Electrical Outlets and Adapters in Italy

# Electrical Outlets and Adapters in Italy

Boring but essential. Don't pack the wrong adapter.

What visitors ask

Plug type?

Mainly Type F (round, 2 pins) — same as Germany. Some older buildings Type L (3 pins in a line).

Voltage?

230V/50Hz. US chargers (laptop, phone) handle this — just need the plug shape.

Hair dryer/curling iron?

US 110V devices may burn out. Buy a dual-voltage travel one.

UK adapters?

Same plug situation — bring a UK→EU adapter.

Hotel outlets?

Often only 1–2 by the desk. Bring a small power strip.

Local tip

The €15 'universal adapter' from Amazon covers all of Europe + UK + US in one. Worth it.
