The Best Travel Plug Adapter

By Geoffrey Morrison

If you want to use electronic devices in a different country, you’ll probably need a travel plug adapter. After spending more than 30 hours researching and testing 14 options, we found the Epicka Universal Travel Adapter to be the best one. It fits four types of outlets, and it has more USB ports than any of its competitors, so it can can charge more devices at higher speeds.

Everything we recommend

Epicka Universal Travel Adapter

Best universal travel adapter.

With four plugs that will work in most countries, plus faster-charging USB ports (and more of them) than its competitors, this adapter is the best all-around choice.

Buying Options

Ceptics International Worldwide Travel Plug Adapter 5 Piece Set

The best plug adapter.

Individually, these tiny plug adapters are smaller, lighter, and cheaper than any universal travel adapter. To juice up multiple devices, though, you’d need a separate multiport charger too.

Ceptics Plug Adapter Set

Heavier, but sturdier.

The plugs in this set of five are bigger and heavier than our top pick for plug adapters, but more solidly built.

In a sea of almost-identical travel adapters, the Epicka Universal Travel Adapter stands out, combining the best of the features we were looking for. It contains the three most common international plugs and a US-style plug, which should cover you in the majority of countries around the world. It has the most USB ports—four of the standard USB-A and one USB-C—of any universal adapter we tested, and it could charge more of our devices faster. A replaceable fuse and an included spare should take the brunt of any accidental, unfortunate, or shockingly bad connections. The Epicka is fairly compact and well built, and it even comes with a nylon case.

However, no universal travel adapter is truly universal, and they’re all a lot bulkier and more expensive than simple plug adapters. If you want the smallest adapter possible, or if you’re going someplace where a universal adapter won’t work (more on that in a minute), then a plug adapter could be what you need.

The Ceptics tiny plug adapters are barely larger than the prongs they convert. Small, simple, and cheap, they’re perfect for someone who wants to carry only the adapter they’ll need and who already has a multiport USB wall charger they like. Like our universal adapter picks, this set contains the three most common international plugs and the US plug. However, it also includes a somewhat rarer plug used in some European countries that has two thick, cylindrical prongs. This means that the Ceptics will likely cover you in even more places—as long as you pack the appropriate plug adapter.

These plug adapters are bigger than our top pick for plug adapters, but this means they offer a larger surface for chargers to brace against, which makes them more stable and less likely to fall off the wall. (We’ll call these “ Ceptics White ” to minimize confusion and set them apart from our “Ceptics Black” top pick.) While you can purchase these as a five-pack, which contains basically the same assortment of plugs as the Ceptics Black set, the company also sells, in this same model line, three-packs for nearly a dozen specific regions. So if you’re headed to a country not covered by the so-called universal travel adapters (for example, Brazil , India , Israel , or South Africa ), or if you want to purchase multiple adapters for your gear, there’s probably an option available here.

A note up here, which we’ll discuss in detail below: All of these are adapters only . They do not convert voltage. The majority of your electronic devices only need adapters—the voltage converter is built into the charger itself. (If the device charges via USB, just about any USB port will suffice, though different ports may provide different charging speeds.) Check out Do you need a voltage converter? if you’re curious about these aspects.

The research

Why you should trust us, who should get this, how we picked, how we tested, our pick: epicka universal travel adapter, flaws but not dealbreakers, our pick: ceptics international worldwide travel plug adapter 5 piece set, runner-up: ceptics adapter plug set for worldwide international travel use, do you need a voltage converter, the competition.

In addition to my work here at Wirecutter, I also write about tech and travel for CNET, Forbes, and Wirecutter’s parent company, The New York Times . Perhaps more relevant to this guide, I usually spend a good chunk of each year (global pandemics aside) as a digital nomad, living months at a time in different countries all over the world. My current country count is 50, spread across six continents, and since I travel with a lot of electronics gear for work, being able to plug in is obviously crucial.

I’ve owned and used many different types of universal-style travel adapters, and several different companies’ worth of plug adapters, plus I’ve talked with countless travelers about what they like … or, more important, what they hate. We also got some advice from Wirecutter's Mark Smirniotis, who used to oversee our power devices section.

Do you travel? Are you going to travel sometime in the (near or far) future? Do you want to be able to charge or use electronic devices in a different country? If so, you’re probably going to need a travel plug adapter. There’s a variety of different outlet types around the world, not to mention different voltages and frequencies, so you can’t expect your phone charger to just plug in and work wherever you’re headed. Sure, Canada, Mexico, Japan, and many other countries use the same small pair of prongs as the US, but places like continental Europe, the UK, Australia, India, Russia, and pretty much everywhere else do not.

You have two main choices when it comes to travel plug adapters: the universal-style travel adapters (that’s one device with multiple sets of prongs that you extend and retract) and smaller, individual plug adapters that usually come in sets. Both have pros and cons.

Should you get a universal travel adapter or a simple plug adapter?

Universal travel adapters are for the person who wants one handy adapter that will work in just about every country. You can keep it next to your passport and toss it in your luggage when you’re packing. The ones we considered have USB ports, so you don’t need to worry about bringing a separate charger for anything that charges via USB (think  phones  and noise-cancelling headphones ). However, these are bulky, they have parts that can break, and even the best will take longer to charge your phone or tablet than will a good USB wall charger .

The alternative is small and simple plug adapters. These attach to the prongs of your current USB charger (whether it’s a multiport one or the charger that came with your device) to allow them to fit into a foreign outlet. These can work because nearly every modern charger can adjust to the available voltage in pretty much every country, as long as you can adapt the prongs to fit in the outlet. (More on this in Do you need a voltage converter? ) These are great for people who already have a multiport USB charger they like and don’t want to deal with the additional bulk of a universal travel adapter. Also, these are necessary if you’re traveling to a country that has outlets incompatible with any of the four types included in a universal adapter (which, as that sentence reveals, aren’t actually universal).

The choice between universal travel adapters and individual plug adapters ultimately comes down to personal preference. Both types work, and different people will like or dislike each. If you’re not sure which will be best for you, read each section here closely.

Here’s the big caveat: If you’re planning on bringing something with you that has a motor, a heating element, or a single power cord that leads directly from the plug to the device (i.e. there’s no power brick or wall wart ), it almost certainly won’t work with a travel plug adapter. Most people will only need one of the adapter choices we recommend, but very occasionally there’s a piece of gear that needs a voltage converter. For more on that topic, also check out the voltage converters section below.

Where in the world will your travel plug adapter work?

All universal travel adapters have four different sets of prongs, which cover most countries most Americans tend to travel to. First is the big, wide-blade UK-style plug (often designated "Type G”) . This will work in places like the UK, obviously, and also Ireland, Hong Kong, and some other parts of Asia and the Middle East.

Next is the round Europe-style plug, aka the Europlug (Type C) . However, this is where we run into complications. This plug should work in most of Europe—it was designed, in fact, to fit into a wide range of European outlet types. For instance, parts of Italy, Switzerland, and Denmark each use different plugs from one another. Should this double-round one work in those locations? Yes. Will it? Hard to say. I’ve stayed in places where my Europlug didn’t work, yet it did in the hostel before and the hotel after—all within the same small region of a country. With any luck, if this happens to you, the place you’re staying will have a power strip that will let you plug in, though there’s no guarantee of that.

Third is the angled small-blade style (Type I) found in Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and other parts of Oceania, and a few other areas. Some universal adapters have one set of blades for this and the US style—you just manually rotate the blades into the correct position depending on where you are. In our testing, we had no trouble getting them to work.

The last, the small US-style blades (Type A or B) , mean you could use our picks to visit the US and other countries that have the same plugs—if, that is, you’re reading this from outside the US.

What are the places not covered by these four styles? Some parts of Brazil, South Africa, India, and more. I’ve stayed in parts of Italy, for example, that should have Europlugs but only had something called Type L . I’ve stayed in houses in Brazil that had Type N , but the Europlug fit enough to work. In others, it wouldn’t.

To find out which plugs you might need while traveling, refer to the excellent Wikipedia article called Mains electricity by country that shows pictures of (almost) all the possible plugs and outlets, along with a list of the world’s countries and (almost all of) the style or styles they use. This is invaluable information to check before you leave. If multiple plug types are listed for a specific country and you’re staying in an older building, you should probably assume its outlets will require whatever plug isn’t on a universal travel adapter, since these only have the most common, newer varieties of plugs.

Which brings us to perhaps the most important fact: Getting your gear to work in different countries isn’t quite as simple as it should be, and there’s no single solution that’s guaranteed to work for everyone. Our picks should work for you, but you may have some random piece of equipment, or be traveling to some country, for which our “good for most” picks just won’t work. (Case in point: One Wirecutter editor visited Iceland recently. The house she stayed in had outlets unlike anything on Wikipedia’s chart, and the plug adapters she’d used elsewhere in Reykjavik didn’t fit at all. It turns out the mystery sockets belonged to an obscure Italian system from the 1960s that was popular in Iceland for a time. Luckily, the hosts had power strips in the house that her adapters fit into.) We’ll try to mention such potential caveats when we can, but the world is a big place, and when it comes to electricity and wall outlets, there’s a lot of variation. That’s important to keep in mind.

There are approximately 70 billion universal travel plug adapters on the Web. However, after spending 20 hours staring at them, I found there’s only about a dozen basic designs—and countless “companies” selling them. Among those dozen or so actually different products, I saw a few distinctions that helped narrow the field. Since most options had four USB ports, that seemed like a reasonable minimum to require. Their maximum power output, rated in amps, became a determining factor in our rankings. The higher the maximum output, the faster the port will charge your gear.

Some plugs came with a replaceable fuse, which seemed like a good idea, and a few included a replacement for said fuse, which seemed even better. This way, if either you plug the adapter into a sketchy outlet or a roommate at the hostel uses your adapter to plug in their completely necessary portable arc welder, the fuse will go, not your adapter. Then it’s just a matter of swapping in the included spare fuse and you’re good to go.

These fuses have a maximum power rating, and therefore the adapters have a maximum wattage rating. However, you shouldn’t be connecting anything with a high enough power draw to trip these fuses. Check out Do you need a voltage converter? for more information. The short version is that recharging portable electronic devices is fine, but powering anything that has a motor or heats up is not. Nearly every appliance or device has its power draw written on it somewhere , so worst case, you can compare that to what’s listed on the adapter. And so you don’t have to look it up, volts × amps = watts.

The other option we considered and tested is individual plug adapters. These small adapters attach to the prongs of your current charger so they’ll plug into a foreign outlet. In deciding which of these to test, we judged by size and available plug-type options. As you’ll see with our two picks, one is exceptionally small, and the other offers sturdier plugs that are available in a range of plug types that’s wide enough to cover you no matter where in the world you’re headed.

The universal travel adapters are far more similar to one another than they are different. However, getting in a dozen and playing with them for a while revealed that some felt better put together than others. After spending several minutes with each one, forcefully extending the various plugs, slamming them back in, and just being fairly rough with them, I found it easy to tell which felt like they’d last a few trips, and which wouldn’t. None felt like you’d own them for a lifetime. Since none are expensive, though, this didn’t seem like a major issue.

All had a US-style plug, so I tested each one in several outlets around my house—some new, some old. I didn’t find much difference in how they fit and worked. I connected several chargers and plugs to the output side of each adapter as well. Again, not much difference. Last, I checked how bright the LED on each was, since a too-bright LED keeping me awake has been a pet peeve of mine for years. Many USB chargers have LEDs bright enough to practically read from; I eliminated any universal adapter that had this problem.

For the plug adapters, I tried plugging in several devices, as well as inserting them into outlets around my house. I checked how tight the connections were and how they felt overall. Would they fall apart with simple use or perhaps hold up to being tossed around in bags for a few weeks or months?

In reality, the testing for all the adapter types didn’t reveal much variation in terms of performance. These are all remarkably similar products. How they felt to use and their different features played a far bigger role in establishing our final picks.

While all the universal travel adapters we tested included the same three types of plugs (plus the familiar US-style one), they differed in how many USB ports each had and how quickly they could charge—and that’s where the Epicka Universal Travel Adapter excelled. It has five USB ports: four of the standard USB-A size and one of the newer USB-C. (You may not have a USB-C device at the moment, but you likely will in the future.) These will let you charge, say, three phones, two tablets, and—via the adapter’s main plug—a camera battery that has its own wall charger, all at once.

In addition, and just as important, is the maximum power output: 5.6 amps. This was the highest of all the adapters we considered, which means you can charge more of your devices at higher speeds before hitting the max output.

Keep in mind that the maximum output per USB-A port is 2.4 amps, the max on the USB-C port is 3 amps, and if you’re using all five ports you won’t be able to charge every connected device at full speed—it’ll only give you that 5.6 amp output in total . The output is still far lower than what you can get from a decent USB charger combined with our pick for a simple plug adapter (more on that in the plug adapter section , below), but it’s significantly better than most universal travel adapters, which often max out under 3 amps total.

