Always know what travel adapters, transformers you’ll need for a vacation anywhere in the world with our handy guide.

Electronics are an essential must pack item for us now when we travel. There’s nothing worse for the modern traveler than seeing a low battery warning on your smartphone when you try to work out directions or post vacation pictures on Facebook. Whether it’s to charge your Kindle up or plug in your hair dryer, you’ll need to know if they’re compatible with the voltage and plug type in the country or region you’re visiting.

If the voltage and plug type differs from what’s used in the United States, you’ll need an adapter, converter, or perhaps both. To make it easier to figure out what you’ll need we’ve put together a list of the most popular travel adapters used per country and region, along with helpful illustrations.

A little more information

It’s a minefield out there when it comes to travel adapters to USB adapters, voltage converters, differing plug types, wireless adapters, adapter/converter combos and universal travel adapters. Choosing the right one for you depends on your travel needs.

A small word of warning, unless you want a sad smartphone or laptop for your trip you may need a transformer that can convert the voltage safely, as well as an adapter if the plug type is different from what’s used in the States. However, you can get travel adapter/converter combo units that can handle voltage between 100v-240v. But make sure by checking the adapter itself as it’ll be listed on the device.

You’ll find some plug types are used across wider regions of the world. A European plug is typically a type C, while the American and Canadian plug is typically type A. However, in Asia you’ll find different plug types being used in different countries. These are broad rules, and to be safe and prepared you’re better off knowing exactly which plug type and voltage is used in the region you’re visiting. Check out our handy list:
