Power plugs, sockets and travel adapter in Liechtenstein

The local supply in Liechtenstein 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.

Liechtenstein is one of the world's smallest countries, a principality nestled between Switzerland and Austria with alpine scenery, a relaxed capital in Vaduz and a surprisingly active arts and culture scene for its size.

There, the main plug types C and J 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 Liechtenstein uses the same type J socket as Switzerland. If you already have a Swiss adapter from another stop in the region, it works fine here. Travelers from continental Europe using standard round-pin plugs will still need a type J adapter.