The Epicka has three sliders on one side, with a button on the other to lock/unlock your chosen plug in place. This arrangement feels more secure than the semi-locking or slide-locking system that some other universals use. However, this is plastic-on-plastic, so don’t expect a tank. As these things go, the Epicka feels sturdy. The US and Australia share a pair of prongs—you twist the prongs manually to set them up for an angled Australia-style outlet.

The four regular USB plugs are all on one side, which is tidier than the “flailing gibbon” look of some other universal adapters.

The above details were what put the Epicka at the top of our list, but the adapter has a few other features that are the cherry on top, so to speak. For instance, it comes with a small nylon case and a USB cable with a split end, so it works with either Micro-USB or Lightning devices. While the adapter has an LED to show you it’s working, the glow isn’t so bright as to be a distraction at night.

One last note. There are multiple Epicka universal adapters, and even Epicka can’t keep the names straight. We’ve seen this one called, variously, Universal Travel Adapter, International Travel Adapter, Travel Adapter-2, Universal USB Travel Power Adapter (2018), and even Universal Travel Adapter One Worldwide International Wall Charger AC Plug Adaptor with 5.6A Smart Power 3.0A USB Type-C for USA EU UK AUS Cell Phone Tablet Laptop (Grey). Best to follow the link above. Also, you may find another company selling a twin of this. The Epicka has the most reviews and offers free shipping with Prime. The other options we saw have few or no reviews, or charge outrageous shipping costs.

As with all of these adapters, I wouldn’t expect the Epicka to last forever. Given its locking design and case, it’s probably going to last longer than many others, but all of these are almost entirely inexpensive plastic devices. Just something to keep in mind.

While the prongs themselves felt secure, and being able to lock them into place was nice, it’s entirely possible that the size and weight of the adapter, plus whatever you’ve plugged into it, could pull it out of an outlet. That is, unfortunately, a risk with every universal adapter.

Another risk with any universal adapter—as we mentioned above—is that it’s not going to work where you’re headed. Epicka claims it will work in 150 countries, but there are more than 200 countries (the exact number is harder to pin down than you might realize) . And even in each of those 150 countries, there’s no guarantee that the adapter will work in every outlet in every building. Plug adapters are a somewhat safer bet to work specifically where you’re going, but they have their own downsides, which we’ll discuss below.

Also, while the Epicka is a little smaller than some of the others we tested, all universal adapters are much bulkier than plug adapters. As someone who has spent most of the past several years traveling, I feel plug adapters are far easier and less annoying to deal with. This is largely why we have two recommendations for that category.

The Ceptics Plug Adapter set combines everything we were looking for in plug adapters: small size, solid build quality, and—well, small size is really the thing here. Each adapter is no larger than it needs to be to fit over the American-style prongs of your charger. The plastic feels solid and not flimsy. Each adapter has the region or countries it should be used in written on the side. The five plugs in the set are the same four as you’ll find on the universal adapters recommended above, plus the thicker, round European-style prongs used in parts of France, parts of Asia, and elsewhere.

Though the set comes with a small case, you probably wouldn’t be traveling with the entire set very often. Instead, you’d pack just the specific adapter or adapters you’d be using on each trip. These are for the person who wants to travel as light and as simply as possible. I myself, and my friends who travel frequently, swear by these small, inexpensive adapters. Also, if you have a USB multiport charger you like or a charger that’s especially fast, you can use that charger with just a tiny, almost weightless plug at the end.

However, plug adapters aren’t for everyone, and that’s why they’re not our main pick. For one thing, if you don’t already own a multiport USB wall charger, you’ll still have to get one if you don’t want to carry a charger for each device. Also, depending on what you’re connecting with these plug adapters, your charger or device could wobble and maybe fall out. The connections inside are solid enough that this shouldn’t happen, but it’s possible. Our universal-adapter picks, as well as the other Ceptics set we discuss below, have a larger “face” for your charger to brace against—more like that of a traditional outlet—so there’s less chance of gravity having its way with your gear.

Being small and inexpensive, plug adapters are not built for high-power, high-wattage items, though hopefully we’ve persuaded you to leave those at home . If you’re charging a battery, you should be fine. If you’re running a motor, probably not. Laptops, yes; mini-fridges, no.

Last, these things being so small, you could easily lose them in your bag or leave them behind in an outlet somewhere, if you’re the type of person who loses things. (That’s why I usually keep mine connected to my charger.)

For a hardcore traveler like me, these are my pick. They’re cheap, light, and small, and they work.

Though made by the same company as the Ceptics International Worldwide Travel Plug Adapter 5 Piece Set—and bearing a confusingly similar name—the plug adapters in the Ceptics Adapter Plug Set for Worldwide International Travel Use are, as you can see, a completely different design. They’re much larger than the other Ceptics (let’s call the previous set Ceptics Black and this one Ceptics White for simplicity). Nonetheless, they’re each smaller than a universal adapter, and they have one key benefit over our top plug-adapter pick: You can purchase them in multipacks for individual regions, including regions beyond those covered by the Ceptics Black set.

The Ceptics White are small, but not as small as the Ceptics Black. That extra size does offer one benefit, however: These adapters have more of a face on the output side, so there’s more surface for your charger to lean against. This means your charger is less likely to fall out. Again, neither set of plugs we tested had loose connections, but this is always a risk, as chargers vary. One other difference: In place of the two-pronged US plug we saw (type A) in our other picks, this set includes the three-pronged grounded version .

The real benefit to the Ceptics Whites, however, is not their physical characteristics. This range is one of your only options if you want to buy a plug adapter for a specific region or country. Headed to India or South Africa ? A universal adapter probably won’t work, but you can get a three-pack of Ceptics that will. You can also buy the offset three-prong and in-line three-prong for Switzerland and Italy, respectively, as well as plugs for Israel and Brazil , both the thin and the thick European plugs, and of course, Australia and UK versions too. They cost less than $10 per set. Any of those links will bring you to a page that lets you choose among plugs for different regions—definitely verify at checkout that you’ve picked the correct ones!

These adapters are ideal for someone headed to a country not covered by a universal adapter, or who has multiple chargers they want to plug in while traveling. They’re not quite as compact as the Ceptics Black adapters, but for most people, this difference in size won’t be an issue. I’ve traveled with these Ceptics plugs for many years, and they show no signs of wear.

Every adapter you see in this guide merely sends the current from the wall directly to whatever you plug into it. These are not voltage converters. Which is to say, if you’re in the UK, whatever you plug into the front of the adapter is going to get the UK’s 220 volts/50 hertz electricity, not the 120 volt/60 hertz that you’d get in the US. Travel plug adapters don’t convert the voltage; they only convert the plug . (Our universal picks do convert the local current to USB voltage, but only for the USB ports.)

However, for the vast majority of people, this is all you need. It’s exceptionally rare that anyone would need a voltage converter anymore. This is because most so-called wall warts, like on your phone charger or your camera’s battery charger, will convert the wall voltage into what it needs automatically.

Take a look at your charger. Somewhere, it should say “100–220V 50/60Hz.” This means it can accept anything between 100 V and 220 V, which covers domestic electricity pretty much everywhere, and either 50 Hz or 60 Hz, which again covers everything. If your charger doesn’t say this, it might not work with a travel adapter. If it only says "120V–60Hz," it will almost certainly not work—or not work correctly—with a travel adapter.

But here’s the other reason we don’t recommend buying a voltage converter: Your device might not work even with one. Anything with a motor (like hair dryers), anything with a heating element (like a clothing iron or a curling iron), or anything with a plug that goes directly to the device (as in no wall wart), probably won’t work in another country regardless of what kind of converter or adapter you bring . The good news is, pretty much every hotel, hostel, and Airbnb will have a hair dryer you can borrow. This is one of those times where we can’t cover everything you might want to bring, but for the vast majority of you, you don’t need a voltage converter. Either it’s not necessary, or the device that needs one won’t work anyway. Worst case, if it’s something cheap and you really need it—a hot pot or an electric kettle, say—consider buying one at your destination.

One occasional exception is electric razors. These often fall into the “single cable, no wall wart, has a motor” category. Which is to say, they probably won’t work without a voltage converter. (Again, check the fine print near the plug or on the device itself.) Many hotels have a shaver plug in the bathroom , with a US-style outlet and US-style 110 volt-or-so voltage. However, not every hotel will have these, and they’re very rare in hostels and Airbnbs. If you need one, best to call ahead and see if your hotel has them. Or use disposables on your trip.

It’s worth noting again for clarity, USB is USB, so if you’re just plugging in a USB cable , unless something is horribly wrong, one USB port’s voltage is the same as any other USB port’s voltage. How fast that port will charge your gear will vary (that’s related to amperage), but unless the charger is faulty, a USB port shouldn’t damage your gear.

We considered many more adapters than those listed here. However, the majority of travel adapters available boil down to just a dozen or so designs sold by myriad companies. We’ve listed two representatives of each of the most common designs, but in most cases, many more exist. Chances are, if it looks similar and has similar specs, it’s probably the same inside.

Universal travel adapters

Askali, Unidapt , others: Only 3.4 amps maximum output, which means it’ll take longer to charge all of your devices.

Bluegogo  (currently unavailable): Only two USB and slower-charging than our picks.

Bonaker: Formerly our runner-up pick, this travel adapter had the usual mix of four plug types to cover you in most countries, but its four USB-A ports were slower than our top pick’s, and it had no USB-C port at all. It’s also since disappeared from Amazon.

Bonazza , Urbo , others: Feels flimsy, even compared with others here. Two-piece design is more cumbersome than helpful. Only 3.4 amps maximum output.

Ceptics Travel Power Strip : The Travel Power Strip combines the interchangeable-plug aspect of the Ceptics Plug Adapter Set with a two-outlet power strip and short extension cord. It also has USB-A and USB-C outputs. If you have multiple non-USB items you want to charge at once—a laptop and a camera charger, for instance—this is a good option. But we think most travelers will prefer the more portable brick design of our picks over this power strip.

Conair Travel Smart : It has only one USB port, with a maximum of 1 amp, but with three outlets, it’s one of the few travel adapters that lets you plug in multiple non-USB devices.

Monoprice Compact Cube Universal Travel Adapter : I own one of these, and it’s fine, but if you’re going the universal route, our picks have USB charging for just a few dollars more. If you don’t need USB charging, our plug-adapter picks are probably better choices. Insten is a similar product but with, apparently, surge suppression built in. But as there’s no way to change the fuse, this is likely one-and-done if you plug in something too powerful.

Mu One (currently unavailable): The Mu offered a much higher power output than other travel adapters: 45 watts, enough to quickly charge even a big-battery device such as a MacBook Air. However, after trying and failing to launch a Mu Two in 2020, the company went out of business. The name and remaining assets were bought by a company called Discovery Club, which seems to be selling off the inventory.

Ougrand (green) : Same shape as the Unidapt, but with a USB-C in place of one of the regular USB connections; 3.4 amp max total.

Huanuo  (currently unavailable): A bit bulky, with three regular USB ports and one USB-C; 3.4 amps maximum.

WGGE , Jollyfit : Only 2.4 amps max, less than either of our picks.

Plug adapters

Bestek Grounded Universal Worldwide Plug : Likely made in the same factory as the Ceptics White plugs, the Bestek set looks the same and is roughly the same price. It offers a wide variety of plug types, but lacks the Type C Europlug that’s common in most adapter sets and usable across most of Europe. (The Europlug was invented to fit into a wide range of European outlet types.) If our Ceptics White pick is sold out, these will also work.

Lewis N. Clark Adapter Plug Kit  (currently unavailable): This kit looks fine, but it is more expensive and has one less plug compared with our Ceptics pick.

Insignia Global Travel Adapter Kit  (currently unavailable): The Insignia has a clever interlocking and compact design, akin to that of the old Flight 001 universal adapter (Flight 001, the specialty travel-gear retailer, is now no longer operating in the US), and the individual plugs feel solid. However, it is expensive compared with our picks, and it doesn’t offer anything that you couldn’t do with our picks just by connecting them end to end (if you wanted to).

Travelers these days have all types of gear and gadgets that require power: cellphones, headphones, cameras, laptops, and even their toothbrushes. And, when venturing abroad, you’ll often find that not every hotel, airport lounge, or even public mode of transportation accommodates the U.S. plug, which means you likely need an adapter and/or converter for international trips. 

Our favorite adapters and converters are compact, work in multiple countries, have several ports including both USB and AC sockets, and, of course, power your essentials without frying them. As avid travelers, we tested an array of products on actual trips across the world and ranked them based on ease of use, effectiveness, and value to bring you the best picks for every scenario. Below, find our favorite easy-to-use adapters and converters for your next international journey.

It’s able to charge six devices at once. 

This is not a converter, so you shouldn’t use it with high-power appliances like curling irons and hair dryers. 

Ready to use in more than 150 countries, this adapter from Epicka can charge six devices at the same time, as it comes with four USB-A ports, 1 USB-C port, and 1 AC socket. It works with all USB-enabled devices including iPhones and Androids, and can charge laptops, cameras, tablets, and power banks, too. It eliminates the need to purchase individual adapters for each trip, which makes it a great money-saving travel product . The adapter also has a built-in, double 8A fuse and safety shutters that keep children from trying to plug other items into the socket. The adapter comes in four different colors, and has a 1-year limited warranty. 

