Travel tool
Travel adapter checker
Pick where your devices come from and where you are going. We will compare plug types and voltage to flag the two common issues: socket shape and voltage mismatch.

Plug adapter
Adapter neededYou should expect to need a plug adapter. United Kingdom uses Type G plugs, while Germany uses Type C/F outlets.
Voltage converter
Likely fineA voltage converter is less likely to be needed based on the listed voltage, but always check the input label on each charger or appliance.

Build your Germany checklistHow the adapter checker works
This tool compares the plug types and listed voltage of your home country and your destination. If the plug shapes differ, you will likely need a plug adapter; if the voltage differs significantly, single-voltage appliances may need a converter. Dual-voltage devices — most modern phone, laptop and camera chargers, marked "100–240V" on the brick — only need a plug adapter regardless of voltage.
The result is general guidance based on each country's most common standards. Actual outlets can vary by building age, region and venue, so always read the input label on each device before you plug it in. When in doubt, a universal adapter plus checking each charger's voltage rating covers most travel scenarios safely.
Voltage and plug data per country is compiled from public references and linked on each country page.
