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