You only need your passport. Do you plan on recharging your iPad? How will you do that? You do realise that US rechargers do not work in Europe?
If you bring your mobile phone, your US provider will probably charge you a fortune if you actually use it. You can find Internet cafes in cities if you need to contact your family or communicate with anyone. It will be much cheaper.