We love that it’s small and easy to pack, plus it’s simple to switch over to different prongs from country to country. The multiple USB ports are great for charging everything at once, and the adapter is super lightweight, so it isn’t adding much weight to your suitcase or carry-on either. We did find that the adapter was hard to fit in tight spots or use with older outlet styles in the UK and Hong Kong, but this didn’t happen often. 

The Details: 2.8 x 1.97 x 2.05 inches | 5.1 ounces | No converter | 6 ports | 1 AC, 4 USB-A, 1 USB-C | 240 volts

Best for Apple Users

Apple travel adapter kit.

• Effectiveness 5 /5

It’s exclusively for Apple products so you can trust it with those devices.

It only works with Apple's block-type power adapters.

This kit made by Apple, for Apple products, includes seven AC plugs that work for iPhones, iPods, iPads, and Mac laptops in North America, Japan, China, the UK, Europe, Korea, Australia, Hong Kong, and Brazil. Each one lists the regions the plug is compatible with, making it easy to grab what you need quickly. However, you will need Apple's power adapter brick to serve as a base; these tips work with Apple’s USB-C power adapters, MagSafe and MagSafe 2 power adapters, and 10-watt and 12-watt USB power adapters that come with devices (or can be purchased separately in a range of wattages including 12 watts , 35 watts, and 67 watts ).

We love this set because it’s an Apple-certified product, so we know our devices are safe. The adapters are also built to last, as one of our testers used the adapters for 10 years before having to replace some of them. The only thing we wish they added onto this set is a carrying case to hold all the pieces for traveling. 

The Details: 5.3 x 5.3 x 1.9 inches | 11.2 ounces | No converter | 1 port | 100-240 volts (10W, 12W, 30W, and 35W)

Most Compact

Ceptics travel adapter plug for south africa & botswana.

It comes with USB and AC outlet charging abilities in a compact plug. 

USB ports are on the bottom, instead of the top of the adapter. 

If you’re traveling through South Africa, Botswana, or Namibia, this compact adapter will allow you to charge up to three devices at once. The AC outlet allows you to plug your U.S. device into a Type M socket for South Africa, allowing you to charge up for safari adventures and more.  It works with cell phones, laptops, smart watches, tablets, and more, and we especially like that it has the ability for two- and three-prong AC input, as well as USB ports for added versatility. The style of adapter is a block shape, so you can tuck it into your backpack, purse, or carry-on without compromising on much space, and you can also buy similar adapters for Europe , India, Germany, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Brazil, and more. 

The Details: 1 x 1 x 1 inches | 2.5 ounces | No Converter | 3 ports | 2 USB-A , 1 AC | 250 volts

Best for Families

Bestek travel adapter and voltage converter.

• Value 4.5 /5

You can power seven devices at one time. 

It’s bulkier than a lot of other adapters. 

With three AC outlets and four USB ports, you can charge up to seven devices at once on this charger, making it easy for the whole family to charge their phones, laptops, tables, and camera batteries. Three plug adapters are also included and work in more than 150 countries, meaning you can travel far and wide and, most likely, have the right adapter for what you need. We also love that this one is a converter, too, converting 220 volts to 110 volts for U.S. electronics but it’s still not recommended to use this device to power your hair dryer, curling iron, or straightener.

The adapter comes with overcurrent, overload, overheat, and short-circuit protections. We tested the adapter by charging a phone, battery pack, Apple watch, and Kindle all at once and found that all devices were nicely charged overnight with no issues. 

The Details: 7.4 x 6.8 x 1.8 inches | 1.15 pounds | Converter | 3 AC, 4 USB-A | 110-220 volts

Best Multipack

Ceptics european travel plug adapter.

• Ease of Use 3 /5

It’s easy to use.

You'll need to use a separate plug for each item you're charging.

For a super affordable multipack for one destination, this one from Ceptics is a great choice, as it comes with three identical Type C adapters that will work across Europe, the Middle East, and South America. It accepts North American two- and three-prong plugs, and has a simple straightforward design. It’s worth noting though that this set won’t work in England, Ireland, or Scotland, but there are other three packs available that will work in those countries, plus India, China, Hong Kong, Australia, and more. 

The Details: 3 x 2 x 1 inches | 3.2 ounces | No Converter | 3 AC outlets | 100-240 volts

Best for Europe

Jarvania european travel plug adapter.

It works in both the EU and the UK. 

It’s a bit bulky as the UK adapter is separate. 

American travelers to Europe will most likely need an adapter that can handle numerous countries, and this one from Jarvania is great because it can be used with EU and UK outlets. It’s compatible with Type C (which also fits into Type E, F, H, J, K, L, and N outlets) to work in Italy, Denmark, Switzerland, Spain, and France and more. It also comes with a separate Type G plug adapter that will also work in the UK, so you’re getting an extra adapter, too. The main adapter has three ports (one AC, two USB), so you can charge up to three devices at once — a perk for the modern traveler carrying a phone, laptop, camera, and more. 

The Details: 2.7 x 2.1 x 2.2 inches | 3.8 ounces | No Converter | 3 ports | 1 AC, 2 USB-A | 110-250 volts

Other Travel Adapters We Liked

Two adapters we tested couldn’t quite earn a spot on our list but had standout features that may meet the needs of some travelers. 

Tessan Type G Adapter : This adapter with two AC outlets plus two USB ports works in countries such as Scotland, Ireland, the UK, Hong Kong, UAE, Singapore, and various African countries. However, we found the AC outlets are too close together on the adapter to always be useful. 

Tessan Type E F Adapter : With five total ports (USB and AC) that work in numerous countries, this is a great adapter, but we think the two pack is a bit much, as one adapter already has five ports, meaning lots of travelers wouldn’t need a second adapter. This adapter is also wider than other adapters so it can take up more unnecessary space. 

The T+L team tested 12 different adapters and converters in various countries across the world. We noted what countries we were in while using the adapters or converters, and how easy it was to use each one. We also ranked them based on effectiveness, meaning how well they charged our devices, and value in terms of price versus performance. 

Tips for Buying Adapters and Converters

Research your destination.

Before leaving on your trip, be sure to check out what types of outlets are used in the countries you’re visiting, and buy adapters and converters accordingly. The last thing you’ll want is to accidentally fry your device while abroad. Some hotels provide USB ports inside hotel rooms, but it’s best to make sure they’re available before arriving empty-handed.

Consider a kit

If you’re visiting numerous countries and are in a rush, it’s sometimes easier to simply buy a kit with several adapters for multiple different destinations, which can save you money instead of buying numerous adapters. Lots of kits are small enough to tuck away in your bag or carry-on, so just be sure that you take along the ones you need.

Read the fine print

Always be sure to read the instructions that come with your adapter or converter, and be sure to pay attention to the power details. You may think a converter is safe for your styling tools or appliances when it's actually not, and you could fry your device, or blow a fuse, if the adapter doesn’t convert voltage.

An adapter is used when you need to plug a specific type of prong into a different socket. It allows you to plug your U.S.-style prong into an outlet in another country that uses a different type of plug. A converter is different in that it changes the voltage of an outlet to match the voltage of the item being plugged in. Some countries use 110/120 volts, while others use 220/240 volts. If you don’t use a converter, you could ruin your device, or even risk a fire.

If your destination has a different prong type than your outlets at home, then you’ll need an adapter. But if the voltage is different in the place you’re traveling than it is at home, you’ll need a converter to convert that voltage. Some products have dual voltage, which means the device can handle voltages from all over the world.

Most of Europe uses Type C plugs, which also fit into Type E, F, H, J, K, L, and N sockets that may replace Type C in places such as Denmark, Switzerland, and Italy. (England and the rest of the U.K. uses Type G.) Always double check exactly which one you’ll need before your departure.

Best Overall

Jet off to more than 200 countries with this compact adapter in your luggage, and you can charge up all your gadgets. The classic slider design pushes out EU, UK, and US plugs, and you can rotate the pins for sockets in Australia and China. I appreciate how securely the plugs lock into place, and you must press a side button to retract them. You have a universal input socket, and Ceptics has included three USB-A ports on the bottom and two USB-C ports on the side. The USB-A ports can deliver a maximum charging rate of 15.5 watts, while the USB-C ports offer up to 18 watts (one PD and one QC 3.0).

The main problem is the lack of any grounding, which is meant to reduce the risk of an electrical shock if there's a fault, such as a loose wire inside a device with a metal case. ( This video explains grounding really well. ) Thankfully, there's overload protection with an 8-amp fuse, and it comes with a spare, but you should not use this adapter with any device that has a third metal ground pin on its plug.

Upgrade Pick

Zendure's all-in-one travel adapter is what I toss in my bag first for every trip. It has a boxy design with sliding toggles to switch between US, European, and British plugs. (It covers more than 200 countries.) There’s an auto-resetting fuse to protect your gadgets from power surges, and the Passport III has a 10-amp limit. The latest version also sports a funky, translucent design with a metallic finish (purple is best). Sadly, there's no grounding, so you shouldn't use this adapter with any device that has a third metal grounding pin on its plug.

There are four USB-C ports alongside a single USB-A port and an AC socket, so you can charge six devices simultaneously. Using gallium nitride technology, Zendure was able to increase the power output of the USB-C port to 65 watts, capable of fully charging a 13-inch MacBook Pro in under two hours. That means you can leave your laptop's charging brick behind (if it charges via USB-C). There’s support for the Power Delivery (PD) and Programmable Power Supply (PPS) standards (Samsung uses PPS in its flagship range), so it can fast-charge almost any phone or tablet. This travel adapter will satisfy even the most gadget-laden of travelers.

★ A Good Alternative : The OneWorld 65 ($69) sports a very similar design, the same 65-watt charging rate, and support for more than 200 countries. But it has three USB-C and two USB-A ports. It comes in white and has a 10-amp fuse with a replacement included. WIRED readers can also get a discount with the code OneWorld65_15%Off .

Budget Pick

With the capability to work in more than 150 countries, this affordable adapter from Epicka will do the job for most people. It has sliders you push to reveal the three most common international plugs—EU, UK, and US—and you can rotate the pins for sockets in Australia or China. This plug can recharge your power-hungry devices, like laptops and camera batteries, but there are four USB-A ports on the bottom and a 15-watt USB-C port on the side for phones, tablets, smartwatches, and Kindles. It’s not as well constructed as our other universal adapter picks, but it's much cheaper.

Once again, there’s no grounding here, so don’t plug devices with a third metal ground pin into this adapter, but there is an 8-amp fuse for safety, and it comes with a spare. It is also certified by RoHS, CE, and FCC.

Best Travel Adapter Set

Universal adapters don't always work properly everywhere, and most do not have any grounding. The cheaper and more reliable alternative is to buy individual adapters. This international set from Ceptics is our favorite. It includes five types to cover most of the globe, and they are properly grounded. If you’re visiting only a single destination, just pack the relevant type. None of these adapters have any kind of USB ports, so you will need to bring the respective charging adapter for your gadgets.

This set is especially good for Europe, because it includes Type C, E/F, and G adapters (more on this below), so you’re covered for any socket. Ceptics offers an even cheaper and smaller five-piece set, but we don’t recommend it. The adapters are flimsy, there’s no grounding, and the European plug's design doesn’t work well with the recessed sockets you will sometimes encounter.The drawback of plug adapters is that they’re easy to lose, but at least Ceptics includes a small bag for storage.

Extra Outlets

What I love about this sturdy, compact plug adapter is the lack of sliding pins or moving parts to worry about and that it stays put in the outlet. Offered in several versions (Type C, Type E/F, Type G), it enables you to charge up to six gadgets. I’ve been testing the Type G model in Scotland, and it plugs into a single outlet to give you three US outlets, a USB-C port, and two USB-A ports. The USB-C can put out up to 15 watts, and the USB-A ports are limited to 12 watts, not especially speedy but fine for overnight charging. The adapter is grounded and has various safety features.

On the downside, it can be tough to make use of all the outlets simultaneously as larger plugs, like the MacBook power adapter, tend to block one of the other US outlets. It does not offer surge protection, and the Type G adapter maxes out at 3,250 watts (250 volts, 13 amps), while the EU versions top out at 2,500 watts.

For Charging Everything

This kit includes multiple plug attachments that slide and lock into place to keep you powered across most of the world. It is much larger than the average adapter, but provides two grounded US AC outlets. There is also a built-in USB-C cable, two USB-A ports, and two USB-C ports. The USB-A ports and built-in USB-C cable offer a combined maximum charging rate of 15 watts. The PD USB-C ports go up to 20 watts each. The top charging rate for all of them simultaneously is 55 watts.

There is built-in surge protection, but this is not a voltage converter, so don’t go plugging in hair dryers or other electronics that are not dual voltage. While the two AC outlets are handy, they are close together, so the shape and size of some plugs can make it tricky to use both. But with the ability to charge up to seven devices, this kit is handy. We also like the original Ceptics World Travel Adapter Kit ($35) , though it lacks the two USB-C ports.

