Recommended Travel Adaptor for Albania
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:
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.
Albania is often combined with nearby countries like North Macedonia and Montenegro. Worth a quick check of the plug info — small differences can exist.
Sockets in Albania
Albania uses 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?
A voltage converter only helps if the supply is different. In Albania the mains voltage lines up with the UK, so there’s no need.
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
Travelling light doesn’t mean leaving the essentials behind. A luggage scale is a lifesaver at check-in, a power bank makes sure your gadgets are always ready, and packing cubes keep everything neat and easy to find. We’ve used them on countless trips, and they’ve earned their spot in our bags every time.
