Recommended Travel Adaptor for Norway
We’ve taken the time to research and test different adaptors on real journeys. Safety and reliability were our top priorities. The adaptor below is the one 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.
Norway is often combined with travel to Sweden and Denmark. Plugs are often similar, but it’s still a good idea to double-check.
Sockets in Norway
The plug types you’ll find in Norway 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?
In Norway there’s no call for a converter, as the voltage is near enough to the UK standard.
Double-check your device’s voltage label when travelling. ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’ means you won’t need a converter, which is the case for most up-to-date electronics.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
Travelling can be stressful enough without the little annoyances. A luggage scale saves you from those eye-watering charges at the airport, a power bank means your phone won’t die mid-journey, and packing cubes keep everything in order. We’ve taken them on trips ourselves, and they really do make a difference.