Fast Charging

With a familiar sliding pin design, this adapter also covers more than 200 countries. Taller and heavier than our top pick, this is OneAdaptr’s most powerful release to date, and it employs gallium nitride technology to deliver up to 100 watts. Aside from the universal AC outlet, you will find two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports on the bottom. Both USB-C ports offer 100-watt charging, and both USB-A ports are 18 watts, but 100 watts is the maximum in total, so when you plug in multiple devices, it divides between them.

Almost every charging standard you can think of is supported, including PD 3.0, QC 4+, FCP, SCP, AFC, PPS, and more, so there’s a good chance you can charge your phone at the fastest rate possible. There is no grounding, so don’t plug in any gadget with a third metal pin. But there is a 10-amp fuse with a spare included, and this adapter conforms to IEC 60884, CE, and FCC standards. If you want more power or feel you can make do with less, we also tested and liked the OneWorld135 ($109) and the OneWorld30 ($39) .

Note : We have tested OneAdaptr’s range extensively and found they work well, but the company has had issues fulfilling orders, and we are concerned about the volume of negative reviews online. The company assured us that it has recently taken steps to improve fulfilment and customer service, and we will continue to monitor the situation.

Safest Option

The OneWorld PD has sliding toggles on the side that cover the US/Canada, the UK, and Australia/China, and you can pop out a much smaller stand-alone European adapter. It promises to work in more than 150 countries. There are three USB-A ports on the bottom as well as a USB-C port that supports Power Delivery and Quick Charge 3.0 to deliver up to 18 watts. That's enough to fast-charge most phones and tablets, not so much a laptop. You can plug in your laptop's AC charger to speedily juice it back up, but that means carrying the heavy charging brick around.

What sets the AC plugs apart is that each one is earthed. Most universal travel adapters offer two-pin US plugs and make the third pin on the UK plug plastic, but the OneWorld PD provides fully grounded connections for every plug type to protect you from the risk of shock due to faulty wiring. It can handle up to 10 amps. Over-current protection automatically shuts down the power if there’s abnormal usage, and it resets via a button on the top. The rare British Standard 8546 compliance guarantees that the OneWorld PD has been fully tested and is one of the safest travel adapters you can buy. The downside? It's frequently out of stock.

Note : We have tested OneAdaptr's range extensively and found they work well, but the company has had issues fulfilling orders and we are concerned about the volume of negative reviews online. The company assured us that it has recently taken steps to improve fulfilment and customer service and we will continue to monitor the situation.

For Wired Charging

Most of us only take small gadgets when we travel, so a compact, multi-port wall charger, like this one from Satechi, could be the best way to pack light. It plugs directly into the wall and comes with four interchangeable travel adapters, covering the EU, UK, and Australia, with a mesh bag to store them in. There are four USB-C ports that you can plug your gadgets into, including laptops like the MacBook Pro, tablets, phones, and wearables. With support for Power Delivery 3.1, the first two ports can supply up to 140 watts, and the bottom two ports can supply up to 45 watts, but the total maximum output if you use all four ports simultaneously is 145 watts.

We took this on a recent trip for a wedding, and it kept all of our gadgets topped off. The adapters are very easy to slide on with a quick-release switch, and it was a real space saver. The only downside is that the bulk and weight may prove awkward at some outlets.

For Wireless Charging

A few of the best wireless chargers can be good choices for travel. This modular system from RapidX is compact and capable of wirelessly charging two phones at up to 10 watts each, which makes it a good option for couples or families. The beauty is that you can add or remove pods, and a single charging cable can power up to five. They snap together magnetically and pull apart for easy packing. You can also get additional phone pods ($13) , and there’s a version with a phone pod and an Apple Watch pod ($30) .

You get a 30-watt US power adapter and a 5-foot USB-C cable in the box, so you will still want a travel adapter to pair with this system. If you plan to add pods, you will want a more powerful adapter. (RapidX recommends 65 watts or above for three or more devices.)

For Apple and Qi2 Devices

Incredibly compact when folded flat, Anker’s MagGo 3-in-1 can charge up your iPhone or Qi2-certified phone at up to 15 watts, has a second pad for AirPods or other wireless earbuds, and sports a fold-out Apple Watch charger. You get a USB-C cable (around 5 feet) and a wall adapter with it, but pair it with something like the Zendure or Satechi above that can provide at least 40 watts, and you can leave the wall adapter at home. Only MagSafe iPhones and Qi2-certified Android phones have the magnets needed to use this as a stand, but I had no trouble charging an older Android phone by folding it flat (Qi2 is backward compatible). We recommend this Anker charger for travelers in our guide to the  best Apple 3-in-1 wireless chargers .

International Plug Types and Universal Adapters

There are 15 plug types in use across the world. Type A and Type B are used in the US, Canada, Mexico, and Japan; Type C is common across Europe, South America, and Asia; Type E and Type F are found across Europe in places like Germany, Russia, and France; Type G is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and a handful of other places; and Type I is used in Australia, New Zealand, China, and Argentina. Universal adapters tend to cover all of these types.

Some countries are not usually covered by universal adapters, such as India ( Type D ), Israel ( Type H ), and South Africa ( Type M or N ). You'll need to buy specific plug adapters for those places. To avoid any surprises when you land, double-check what type you need before you travel.

If you're visiting just one destination, a basic plug adapter that caters to one plug type is all you need. For trips to multiple destinations or for frequent flyers, a universal travel adapter can prove more versatile. The universal adapters we recommend here have the bonus of including multiple USB ports for charging several mobile devices from a single outlet.

A Word on Voltage Converters

Voltage converters are big, heavy, and expensive, and they don’t always work, so it’s probably best not to buy one. The reason you might think you need one is that the AC sockets on all of our recommended travel adapters do not convert the voltage coming from the socket. This means plugging into a UK socket will deliver 220 volts at 50 hertz, which is very different from the 120 volts at 60 hertz you can expect in the US. Don't worry! Your gear won't get fried. You just need to make sure anything you plug into one of these universal travel adapters has something like this printed on it:

Input: 100–220V 50/60Hz .

That should include most modern gadgets. If your device or charger can’t handle a variable voltage, it’s probably best to leave it at home. Most places provide hair dryers , irons, and kettles, so there’s no need to take them with you. It's often cheaper to buy a set with the correct plug at your destination and save the luggage space and hassle.

If you are absolutely determined to try a voltage converter (again, we recommend you don’t), the Ceptics 2000W Travel Voltage Converter ($70) seems to work well. It has a special 2,000-watt outlet for hair dryers, but only ones that work via a mechanical switch (anything with an electronic circuit board for automatic switch-off or temperature control won’t work and is at risk of being fried if plugged in). It also has two outlets that go up to 200 watts, one USB-C port, and three USB-A ports, though the ports do not support fast charging.

Everything Else You Need to Know

Here are a few additional tips and answers to help ensure your trip goes as planned.

Test everything before you go : Seriously, nothing is worse than thinking you’re being very clever by packing light and getting to your hotel to discover that your gadgets refuse to charge. Between the adapter, cable, and your device, plenty can go wrong, so do a quick test with everything you are taking before you set off.

Can travel adaptors go in a suitcase? Yes, you can pack travel adapters in your suitcase. But it may be wise to take a travel adapter in your hand luggage for easy access should you need to charge up a device when you arrive at your destination. Devices like power banks with lithium batteries inside must go in hand luggage, not checked bags.

Can I buy travel adapters at the airport? Yes, you almost certainly can, but like everything else at the airport, they will be far more expensive than they should be, and your choice will be limited.

Do hotels have travel adapters? Sometimes hotels have travel adapters, and some hotels even have outlets for other countries, but most do not, so don’t bank on it. You could always check with your hotel or accommodation before you depart, but it’s safer to snag a travel adapter to take with you.

TripSavvy / Chloe Jeong

Travel overseas comes with its share of logistical challenges. Charging your devices in Greece or Sweden shouldn't be one of them. Travel adapters allow an electronic device from one country to plug into a differently shaped outlet. For example, U.S. wall outlets require a plug with two flat vertical prongs, while outlets in the U.K. require a plug with a top vertical prong and two bottom horizontal ones. One major heads-up: most adapters do not convert electricity from one voltage to another, which may be a requirement depending on where you're headed.

When selecting products, we considered supported destinations, the number of USB ports, and different price points.

Final Verdict

Why Trust TripSavvy

Best overall, epicka universal travel adapter.

Packs easily

Quick-charging USB ports

Covers a wide range of countries

Noisy when charging

A travel adapter helps charge your electronic devices on the go, whether you're taking a short trip across the pond or hopping on a worldwide adventure. The Epicka Universal USB Travel Power Adapter offers support for more than 150 countries, including the U.S., Australia, and most of Europe. The universal input design allows a multitude of plug options. The inclusion of four USB-A ports on its front and a USB-C port allows the charging of six devices at a single time. The first set of USB-A ports charge at 2.4 amps, making it ideal for tablets, cameras, and phones for faster charging, while the remaining two ports charge at 2.1 amps, making them better suited for phones only. The adapter's versatility and compact size saved our reviewer from overpacking. Our tester also appreciated the bonus iPhone charger that comes included.

As with many universal adapters, the Epicka is designed with 110-volt devices in mind, so it's not recommended for higher-powered appliances such as hair dryers or flat irons.

This all-in-one option offers the comfort of knowing you can use higher-powered devices, such as a hair dryer, without risking a blown fuse.

Beyond hair dryers, this adapter/converter combo is suitable for popular items such as iOS devices, laptops, straighteners, and more. For the input itself, the Bonazza only accepts U.S. standard-type plugs, not international varieties. At just 3 inches and 7.2 ounces, it's also an ultra-portable choice. Our reviewer appreciated the compact size and accompanying travel pouch, noting that it "makes it easy to keep the adapter clean." Our tester also found the adapter incredibly simple, a real bonus compared to other devices.

TripSavvy Senior Editorial Director Laura Ratliff states, "Bestek's converter is a must-have when traveling abroad in hotel rooms with minimal outlets."

Capable of charging multiple devices at once, the Bestek adds four USB charging ports for a combined total of 6A output, plus three AC ports. The travel-ready design includes a bag for easy storage and a 5-foot power cable.

An over-current protection system will automatically shut off any abnormal usage detected. A BS8546 certification guarantees the highest protection. This small but mighty adapter is perfect for phones, tablets, and laptops (which charge best using the AC power adapter).

Best for Apple Users

Built to last

Reduces overall tech load

Trusted company

Not a standalone option

Most of us have strong opinions about our tech gear, especially when it comes to an iconic brand like Apple. If you are a supporter and own several of their products or even just a MacBook, this is a great complementary set of adapters. These plugs use the Apple power adapter brick as a base, so you'll need to have that already for this kit. It contains seven AC plugs with laser-etched labels for quick identification and covers many tourist destinations including Japan, Australia, Europe, Korea, Brazil, and more. As with any brand, there is peace of mind knowing that the accessories come from the same manufacturer for smooth and secure functioning. And, we appreciate that the price range fits right in with the other picks on our list.

When international adventure calls, be prepared with the Epicka Universal Travel Adapter . Its universal input design, USB-A, and USB-C ports simultaneously support up to six devices in over 150 countries. For the ultralight backpacker or the occasional jet-setter, the Jmfone Travel Adapter is a smart, budget-friendly choice.

What to Look For in a Travel Adapter

Destination.

If you want to cut down on bulk, go for a streamlined, single-type converter, though it might only work in some regions. On the other hand, universal adapters will be effective no matter where you wind up—so if you’re a frequent jet-setter, this might be the best option.

There are other benefits to choosing a lighter product, depending on the space you'll be staying in once you arrive. "Because some hotels and homes have outlets in the most unusual locations, make sure that the adapter is not too large or heavy to fit into sunken sockets," says Charlie Cotton, head of operations at millennial group travel company FTLO Travel.

Newer converters now come with USB ports, eliminating the need for the USB-to-outlet converter for charging tablets and phones. In most cases, this means that you can charge more than one device at a time, which is handy for families—everyone’s gadgets definitely add up on the road—or those traveling with multiple devices .

Forking over a ton of money for a converter you’ll only use once a year doesn’t make sense, so go for a price that correlates with how often you travel. That said, buying one before you leave for vacation is almost always cheaper than on the ground.

Many countries use a single plug type throughout. To ensure your adapter is compatible, you must identify the plug type used in the country or countries on your itinerary. World Standards shares a map that details plug types for every country.

A universal adapter allows you to take your devices worldwide with one compact adapter that fits a variety of outlets. A plug adapter fits a single country’s outlets.

A plug adapter updates the shape of your device’s plug to fit the outlet in the country you’re traveling to. It doesn’t convert voltage. A voltage converter adapts the electrical voltage from the device to the outlet. This is valuable because American devices sometimes operate at a different voltage than is available in other countries.

