Recommended Travel Adaptor for Czech Republic
We’ve tested countless travel adaptors on the road. After checking safety, durability, charging speed and value, this one stood out. It’s the adaptor we recommend.
Abroad with no adaptor? You’ll find some for sale at airports and in town. Just bear in mind they’re often overpriced and not the best quality.
The Czech Republic is often combined with trips to Poland and Slovakia. It’s a good idea to check the plug info — neighbouring countries may still use different systems.
Sockets in Czech Republic
The plug types you’ll find in Czech Republic are Type C and E 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 E
Type E sockets have two round pins and a hole for the socket’s earth pin. UK Type G plugs do not fit into Type E sockets.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
Converters are only useful where voltages vary. In Czech Republic , the mains is practically the same as back in Britain, so you won’t need one.
Before you plug in abroad, make sure to check the voltage label. Devices marked ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ can handle different voltages, so no converter needed.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You

We’ve put them to the test, and they really are worth packing.
