Common questions
Do I need a plug adapter from Australia to Italy?
Yes. Italy uses Type C/F/L sockets, which Australia plugs do not fit, so pack a suitable adapter.
Will my devices work on Italy’s voltage?
Italy runs at 230V, 50Hz. Dual-voltage chargers (most phones and laptops) are fine; single-voltage devices may need a converter.