The Best Travel Adapters (Keep Your Gear Charged)

Bringing a host of different gadgets has become the norm when you travel. If only everyone uses the same kind of outlets and voltages everywhere, then the world would be a better place.

Till then, traveling cross-continent means they power things up differently. If you don’t want to short circuit your devices, then having a reliable travel adapter is a definite must for anyone who does more than stay put at home.

Matching the right outlets and voltage can be tricky, so here are the best travel adapters that can do the thinking for you.

Fair warning , however: travel adapters are usually meant to charge devices. High-powered appliances are rarely compatible with travel adapters.

JMcolo All in One Universal International Power Adapter

It has  one AC power  socket ideal for various plug designs.  Two USB ports  allow you to charge your mobile devices and tablets as well. Like many adapters, it has  built-in safety shutters and keeps users safe from the direct touch of live parts on the socket.

Despite the cheaper price, it’s still very well-made. If you’re not satisfied, it comes with a  12-month warranty . Similarly, it  only converts the power outlet and not the input . This adapter is not meant for high-powered appliances like hair dryers and curling irons.

• AC Power Rating: 6A max. 100-240Vac (650W max. at 110Vac. 1300W max. at 220Vac)

What to Look For?

Travel adapters can have anywhere from 1 to 5 to however many ports. If you don’t travel around with lots of devices, then you’ll make do with a few USB ports to keep the adapter small and portable. However, be on the lookout for the amount you will need to simultaneously charge all your devices. Just in case.

Safety Features

Some travel adapters are just that – adapters. The better ones have built-in safety features like fuses, which can be very handy if your equipment is super expensive. This is important especially if you plan to charge several devices simultaneously or plugin a high voltage hairdryer like my girlfriend did a few months ago! Goodbye travel adapter.

Power Capacity

Not all adapters are converters. While adapters are convenient, you’ll still have to be aware of the power output of the sockets you’re plugging into if you’re not carrying a travel converter. This is a bigger issue if you travel far and wide and venture outside your own country or continent, where power/voltage changes can be big (120 vs 240 for example).

I come from Australia and we use 240, but the USA uses 120. Just go give you an example.

Which Travel Adapter Is The Best For You?

Travel adapters are handy little tools that really make traveling easier. Nowadays, running on empty is just not an option. So these adapters will certainly make your future travels far more fun!

If all you really need to do is power your mobile phone or tablet, go with the JMColo All in One Universal International Power Adapter . This no-fuss adapter does the job at a very affordable price.

9 best travel adapters to keep your devices charged on holiday

The last thing you want on that first post-lockdown holiday is to be caught without your phone or camera, article bookmarked.

With travel on the horizon once more, it’s time to start thinking about investing in the accessories no jet-setter should be without, and adapters deserve to be at the very top of that list.

If you’re still relying on the one you picked up at Dubai airport 20 years ago, then it’s time to upgrade – ideally to one with at least one USB port and the ability to help you stay connected in a minimum of 150 countries.

Features to look out for include mechanisms that allow the prongs to slide smoothly into place and slot quickly back in when not in use, and a small LED light that will show you when the power’s on.

One thing you don’t have to worry too much about though is surge protection – these days, the majority of adapters have this built in.

We’ve included a number of travel adapters designed especially for smaller items of tech such as iPhones and iPads , simply because these days many leisure travellers are more likely to carry numerous smaller gadgets, rather than larger items such as laptops .

• 10 best travel backpacks to prepare for that long-awaited trip
• 11 best noise-cancelling headphones to help you focus
• 11 best packing cubes for keeping your suitcase organised

We tested our adapters by using them with a wide range of gadgets, paying careful attention to the way in which interchangeable adapters could be swapped and how securely the prongs stayed in place

We quickly realised the benefit to a number of extras we hadn’t considered before, whether it was dedicated pouches with clearly marked compartments or extra-clear markings indicating which country a certain adapter was most likely to be required in.

You can trust our independent reviews. We may earn commission from some of the retailers, but we never allow this to influence selections, which are formed from real-world testing and expert advice. This revenue helps us to fund journalism across The Independent .

OneAdaptr all-in-one world adapter with USB-C & 3 USB charger

You can plug five devices into this all-singing, all-dancing adapter which has three USB ports, a USB C port and the ability to do its thing in 150 countries.  It has brilliant packaging – in this case a book-like box with a magnetic closure that looks and feels far too good to simply be tossed in the bin. For extra points in the packaging department, this adapter also comes with its own colour-coordinated drawstring pouch.

Our favourite feature was the way in which the prongs slid out – unlike other adapters, which required a separate button to be pressed, we simply needed to press and hold the same button that we used to slide out the prongs.

Mophie charge stream global travel kit

This adapter, designed with smart phones in mind, is another product with brilliant packaging – in this case, a sturdy pouch with clearly identifiable sections for the various components, which include a wireless charging station, five interchangeable adapters, a micro-USB cable and a car adapter.

Sadly we didn’t have a phone with wireless charging capability on which to test the wireless charger, but we were still able to charge our phone the traditional way, using the USB port. We loved the ultra-bright LED light that appeared when this adapter was in use, as well as the way in which the different components slotted firmly but quickly into place.

Anker 65W 3-port charger

This is another wonderfully compact adapter designed with phones and USB C-charging laptops in mind, although the tiny size of the different attachments might be a downside for those prone to clumsiness. However, we loved the ease with which they slotted into the body of the main unit, which provides plenty of power.

Two USB-A ports and one USB-C port (the type most Samsung users will be familiar with) offer a total of 65W of output, which can be used to power three devices simultaneously. We loved the sky-blue trim, and the bright blue light offered a welcome alternative to the standard red.

Samsonite worldwide adapter

This is a sturdy, reliable adapter that will keep you connected in 150 countries. The various prongs slide out with satisfying ease, and a two-year warranty will appeal to those prone to slinging their adapters in cramped corners of backpacks and suitcases.

Perhaps we’re nit-picking, but we would have loved to see a flash of colour, and we can’t help but feel £35 is a little steep when it’s easy to find adapters with USB ports (which this one doesn’t have) for much less.

Twelve South plugbug duo

A lot of thought has gone into the design of the Ferrari-red plugbug duo, as well as its packaging. The PlugBug comes tucked into a sturdy cardboard box with cut-out holes for the various components. Designed for use with Apple gadgets such as iPhones, MacBooks and iPads, it has five interchangeable adapters that allow it to be used in 150 countries. MacBooks or iPads can be plugged into the base and there are two USB ports on the side.

Heys universal adapter

This is a compact, top-quality adapter with the ability to charge a wide range of gadgets, and a great price tag – just £24. It’s far from basic, with two USBs, a sleek red trim and a locking action that means the prongs stay put when extended but will easily slide back in when they’re no longer needed.

One aspect that proved unexpectedly useful was the red outline around the holes for the prongs of three-pinned UK plugs – when fumbling around in semi-darkness, this acted as a handy visual guide.

Go Travel worldwide adapter and USB

Go Travel’s adapter errs on the chunky side (it’s surprisingly heavy) but it’s got a thoughtful, top-quality design, with two USB ports and a sturdy locking mechanism that will keep the various prongs in place. A gold star was awarded for the clearly marked wording next to the controls for each set of prongs – it’s all too easy to forget which countries have which sockets.

There are two USB ports and we appreciated the positioning of the LED light that appears when it’s plugged in – the light is on the bottom, so you’ll be able to quickly tell whether it’s turned on if you know where to look but its position means it’s unlikely to keep you awake if you’re easily disturbed.

Herschel travel adapter

A stylish adapter contained in a zip lock-style (but inevitably landfill-destined) plastic bag, Herschel’s contribution to connectivity will appeal to style-conscious jetsetters. It’s got a sleek pared-back look and the casing has a rubberised feel which offers a welcome alternative to cold, hard plastic.

There are two USB ports on the side and the design is slightly different to most adapters, with the prongs positioned in a way which means you’ll need to rotate the adapter depending on which set you’re using. Our one gripe was that the sliding controls erred on the stiff side and more than once we had to prise out the prongs manually.

Flight 001 5-in-1 universal travel adapter

Why can’t all adapters look like this? A colourful, Lego-like stack of interchangeable adapters that slot easily in and out, the flight 001 5-in-1 universal travel adapter has two USBs and comes in a neat, sturdy box that doubles as the perfect carrying case.

Although this is an adapter made up of multiple parts, rather than internal, fixed prongs that simply slide in and out, the ease with which the pieces slot together – and the clever use of colour – means the likelihood of any part being left behind is slim to none.

The verdict: Travel adapters

The brilliant and stylish OneAdaptr all-in-on world adapter is proof that an adapter really can serve multiple purposes without making any sacrifices in the quality department.

However, the Mophie charge stream global travel kit is one of the best travel adapters designed with smart phones in mind and the Anker 65W 3-port charger is a stylish, compact adapter that is ideal for families.

The best travel adapters 2024

If you’ve ever had to rush around at an airport to panic buy a travel adapter, or worse, ended up at your hotel with a dead Kindle and a dying phone, you’ll know that forgetting an adapter can take the shine off a trip. Plus, if you have to buy at the airport or at your destination, you’ll pay twice as much.

Save money by planning ahead and purchasing a couple of power adapters online before your holiday. Once you’ve got them, you can keep them in your suitcase or travel bag and never get caught out again. Or, if you buy one with USB ports, you can use it day-to-day, for charging multiple devices at once and maybe even providing fast charging options.

You can even find some world-to-world adapters, which will take any plug type, and connect to any socket – ideal not only for travelling, but also for any international tech that you end up bringing back from your trip to use at home.

If you’re not sure which kind of adapter you need, have a look at the buying advice that follows the chart. We’ve got information on sockets and connecting your adapter, as well as regions, voltage, and 2- versus 3-pin plugs.

If you’re busy planning a trip, you might also want to take a look at our guide to the best portable power banks .

Best travel adapters

Tec uk to eu travel adapter twin pack – best budget option (eu).

• Europe only

Let’s start with something dead simple: this is a twin pack of UK to EU travel adapters, which will let you use your UK tech just about anywhere in Europe. 

They’re cheap and cheerful, but they work – and for most people, that’s enough. They also cost a lot less online than buying the exact same ones in an airport newsagent. 

If you know you mostly travel in Europe, or just have a specific trip coming up that you need an adapter or two for, this is the cheapest way to charge your gadgets once you’re there.

TEC UK to US Travel Adapter Twin Pack – Best budget option (US)

Along very similar lines, here’s the same adapter, but for the US and other countries that use this plug type, which includes Canada, Mexico, Japan and most of South America, among other locations.

Remember that it won’t convert the voltage, so you may find that some of your UK devices charge more slowly in the US, and a few might not even charge at all if they can’t draw sufficient power, but in our experience this is rare. 

MyTravelPal Pro – Best safety features

• Safety features
• 3 USB ports for fast charging
• Use in over 150 countries
• No USB-C port

If you’re concerned about safety, the MyTravelPal Pro adaptor is an excellent option, as it has two safety features: a surge protector that’ll shut it down to protect your devices in the event of abnormal power; and ground/earth connections on all four plugs, so you can use high-powered devices without worrying.

Cleverly, you can unscrew the grounding pin on the US plug, so usage isn’t limited to sockets with a third slot.

The Pro can power four devices at once, with a plug socket and three USB-A charging ports, which allow for quick charging (up to 70% faster than an average charger). This also means it’s very handy around the home, so you’ll get plenty of use from it.

It doesn’t convert voltage but it does support a wide input range: 100-250V. It will work in over 150 countries, including Australia and New Zealand, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, UK and the USA.

Zendure Passport III – Best for home & travel

• Works in over 200 countries
• Surge protector
• 4 USB-C ports, 1 USB-A

The Zendure Passport III is not only a great travel adapter, but also an excellent charger at home.

With sliding connectors, it can plug into type A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O outlets, and accepts type A, B, C, E, F, G, I, J, L, and N plugs, so it works in over 200 countries and regions – including the US, Europe, Australia, and UK.

Thanks to an auto-resetting fuse it’ll cut off the power if it detects that it’s getting too hot, which should save your devices (and the Passport III itself) from problems with incompatible international voltages.

In addition it boasts four USB-C ports and one USB-A, so it can charge multiple devices at once, with USB-C charging at up to 65W – enough to fast charge a laptop or tablet.

Zendure Passport II Pro – Most powerful

• Useful in 200 countries
• Can charge 6 devices at once
• Not earthed

The Zendure Passport II Pro is a travel adapter that’s so powerful you’ll probably end up using it at home too.

It can plug into UK, US, EU, or Australian sockets, and you can also plug all of those into it, covering more than 200 countries. The 10A self-resetting fuse can handle high-power appliances, and will reset if it overloads rather than breaking – although it’s not earthed. 

It can charge up to six devices simultaneously: one through the main AC socket, and then two USB-C and four USB-A. One USB-C port supports most fast charging standards for laptops and phones up to 61W, although if you connect other devices simultaneously this port caps at a slightly lower 45W, with 12W shared between the other USBs.

