Switzerland Travel Tips

In Switzerland, the standard voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz. The power plugs and sockets used are of type C and J. Type C plugs have two round pins and are commonly found throughout Europe, while type J plugs have three round pins arranged in a triangle shape, which are specific to Switzerland. It's essential to have the appropriate adapters or converters if your devices use a different type of plug to ensure they can be safely connected to Swiss power outlets. Additionally, it's wise to check the voltage and compatibility of your electrical devices before plugging them in to avoid damage.

Most modern hotels, accommodations, and public spaces in Switzerland provide electrical outlets compatible with a variety of plug types, including those commonly used in Europe and internationally. However, it's always a good idea to confirm the outlet type and voltage compatibility before plugging in your devices.
