Recommended Travel Adaptor for Bahrein Amsterdam
We’ve researched extensively and tested many adaptors abroad. Safety, speed, durability and cost were all considered. This one is by far the best choice.
Didn’t pack an adaptor? You can still grab one when you arrive. Still, it’s better to bring your own than risk paying too much for something unreliable.
Amsterdam is often part of a trip that also includes Belgium and Germany. It’s a good idea to check the plug info — even nearby countries can have small differences.
Sockets in Amsterdam
The plug types you’ll find in Amsterdam are Type C 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 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?
You don’t need to worry about a converter in Amsterdam; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.
Before using your device overseas, check the small print on the voltage label. Anything marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ will run without a converter, which covers most modern electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
A few smart extras can make travelling so much easier.

We’ve tried and tested them ourselves, and they really do make a difference.
