Norway is home to some of Europe's most dramatic scenery, with deep fjords, northern lights, midnight sun and coastal villages that feel genuinely remote. It is a destination that rewards slow travel and outdoor exploration.
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.
