Power plugs, sockets and travel adapter in Croatia

The local supply in Croatia is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.

OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.

Croatia's Adriatic coast is lined with medieval walled towns, clear turquoise water and island escapes. Dubrovnik, Split and the Plitvice Lakes are among Europe's most striking destinations.

There, the main plug types C and F are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.

Tip Croatia uses type C and F sockets, standard across much of Europe. Travelers planning a multi-country Balkans itinerary will find a single European adapter sufficient for Croatia and most neighboring countries.
