In Montenegro, they use Type C and F plugs and sockets. The mains voltage is 230 V, and the frequency is 50 Hz.
So, you’ll definitely need a travel adaptor in Montenegro. Their plugs and sockets aren’t the same as our Type G back in the UK.

Recommended Travel Adaptor for Montenegro
We tried many adaptors while travelling and checked them against strict criteria. Safety, performance and price were key. The adaptor below came out on top.
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.
Montenegro is usually visited together with Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia. It’s a good idea to check the adaptor info — they’re often similar, but not always identical.
Sockets in Montenegro
The plug types you’ll find in Montenegro are 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?
You don’t need to worry about a converter in Montenegro; the voltage is virtually identical to what we use in the UK.
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.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
A few smart extras can make travelling so much easier. A digital luggage scale saves you from nasty surprises at the airport, a power bank keeps your phone alive when you need it most, and packing cubes stop your suitcase turning into chaos. We’ve tried and tested them ourselves, and they really do make a difference.
