Recommended Travel Adaptor for Bahrein Rome
We’ve researched widely and tried this adaptor ourselves while travelling, weighing up value, quality, safety and performance — here’s 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.
Rome is often part of a trip that also includes France and Switzerland. Plug types are usually compatible, but it’s smart to check before you go.
Sockets in Rome
Rome 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?
Converters are only useful where voltages vary. In Rome, the mains is practically the same as back in Britain, so you won’t need one.
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
No one likes last-minute stress at the airport or hunting for chargers abroad. That’s why we always pack a luggage scale to dodge fees, a power bank to stay connected, and packing cubes to keep everything neat. They take up little space but make a world of difference.