Go Travel Duo Earthed UK to EU Power Adapter – Four device charging

• Charge 4 devices at once
• Earthed model won't fit US sockets

This handy power adaptor from Go Travel will let you charge up to four devices simultaneously through just one plug: two through the UK mains sockets, and another two through the included USB-A sockets.

This model is perfect for using across Europe, but you can also get an essentially identical one for using in the US and Canada and other compatible countries.

Bear in mind that both are earthed, meaning they’re ideal for safely charging high usage devices like laptops, but as the UK model also comes with a non-removable earth pin, it won’t fit into two-pin sockets in the US.

Skross World Travel Adapter MUV USB – Best for two-pin compatibility

• Useful across UK, US, Aus, Europe and Asia
• For less power-intensive tech

Skross is one of the best recognised and most trusted names around when it comes to travel adapters, which is why we’ve picked its MUV USB adapter for our round-up.

Designed for two-pin, un-earthed devices, this is perfect for less power-intensive tech like shavers, phones, tablets, or e-readers, but might not be able to keep up with a laptop or hairdryer’s power needs. On the plus side, that means its 2-pin outputs will work in all US and European sockets.

However, it has the advantage of accepting input devices from the UK, US, Australia, Europe and most of Asia, and outputting to all of the same countries.

You also get two USB-A sockets, which share a 5V power supply. You can use those to charge two USB devices while simultaneously charging something else through the main socket, making this ideal for anyone with a few devices they need to charge at once.

Skross World Travel Adapter Pro Light USB – Best for quick charging

• Good for high-power devices
• Not suitable for 2-pin sockets

This Skross adapter looks pretty similar to the one listed above, but it has one significant difference: it includes an earth pin, and is rated for up to 1575W, meaning you can safely use it to (quickly) charge high power devices like laptops.

As with other three-pin plugs, note that it means it won’t fit every plug socket – the earth pin isn’t removable, so won’t fit two-pin sockets in the US or Australia, meaning you might find some sockets you just can’t use.

Also, note that this does support European plugs, but only through using the detachable plug section. This means you can’t use the included USB sockets for charging, although those will work in every other region.

Anker PowerPort 4 Lite – Best for family use

• USB-A points
• Not for US/Aus/NZ

The Anker PowerPort 4 Lite lacks Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0 compatibility but not every device is compatible with that anyway, so these four standard USB-A ports will be fine for most, with enough to satisfy a small family on the move.

It does feature  PowerIQ and VoltageBoost, however.

It features interchangeable UK and EU plug heads, but strangely none for US or Australia/New Zealand.

TEC UK To India Adaptor – For Southern Asia

• Asia-specific
• Not a voltage transformer

If you travel to India, Pakistan or Sri Lanka, you may find international power points in your hotel but these countries also have a dedicated plug type.

Travel adapters of this kind can be expensive at the airport, so to save money, buy before your head off. This is a twin pack, so it’s even better value.

Bear in mind that these are straightforward adapters and not voltage transformers.

Connecting your adapter

Most adapters come with USB-A sockets – especially for fast charging – so you may need to ensure you have the right cables to hand to charge your phone and laptop using your adapter. Don’t leave home without ensuring you can connect your devices to your adapter.

Even more useful are travel adapters that incorporate multiple USB sockets, which mean you can use one plug to charge several devices. Some now even include a USB-C Power Delivery port – useful for owners of USB-C laptops such as some of Apple’s MacBooks.

Regions and voltages

The most important thing to check before you buy a travel adapter is what sort of plug the area you’re travelling to uses. For the sake of this article, we’re going to assume that you’re based in the UK, which means you’ll need an adapter to travel almost anywhere in the world, with rare exceptions like Hong Kong and Singapore, which use the UK plug.

For the most part, there are three broad regions of plug beyond the UK type: the round pinned plugs used across Europe, the flat straight pins used across America and some parts of Asia, and the flat slanted pins used in Australia and the rest of Asia. It’s always worth double-checking with a quick Google search ahead of a trip, and there are a few other unique plug types out there to watch out for.

Voltage can also be an issue. UK plugs use 220-240V, which is conveniently what you’ll find across Europe and Australia. US sockets only run at 120V, while Japan offers an even skimpier 110V. For the most part, this isn’t an issue, but it may mean that some devices will charge more slowly than you’re used to, and some of the most power-intensive might not work at all if they can’t draw sufficient power from the mains to run. Unfortunately, there’s nothing a travel adapter can do about that, as they don’t convert voltage.

2-pin vs 3-pin

One thing to look out for in travel adapters is whether or not they support earth pins. While 3-pin plugs are the standard in the UK, elsewhere in the world they’re used less often or not at all. 

Earthing helps to protect you and your gadgets from electric shock, so you may prefer to opt for 3-pin adapters, which offer an extra level of protection. Bear in mind that this may limit where you can use them – the US and EU have both 2-pin and 3-pin sockets, so your 3-pin plug simply won’t fit into some sockets, and you might wish you’d risked it with a 2-pin model.

The Best Travel Adapters for International Adventures

But all of that is only useful if you remember one necessary, if not-so-glamorous, piece of travel equipment: a travel adapter.

A travel adapter is a small device that allows you to plug your electronic devices into outlets in different countries. Electrical outlets and sockets vary from country to country; in fact, there are 15 different types of power sockets requiring a variety of plugs. That includes sockets that fit two rounded plugs, as you'll find in much of Europe, to the slanted, three-prong sockets you'll find in Australia. The concept is simple: plug the travel adapter directly into the wall socket, then plug your device or USB cord into the front.

Travel adapters may not be the most stylish travel accessory, but they're certainly one of the most essential. Here are the best travel adapters to buy before your next international getaway.

The Expert: As a travel writer in my mid-30s, I've been traveling for a while. My first international trips were with my parents as a child, when my biggest concern was making sure my reusable battery charger would work to power up my Gameboy while visiting Europe. In college, I studied abroad in the mid-2000s, when some devices worked internationally, but others would all but blow up if you plugged them in without a voltage converter. And in my years as a travel writer, I've been to around 40 countries, including some less-touristy destinations like Lesotho.

So, my experiences have run the gamut, from carrying a chunky converter only to realize it didn't work in my hotel room's sockets to successfully packing just one converter that did it all. I've used adapters specific to one socket type, supposed global adapters that actually weren't, and overpaid by nearly double for an adapter in an airport when I realized I left my sole adapter in my checked luggage. I've become an expert on using travel adapters, whether I like it or not.

What to Look for in a Travel Adapter

Travel adapters used to be big, bulky chunks of plastic with just one plug. That's changed, although you'll still find some older, oversized designs on the market. But most modern adapters are small enough to hold in your palm (a tad smaller than a Rubik's Cube , if you will) and weigh no more than a pair of socks .

The best travel adapters are retractable, meaning the prongs that go into the wall retract into the body of the adapter when not in use. This makes planning and packing easier and reduces the risk of breaking or bending a prong while in transit, which will likely render your adapter useless (and necessitate buying one from an overpriced airport tech store).

Types of Ports

You may think you need to carry three or four travel adapters—one for your laptop, one for your phone, one to charge your camera battery, and so on. However, you can usually get away with a one-plug adapter if it has additional ports, such as USB or USB-C ports. My current adapter (which, full disclosure, also happens to be my top pick) has one plug I use for my laptop, plus four USB ports and a USB-C port. My laptop cube doesn't block any USB ports, so I can charge all my devices simultaneously with just one adapter.

All-in-One Versus Customizable

I like universal adapters, with various buttons and switches for configuring the prongs to fit any socket worldwide. They're ideal when a hotel has different sockets from what you'd find in the rest of the country; something common in hotels that cater to European or western travelers. However, they can sometimes be a little bigger and bulkier as they have to include more prongs and pieces, and you may have to toss it if one prong breaks.

The second option is to buy either a power adapter specific to just one country (ex: it only coverts type A plugs to a type C plug) or one with a base and various attachments. With the latter, you'll always need to carry the base, but you'll only need to bring the adapter tip you'll need for that specific country. Repeat as needed for future trips.

I don't recommend those for disorganized or forgetful travelers, as it's easy to lose the various attachments.

How We Selected These Travel Adapters

Aside from the testing I’ve done over the last decade and change of travel, I took into account recommendations from different types of travelers: from my fellow travel writers, who may visit a different country every month, to my parents, who start packing weeks in advance for their once-every-few-years Europe trip.

I also looked at online reviews—not just the number of reviews but the quality, paying special attention to any ongoing negative themes. I also considered the number of ports and plugs vis-a-vis the size and weight.

You’ll find the EPICKA Universal Power Adapter on more than a few lists of the best travel power adapters, but that’s not because of savvy marketing—it’s genuinely a great buy. I’ve used quite a few travel adapters over the years and this is by far my favorite.

It charges six devices at once, but since four of the plugs are USB chargers, it’s still very small. In fact, it’s probably the smallest travel adapter I’ve ever used, which makes it easy to fit in my carry-on luggage for use in international airports.

It converts any plug type to any plug type (so it works with non-type A or B plugs), and the carrying case helps get crumbs and dust from your bag out of the various USB and USB-C ports (the latter of which is a high-speed charging port.

This is the perfect adapter for multi-country travel or for hotels that may have European sockets in a non-European country. I’ve yet to find any downsides, though there’s one obvious one: the weight of everything plugged in at once. If you have short USB cords and your devices are hanging off the adapter, it could cause it to fall out of the wall socket, especially if you have six plugged in at once.

You can find travel power adapters cheaper than the VINTAR Travel Adapter, but they’re generally only going to have one socket and no additional ports, which means carrying a separate travel adapter for every device you need to charge.

Buying all those will get expensive, so it’s best to spend a few extra bucks to get a budget travel adapter with a few extra ports, like this adapter from VINTAR. It’s still only going to set you back around $13.

The downside is that this is a Europe-only adapter, meaning it only converts type A or B plugs for use in a type C socket. But if you’re traveling to a country with type C sockets, it’s a great second travel adapter to have in your bag in case your primary one breaks (or gets left in a hotel room).

If you’re planning a family vacation to a country where you know for sure you’ll need either a type C (most countries in Europe) or type G (UK) plug, consider buying in bulk. This TESSAN bundle includes three adapters with a total of three power plugs and six USB ports, so the whole family will be set even if everyone has their own laptop, camera, and phone to charge simultaneously.

The most notable downside of this travel adapter pack is that they aren’t universal. Depending on which set you buy, you’ll be able to adapt US appliances to type C or type G only. It’s great for single-country and most European trips, but won’t be very handy if you check into your hotel only to find it doesn’t have the sockets you anticipated.

It may seem like a small detail, but having a brightly colored, hard-to-miss travel adapter greatly reduces the chances that you’ll forget it in your hotel room. Black and white travel adapters can easily blend into the walls when you’re doing a final pre-checkout look around the room, especially since you’re probably not used to pulling two items from the wall sockets. Of the RXSOUL’s color options, I find green the most noticeable.

I’ve left more than a few travel adapters in hotel rooms, and while it hasn’t ruined my trip, it is sometimes annoying to try to find a store to buy one on trips to remote areas.

On that note, however: if you do leave your travel adapter behind, call your next hotel and ask if they have one you can borrow. Often, lost-and-found items like travel adapters become hotel loaner items if they’re still unclaimed after a few months.

Greatness Line GR-8 Power Compact & Slim Power Charging Station

If you’re a “digital nomad” working internationally, you’ll likely just need one travel converter. But if you’re traveling for work and plan to have meetings or give presentations while abroad, you’ll want a travel adapter that doesn’t require you to stay hunched over a power socket because your projector or laptop cord is too short.

That’s why the GR-8 Charging Station is ideal. It’s styled akin to a power strip you’d find in the U.S., so you can lay the strip under a desk or meeting space to give everyone more space to plug in. It also has a built-in surge protector to keep your work-provided electronics from getting fried during an outage or surge, but is still small enough to slide into a briefcase or roller bag if you’re going carry-on only.

The FOVAL Power Step Down Voltage Converter is the most expensive of my recommendations, but that’s because it’s a two-in-one: it’s a multi-device travel adapter and a power converter. It converts single-voltage devices that use more power (like hair straighteners or CPAP machines) to a lower voltage, which means they’ll work in other countries. Plug in a single-voltage device without a converter, and the reaction could vary: it could not work at all, it could start overheating, or it could start making a buzzing sound and potentially give a mild shock when touched.

There’s a lot to like about the FOVAL voltage converter. It has a long cord rather than plugging directly into the wall, and it comes with four adapters to work in nearly every country. It also comes with a drawstring bag to help you not lose said power adapters. The downsides are size and weight; voltage converters are always bulkier than standard travel adapters, but this will still add just over a pound to your suitcase.

I prefer universal adapters, but multi-piece adapters (which have different removable tips for each type of port) do have one strong selling point. If a universal adapter breaks, or any of the prongs bend or break, that’s pretty much the end of its useful lifespan. But if your travel adapter has removable tips, you can still convert to type D even if you broke the type G attachment.

