Plugs of the world
Check now whether or not you need an adapter before packing your suitcase, and look up the type of plug you need to travel to each country in the world.
If you are a frequent traveller, you will know how annoying it is to always have to carry a plug adapter with you, and even more so to know which adapter you need to bring. This mess began during the electrical revolution, and today it obliges tourists to travel equipped with adapters.
There are currently 14 different types of plug in the world, ranging from A to N. Below we show you what each of them looks like and where they are used, taken from the list of the International Electrotechnical Commission.
