Recommended Travel Adaptor for the Faroe Islands
Many adaptors didn’t pass our tests, but this one did. We looked at safety, durability and value for money. That’s why we confidently recommend it.
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
The Faroe Islands are often combined with trips to Iceland and Denmark. Island plug systems can vary, so it’s worth double-checking.
Sockets in the Faroe Islands
In the Faroe Islands, you’ll find Type F and K plugs and 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.
Type K
Type K sockets have two round pins and a grounding pin that sticks out from the socket itself. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type K sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
You’ll only ever need a voltage converter if your device’s voltage doesn’t match the country’s. In the Faroe Islands you won’t need one — the mains voltage is roughly the same as in the UK.
Before charging abroad, glance at the mains label: ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ confirms it’ll run safely without a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
It’s often the overlooked bits of kit that help the most. A luggage scale spares you the stress of overweight bags, a power bank keeps you going when outlets are scarce, and packing cubes keep everything in its place. We’ve tested them on the road, and they really earn their keep.