If that appeals to you, opt for the Ceptics World Travel Adapter Kit. It’s small and has two type B plugs as well as two USB ports. One extra-smart feature worth noting is the built-in USB-C cord, which saves you from carrying a cord when using USB-C devices on the go. It’s also available in a version with two USB ports and two USB-C ports (in addition to the built-in USB-C cord). Note: the front plugs only accommodate Type A and B sockets.

If most of your devices charge via a USB-C cable, you’ll want to buy a travel adapter with more than one USB-C port. That makes the TESSAN Universal Travel Adapter worth the reasonable price, as it has not one but three USB-C ports (in addition to two standard USB ports).

While you can use a USB to USB-C cord in a pinch, being able to plug your USB-C optimized devices into a USB-C port means you’ll spend less time charging—useful if you need to charge a dead phone battery in the middle of a sightseeing day.

Another great thing about this adapter is that it doesn't just work for US plus (Type A or B) appliances. It can convert any plug type to any other plug type, making it useful for digital nomads or anyone else not based in the U.S. This isn’t the best pick if you mostly charge with standard USB cables, but it’s the best choice for buyers deep in USB-C devices.

Heading Out of the Country? If So, Expert Suzie Dundas Shares Why You Need a Travel Adapter and Which One To Buy!

PM: What’s the difference between a power adapter and a power converter?

SD: A power adapter, also known as a travel plug or a travel adapter, is a small device you’ll need when traveling to a country where the electrical plugs aren’t the same as in the US. These adapters plug into the power sockets in other countries on one side and, on the other, you plug in your device made for US power sockets. However, it does not change the voltage of the power coming from the outlet.

A power converter, also known as a voltage converter, is a device that changes the voltage of the power coming from an outlet. Voltage is essentially the power with which electricity is forced into your device. In the US, most devices like hair straighteners or electric razors are 110 volts. However, most newer devices (including most phones and computers, including Apple computers and both Apple and Google phones) are dual voltage, which means you do not need a power converter—just an adapter.

If you plug something in and notice it getting warm, making a slight buzzing noise, or delivering a very tiny shock when handling the cord, you should unplug it immediately and not use it again until you have a converter.

PM: When do you need a travel adapter?

SD: You will need a travel adapter any time you travel to most countries other than the U.S., Mexico, or Canada. In the U.S., electrical devices have either a type A port (two prongs) or a type B port (two prongs with a central round prong below).

A few countries use these same ports (such as Antigua, Panama, and Saudi Arabia), but in general, most other countries use one of a few other combos. There are 15 different plugs around the world, some of which are used in only one or two countries.

Remember, though, that there is variety within countries. For example, a cruise ship that caters to mainly French tourists may have mostly type E ports, commonly used in France, even if it sails in a country that primarily uses type L.

PM : How do I know which adapter I need?

SD: Fortunately, figuring this part out is easy. If you’re staying at a hotel or going on a cruise that caters to international guests, just ask them what ports they have (or check their FAQ page).

Otherwise, it’s as simple as doing an online search for “what type of power socket does country use?” There are also useful websites available, such as https://www.power-plugs-sockets.com , where you can click on where you live and where you’re coming from to see if you need an adapter (or converter).

Product Review: 5 Travel Adapters Go Head-to-Head

Travel adapters, at first glance, seem like a mundane concern. Just pick one and go, right? Not exactly. While many of them offer the same conveniences — worldwide charging in over 150 countries — size, weight, speed and sturdiness can make or break your charging experience on the road.

Here's a round-up of five different devices that stand out from the pack.

1. LOOP World Travel Adapter 3.0 

LOOP makes a range of travel accessories, including several different adapters. When deciding which to review, I opted for the latest 3.0 model that included an integrated battery, something atypical to the traditional adapter model. Loop calls this version the "Swiss Army Knife" of travel adapters because, as mentioned, it features a built-in 3000mAh power bank (a second version ramps it up to 6000mAh), a universal AC plug socket and dual USB charging ports, all of which can be used simultaneously. It includes all four of the main international plugs (US/EU/UK/AU). The model comes in black, blue and pink.

Pros : The integrated battery came in handy during long car rides on a recent trip to China. I also appreciated that I could charge my laptop, iPhone and iPad at once, although I seldom needed to. Also, all the international plugs were integrated into one device, so there weren't any little pieces to manage.

Cons : It had a bulky frame compared to the others in this round-up. It was also clumsy when plugged in, falling out easily if not nest.

Verdict: B- for bulk, average charging speed and awkward fit, but if you don't have an external battery on hand, it could provide a boost in a pinch.

Buy: Amazon , $15

2. FLIGHT 5-In-1 Adapter

Savvy travel company FLIGHT 001 designs sleek yet functional accessories for everyone from casual travelers to road warriors. Their most recent adapter model, the 5-in-1, is a compact system that fits together like a puzzle cube. Featuring a series of color-coded detachable plastic adapters, it includes all four main international plugs (US/EU/UK/AU), each with an AC port and an additional piece with 2 USB ports at 2.1amps that can be plugged into any of the adapter pieces.

Pros: It was attractive, light and compact. The bright colors might help you remember the adapter in the hotel room by catching your eye. If you're only traveling to the EU, remove the small green piece, attach it to the white piece for USB support, and you're ready to go.

Cons: If you're prone to losing small objects, then this might not be the best option. Of course, the cube shape is meant to help you keep track of them by giving every adapter a place to fit, but the unit didn't come with a carrying case, just the original hard box. If you plug the USB charger into the adapter's only AC socket, you can't simultaneously charge, say, a laptop.

Verdict: A- for looks, size and weight. Travel with the entire unit or toss the pieces you need in a plastic bag. Just a tad expensive.

Buy: Amazon , $35

3. BESTEK Universal Travel Adapter

Highly rated on Amazon, the BESTEK is listed as a #1 bestseller with 2,357 reviews, 1,000 answered questions and 4.1 stars. This unit is meant to provide an all-in-one adapter solution, convert 90-220V to US voltage (110V) and charge seven devices simultaneously via four USB charging ports, plus three AC ports. The unit comes with a 24-month warranty and claims over-current, over-load, over-heat and short-circuit protection, although USB outputs are isolated from the AC power. It's advertised as compact at 6 x 3 x 1.57 inches, but a 5-foot detachable power cable adds weight and bulk. The power cable comes fitted for the EU, while three international adapters (US/UK/AU) lend combined support for over 150 countries. Comes in white and black.

Pros: This unit charged a slew of devices simultaneously. With three AC plug ports and four USB charging ports, this adapter will power a small family or a professional with an assortment of electronics in constant need of charging. Offered surge protection. Came with a velvet sleeve.

Cons: For one person with a laptop, tablet, iPhone and camera batteries, I found this device overkill due to size and weight. Also, while advertised as a converter, the fine print advised not to use it for a hair dryer, hair straightener or curling iron, regardless of wattage. Finally, the converter's fan made a constant whirring sound, a feature I found annoying.

Verdict: Depends. This device came in last on my list for a solo, streamlined business or leisure traveler, although someone with greater simultaneous charging and/or converter needs might grade it higher.

Buy: Amazon , $40

4. Pac2Go Universal Travel Adapter

Pac2Go is a travel accessories company founded by longtime travelers who started designing products to fill needs they had on the road. The latest model of their travel adapter, an all-in-one 2.5 inch cube, features integrated plugs (US/EU/AU/UK) to eliminate the need for multiple adapters, one 8-hole universal AC socket and four USB ports (2 x 2.1A and 2 x 2.4A). Comes in black.

Pros: Lightweight, had multi-charging capabilities and came with a nylon carrying case. Also, if you're traveling with a non-US companion, they can plug their AC devices into the universal socket, too.

Cons: You had to remember to set the plug control switch to the desired country before you could eject the correct adapter, lest you risk breaking it. Also, it's length and width precluded it from fitting into tight or recessed spaces like the AC socket on my recent United domestic business class flight (Boeing 737-800).

Verdict: Solid "A" for everything mentioned above. I've even started using this at home for its consolidated four USB ports.

Buy: Amazon , $27

5. Syncwire 4-Port Fast Charger

A 4 x USB port travel adapter, this 5-star Amazon rated device is currently the cheapest of the bunch in this round-up at $18 (for white). It has two ports for faster charging of larger devices like tablets (2.4A) and two ports better suited to cell phones and smaller devices (2.1A). It's certified safe due to built-in "smart IC" meant to protect against overheating, over-load on the unit and over-charging onto the devices. The device has a built-in US plug which folds down to allow either an EU or UK removable adapter to slide over it. Does not have AU compatibility; does not have an AC socket; comes in white and black.

Pros: Fast charging, sleek design, lightweight.

Cons: The negatives are what it lacked: incompatibility with AU and didn't have an AC socket. Plus, loose pieces and no carrying case meant keeping track of small objects.

Verdict: Depends. Most business travelers need an AC socket for laptops, rendering this model useless. But for those who can streamline their devices down to USB-charged only, then it's a good, affordable option.

Buy: Amazon , $18

Bottom Line

Since price points don't vary too drastically, pick a unit based on the features. If you've got to charge a lot of devices on the road and worry about surge and power conversion, go with the Bestek for around $40. Otherwise, it's too much product for the average traveler. The Flight 001 5-in-1 is great and lightweight if you don't care about an all-in-one device. If you do, opt for the universal Pac2Go. Of course, if you've slimmed down your electronics to USB devices only, then the Syncwire is a good option.

The best travel adapters for 2022

Whether you’re a digital nomad who works on your laptop from a sandy foreign beach or a high-powered, all-business road warrior, you will need a travel adapter for your journeys abroad. Travel adapters let an electronic device from one country plug into an outlet from a far-off land.

Xcentz Universal Power Adapter

In the U.S., outlets use a plug with at least two flat vertical prongs, whereas in the U.K. outlets call for a plug with a top vertical prong and two bottom horizontal ones. Note that an adapter may not convert electricity, but this is something you will likely need. That’s because different countries and regions use different voltage ranges — North American devices function with a lower electrical voltage (110/120V) than devices from most other locations on the planet (220/240V) — but all-in-one adapters can convert them to a single standard. Travel adapters can save you a serious headache — and a lot of money — on your journey. We’ve gathered some of the best multi-device travel adapters to keep you juiced up while on the move.

Of all the travel adapters on our list, this offers versatility and handy features in a compact package. If you’re traveling through many countries, this one adapter could meet all your needs. It covers 200 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, Canada, and Japan. To switch between plug types, you press and slide one of the three buttons, each of which locks firmly in place, or you can pull out the compact European plug section. Plug your gadget into the other side and you’re all set. The Xcentz Universal Power Adapter includes three USB-A ports that support Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0, and a USB-C port that supports Power Delivery up to 18W, so you can charge multiple devices at once. The clever feature is the adapter’s self-resetting fuse. Usually, when the fuse in your travel adapter blows, you have to replace it. This one will trip and block the overload, letting you can push the button on the side to reset it. The universal charger is rated at 10A and supports up to 2,300W of combined power, while the pop-out EU plug is 16A and goes up to 3,680W in total.

This clever device is the perfect travel adapter for keeping your smartphones and tablets charged up. There’s a slide-on plug section and it comes with plug attachments for the U.S., Europe, the U.K., and Australia. It has USB-C and USB-A ports and it can put out up to 18W. The USB-C port supports Power Delivery and the USB-A port supports Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 standard. But that’s not all, because the Fuse Chicken Universal also packs a 6,700mAh battery inside for topping up on the go — and it works as a Qi wireless charger.

The Epicka Universal Travel Adapter One is a serviceable choice for an all-in-one world travel adapter, covering more than 150 countries with U.S., EU, AU, and U.K. plugs. It features smart fast charging with four USB ports, one USB Type C, and one AC socket with the ability to high-speed charge six devices simultaneously. Its power maxes out at 880W at 110Vac and 1840W at 230Vac. It’s compatible with various generations of USB devices from Apple, Samsung, Huawei, and more. The device’s 8A overload dual fuse, safety shutters, and plug lock system ensure safety. The unit does not convert electrical output current and voltage.

The Passport GO features four sliding tabs to reveal the different prongs and a USB-C port alongside the three USB-A ports. Thanks to GAN technology,  that USB-C port can output up to 30W. If you’re traveling through multiple countries, this could meet all your needs. It covers 200 countries and regions, including the U.S., U.K., Europe, Australia, Canada, and Japan. It’s easy to use, as you press and slide one of the four buttons to select that plug type and it locks securely in place. Though the USB-C Power Delivery port can put out 30W, that limit is shared with the three USB-A ports. There’s an AC output for larger devices and you could charge five devices at once. Zendure’s travel adapter has a self-resetting fuse, so it will trip to block an overload from damaging your devices and then reset, ready for use again.

Saunorch’s International Travel Adapter is compact and lightweight so it fits easily in your luggage and easily slots into most outlets. It has sliding mechanisms for U.S., Australian, U.K., and EU plugs to cover 150 countries. You can plug one device into the top, with four USB ports on the side for charging additional devices like smartphones and tablets. Each USB port can output a maximum of 2.4A, but the total output is 3.4A, so if you plug in four devices simultaneously, the charging rate is slower for each. It has a 6.3-amp fuse built in, but you do get a spare in case it blows, and you can open the fuse cap with a coin if you need to change it. It’s available in black or blue. The black version has three USB ports and a USB-C port. The USB-C port can output 15W/3A, so it can fast-charge smartphones and tablets.

