cotton t-shirts, comfortable walking shorts, and one warmer layer for evenings. A light sweater or denim jacket works well. With minimal rainfall expected, you can leave the rain gear at home. And with plenty of sunshine hours, don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen, and maybe a sun hat.
