Choosing the wrong travel adaptor can damage your devices — or worse, leave you without power. We don’t sell them. But we’ve tested and researched the best option for your trip, looking at voltage, safety, price, charging speed and durability. Here’s our top choice:
No adaptor with you and already abroad? You’re not out of options — many airports and local shops sell them. Still, bringing your own is the simplest way to avoid paying over the odds or ending up with something that barely works.
Florence is usually part of a trip that also includes France and Switzerland. It’s smart to check the plug types — there can be subtle differences.
Sockets in Florence
Florence uses Type F and L 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 L
Type L sockets have three round pins in a single straight line. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type L sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
A power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Florence it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
Always check the voltage label before you plug in abroad. If it reads ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, your kit will work just fine without a converter — most modern laptops, tablets and chargers already do.

We’ve tried them ourselves, and they’ve proved their worth again and again.
