Recommended Travel Adaptor for Zaanse Schans
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.
Realised abroad that you’ve left your adaptor behind? You’ll often find them in airports and shops nearby. Still, carrying your own is cheaper and more reliable.
Zaanse Schans is often included in trips that also cover Belgium and Germany. Plug types are usually compatible, but it’s still worth confirming.
Sockets in Zaanse Schans
In Zaanse Schans, you’ll find 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?
Converters only matter when voltages clash. In Zaanse Schans the supply is pretty much the same as the UK’s, so you’re sorted.
Don’t forget to check the voltage label on your device before use overseas. If it’s stamped ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, it’ll work in most places without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s not just your adaptor that matters when you’re abroad. A digital luggage scale keeps check-in drama at bay, a power bank gives you peace of mind on long journeys, and packing cubes make your suitcase far easier to manage. Once you’ve tried them, you’ll wonder how you coped before.
