In Europe, the electricity supply is 230 volts with a frequency of 50 Hz. The sockets are of type C and type F. Type C is the standard Euro plug, while type F is also known as Schuko. Both are compatible with plug types C, E, and F.
If you’re traveling from most European countries, your plugs will usually fit without a problem. However, travelers coming from the United Kingdom, North America, Australia, Japan, and several other regions will need a suitable adapter.
Most modern electronics such as phones, laptops, and tablets are designed to handle the 230 V supply, as they come with built-in power converters. Where you do need to be careful is with high-wattage appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, or similar devices. If they’re made for lower voltage (such as 110 V in North America), they can easily burn out. For those, we recommend bringing a power converter or buying a European version to use during your stay.
