SWITZERLAND | Which Adapter Do I Need? Electricity & Plugs Explained

Hey guys, welcome back to another Switzerland basics video! This time we are discussing everything you need to know about plugs/outlets and electronics!

☞ Key Points
- Switzerland uses plug Type J (this is only used in Switzerland + Lichtenstein, not in the rest of Europe)
- Switzerland also uses Type C (electronics with type C plug will fit in outlets in the EU except for in UK, Ireland, Cyprus and Malta)
- The voltage is 220 - 240 V in Switzerland
- Only bring dual voltage electronics or electronics designed for 220 - 240 V
- If your electronic is NOT dual voltage you need an adapter PLUS a converter (but I do not recommend this as a long term plan!)
- If your electronics are EU plug Type F, they will not fit in Swiss sockets even though they look very similar! The prongs are too big.

***forgot to mention it but these USB plugs are great, you don't need adapters for your phone charger and other USB items...these are better and work in most of the EU + Swiss!
