Power Adapters

Modern day technology devices such as phones, tablets, laptops, cameras and more need regular electric charging so it's essential to take the right charging equipment on your trip. Most of the gadgets guests take to Italy are dual voltage which means they only need a power adapter as the wall sockets may be different from what you are used to.

Power adapters tend to be inexpensive, you'll need the right one for Italy. The most common wall sockets in Italy are the EU standard plug type C, F but you may also find type L. Frequent travellers often have an all-in-one adapter that works all around the world, this would be suitable for all Italian wall socket types.

Electricity in Italy complies to the European standard rules, so wall sockets have 220 to 240 volts alternating at 50 cycles per second output. If your gadget or appliance is not dual voltage and requires a different voltage then you’ll need a power converter (or transformer) to convert to 220 to 240 volts.

Special attention should be given to high power appliances such as hair dryers or styling appliances. Read the manufacturers recommendations before you travel to avoid causing harm to yourself or others.
