Recommended Travel Adaptor for Monaco
We’ve taken the time to research and test different adaptors on real journeys. Safety and reliability were our top priorities. The adaptor below is the one we recommend.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Monaco is commonly visited along with France and Italy. Plug types are usually similar, but still worth confirming before you go.
Sockets in Monaco
In Monaco, you’ll find Type C, E, and F plugs and sockets.
Type C
Type C sockets have two round pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they take a slimmer plug without an earth pin or fuse.
Type E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Type F
Type F sockets have two round pins with two earth clips on the side. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type F sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
In Monaco there’s no call for a converter, as the voltage is near enough to the UK standard.
Before you connect to the mains abroad, make sure the label says ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ — in that case, no voltage converter is needed.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
