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