Recommended Travel Adaptor for Sweden
We’ve reviewed and tested a wide range of adaptors ourselves. Safety, charging speed and durability were all compared. This is the one we trust and recommend.
Left your adaptor at home? Airports and local shops tend to have them. But having your own is safer, cheaper, and far less stressful.
Sweden is often visited alongside Denmark and Norway. It’s smart to check adaptor info — especially if you’re crossing borders.
Sockets in Sweden
In Sweden, you’ll find 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 power converter is only required when voltages differ. In Sweden it’s about the same as at home in Britain, so you can skip it.
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
Packing smart means more than just choosing the right clothes. A luggage scale saves you from surprise charges, a power bank makes sure your devices last the day, and packing cubes keep everything tidy. They’re simple tools that take away a lot of the hassle.