If you’re planning to stay in one country during your travels, a set of dedicated prongs could be a simple, reliable option. The Bestek Universal Worldwide Travel Adapter Set doesn’t require users to convert or modify anything — each plug works with a specific location. The order comes with eight separate power adapters, which cover a wide range of countries, including the United Kingdom, Europe, India, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, and Israel. The set is pretty straightforward to use — just hook up the corresponding prongs to the matching plug. Then, plug in your device and go on your way.

The biggest draw to the Mu International Charger is its versatility. This device can support nearly any smartphone or tablet. Whether it’s Android , iOS, Samsung, or another brand, Mu charges them all through a flat tangle-free USB cable. This charger comes with three interchangeable plug heads, and it’s usable in over 200 countries, including throughout North America and the European Union. We appreciate its portability and wide range of capabilities. This charger’s size and compatibility can’t be beaten while you’re traveling, so consider adding one to your bag.

The Evo Global Travel Adapter weighs 50 grams and supports the electrical requirements of more than 150 countries — including the U.S., Europe, and Australia. The adapter’s design capitalizes on a modular system — when you press one button, U.S. or E.U. prongs slide out. If you twist the device, you’ll find the Australian prongs, and if you slide one side prong out, you’ll find the U.K. prongs. This adapter is particularly helpful for travelers with tablets and smartphones because, with a maximum simultaneous output of 12W, the device doesn’t have enough power to support more demanding tech. Even when used explicitly for phones and tablets, the Evo adapter is quite far down on the list of fastest chargers and it’s often finicky when switching to different configurations. We will say the biggest advantage of this product is its affordability and super lightweight.

US to Ukraine Power Adapter: What Plug Do I Need? (2024)

As of yet unscathed from the ill effects of mass tourism, the far eastern nation of Ukraine offers ample adventure to tempt the intrepid traveler. Historic Renaissance towns, grandiose Soviet cities, bopping seaside resorts, and picturesque landscapes await. You’re going to need to fully charge your devices to make the most of this fascinating country, so read on to discover everything you need to know about power adapters in Ukraine.

Of course, you’ll need to come well-prepared to make the most of your trip. Read on to learn all about power adapters as well as a few Ukraine pro travel tips for good measure.

Which power outlets do they use in the Ukraine?

Much like the rest of Europe, Ukraine uses the Type C and E power outlets that consist of two round prongs. Note that these are compatible with one another, and also compatible with the similar Type F. Put simply, if your adapter works in other parts of Europe, it’ll work in Ukraine.

Ukraine outlets operate on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz frequency in contrast to the USA which operate on a 120V supply voltage and 60Hz frequency.

What kind of power adapter do I need for the Ukraine?

While preparing for your trip you are probably asking yourself  “What plug do I need for Ukraine?”

American travelers will need to purchase a North America to Europe adapter to plug in and charge their devices, which are also known as “Type A/B to Type C/E/F” adapters.

The adapter we recommend for your trip to Ukraine is this highly reliable  Universal Adapter . It will charge your personal electronics throughout Europe (including in the United Kingdom) and 100+ countries all over the world.

View on Amazon.com ➜

What’s the electricity and power supply like in the Ukraine?

Ukraine runs on 220V and 50Hz, which is consistent with the rest of Europe. Do note, however, that this is different from the United States, which uses 120V and 60Hz.

Electricity in Ukraine isn’t particularly reliable, so expect to encounter a power failure from time to time.

Do I Need A Voltage Converter in the Ukraine?

Even though Ukraine runs on a different voltage and frequency to the US, a voltage converter isn’t necessary for the vast majority of travelers. Almost all personal electronic devices are dual voltage these days, so you can safely charge them on either system. A common exception to the rule is the portable hairdryer, which often runs on a fixed 110V. If you tried to plug it into a 220V Ukrainian outlet, you’ll likely fry the device. Therefore, always check the manufacturer’s instructions when in doubt.

Other Ukraine Packing List Items

In addition to your US to Ukraine power adapter, these items will help you pack with intention and expand the possibilities of your getaway.

1. Neck Wallet / Passport Pouch

Even though Ukraine is relatively safe, the country is no stranger to petty crime. Pickpocketing takes place on crowded streets and busy tourist sites, and the wealthy foreigner is a lucrative target. Safeguard your credit cards and passport by investing in a neck wallet. These discreet accessories slide under the shirt to keep your valuables safe from slippery fingers.

2. Packing Cubes

If you’re the kind of traveler who struggles to stay organized on the road, then you’re the kind of traveler who needs packing cubes. These lightweight little fabric boxes store each clothing type together, allowing you instantly to stash or retrieve whatever you need.

3. Virtual Private Network (VPN)

Ukraine is a hotbed of cybercrime, so you can bet your bottom dollar that not every public Wi-Fi network will be safe. Crafty hackers hang around WiFi spots to steal sensitive personal information from other users, and you’d be in a world of pain should they gain access to your bank account. The solution is simple: install a VPN to encrypt your traffic and keep your data safe from the bad guys.

4. Lip-Stick Sized Charger

Whether you’re frantically translating the menu at a restaurant or snapping a few moody photos at the ghost town of Pripyat, you’re going to need a fully charged device to take full advantage of your time in Ukraine. The best way to stay topped up while on the road is to carry a lipstick-sized charger on your person.

5. Windproof Travel Umbrella

Don’t let the rain get in the way of your plans, be prepared with a compact travel umbrella. This well-made option has an auto open/close function, convenient for entering/exiting your various destinations.

6. Jet lag Relief Pills

A non-stop flight from the US to Ukraine takes around nine hours, and that’s if you’re lucky enough to travel direct. Throw in a time difference of some seven hours or so, and you’re guaranteed to suffer from jet lag upon arrival. Help regain your bearings quickly by taking the prescribed dose of jet lag relief pills.

7. Travel Insurance for Ukraine

Any number of things could go wrong in Ukraine, and the country’s undeveloped medical system is far from ideal. Taking out a suitable travel insurance policy would cover your evacuation in the event of an emergency. We recommend TravelInsurance.com because you can compare policies from top companies to find the one that best fits you and your travel plans.

Other FAQs about traveling in the Ukraine

1. when is the best time to travel to the ukraine.

Spring (September to November) and fall (March to May) are excellent times to visit, as the temperatures are much more manageable and the tourist crowds far thinner. The fall receives an abundance of rainfall while the spring is luscious and green. Ukrainian winters (December to February) are harsh; few travelers are foolhardy enough to visit at this frigid time of year. The seaside resorts shut down completely as they become enveloped in snow, before a smattering of ski resorts open up on their place.

2. What’s the weather like in the Ukraine?

Ukraine has a continental climate that’s heavily influenced by the season. The average annual rainfall is 20 inches (500 milliliters), much of which falls in the summer months, although showers occasionally occur year-round.

In Kyiv, the maximum average temperatures are as follows: summer 77 °F (25 °C), autumn 55.4 °F (13 °C), winter 24.8 °F (-4 °C), and spring 57.2 °F (14 °C). Note that these vary tremendously the closer you get to winter and summer.

3. What is there to do in Kyiv?

Magnificent churches and cathedrals constitute a major part of Kyiv’s touristic appeal. The most striking is the golden-domed St Michael’s Monastery, whose glistening copulas can be spotted a mile away.

Other worthwhile religious edifices include: the sacred Kyevo-Pecherska Lavra with its intriguing catacombs; the Byzantine St Sophia’s Cathedral with its millennia-old mosaics and a climbable bell tower; and the blue baroque St Andrew’s Church built in a traditional Ukrainian style. Kyiv’s elegant subway system is the best way to get around the city, and the Arsenalna Metro Station is a destination in and of itself. At some 350 feet (105 meters) below the ground, it’s the deepest subway station in the world and takes a full five minutes on an escalator to reach.

Back on the surface, the Ukrainian National Chernobyl Museum provides insight into the famed disaster, while the Pinchuk Art Centre exhibits contemporary works from the hottest European names. Revolutions have long been held at the extensive Maidan Nezalezhnosti, which nowadays serves as an outdoor festival space for all kinds of events. Nearby, Khreshchatyk is a people-watching paradise packed full of high-end boutiques and glitzy cafes.

4. Where should you go in the Ukraine?

With postcard-perfect beaches and glam café-lined thoroughfares, the beautiful port city of Odessa has long been a favorite European summer escape. Aside from soaking up the sun on the sand, travelers can admire its stunning 19th-century architecture: the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater, the Potemkin Stairs, and the Primorsky Boulevard are a must. Bar hopping and nightclubbing in the ocean-facing Arcadia district is especially decadent during the heaving summer months.

Few tourist attractions are as haunting as the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Travelers follow a guide through the adjacent ghost town of Pripyat to understand just how quickly its inhabitants fled. Be sure not to venture too far from your guide, though, for they’ll constantly measure the radiation levels with a Geiger counter to ensure your chosen path is safe.

5. How to get around in the Ukraine?

Opt for a sleeper carriage on the longer journeys and  book your tickets online  to save time and hassle.

An endless array of independent bus companies cover every town in the country, although many are unreliable and uncomfortable. If possible, opt for a VIP service on either of the two most reputable players: Gunsel and Autolux.

Domestic air travel can be a chore as most flights connect in Kyiv. Nevertheless, Dniproavia, Motor Sich, Bravo Airways, and Ukraine International Airlines are all worth a look.

My 18-Hour Train Ride From Warsaw To Kyiv

My train ride from Warsaw to Kyiv was l-o-n-g and stifling hot, but all things considered a very comfortable journey between the Polish and Ukrainian capital cities onboard D 68, The Kyiv Express.

Train Review: D 68 – The Kyiv Express (Warsaw – Kyiv) – Three-Bed Sleeper Compartment

I arrived at Warszawa   Wschodnia   (Warsaw East station) at 5:00 pm, 45 minutes ahead of my departure to Kyiv. My train did not display on the departure board, so I briefly panicked, thinking I was at the wrong station. But a station attendant who spoke English directed me toward track three.

With no idea what to expect onboard the train, I spent the next 30 minutes in the departure hall charging my phone and laptop. I came prepared with a portable charger, but with an 18-hour journey ahead of me, I wanted to be as close to fully charged as possible before even leaving the station.

At 5:25 pm I proceeded to track three, where the train still had not arrived. At 5:33 pm, the train pulled up into the station, with blue and yellow passenger carriages that did not look all that different on the outside than the Metro cars in Kyiv.

Train attendants stepped off of each car and queues formed to board the train. Passports were checked and train tickets compared to a printed manifest. My train attendant in car three did not speak a word of English, but after looking at my US passport and ticket, waved me onboard.

Onboard, I found a narrow hallway with compartments on the left side. Each compartment in this carriage offered triple accommodations, with three seats as well as tri-level beds that folded down.

My roommates arrived: a mother and daughter returning to Ukraine. The daughter spoke English and asked if I would mind taking the top bunk. No problem.

I was elated to see that my room had a pair of 220-volt power outlets, which kept my devices charged during the journey.

We pulled out of Warsaw West roughly on schedule and began our journey east. The window in our compartment was damaged (it had tape over it) and dirty, so I do not have a lot of pictures from the journey itself. In fact, I was not sure how photography would be received at all, so I held off.

For the first four hours of the journey, all three of us sat up. I got a lot of work done (no wi-fi, but I was able to tether off my phone, which had a strong mobile signal) while they watched movies or played games on their tablets.

People smoked in the hallway and that cigarette smoke wafted into our room.

Around 9:30 pm, the train attendant showed up to make our beds for the evening. The top bunk (my bed) was already down, but she pulled the other two beds down from the wall.

We were provided a sealed bag with sheets and a towel, while a pillow and comforter was sitting in the storage area of the compartment (and my guess, not washed between journeys).

I used this time to change into more comfortable clothing (athletic attire). Our carriage had two bathrooms, including one with a shower. The shower was absolutely filthy and the toilet could barely flush (it just gurgled).

In case you were wondering, there was no service onboard. I thought each carriage would have a large hot water tank that you could use to make coffee or tea, but I did not even see that. There certainly was no dining car or anything like that.

I came well-prepared with nuts, beef jerky, fruit, and water…but I ended up fasting. After all that food in the Swiss Alpine Lounge , I was not hungry at all.

Minutes later, we reached Dorohusk-Osada near the Polish-Ukranian border. While I expected to have to step off the train at the Polish border, uniformed Polish officials boarded the train, stopping at each compartment to stamp us out of Poland.

We continued our journey just over the border and pulled into a garage in Rymachi (Volyn Oblast), where a change of gauge would take place (tracks in Ukraine are wider, requiring the wheels to be moved further apart). For the next four hours , we did not move. I am not sure why this took so long, but during this time the train attendant collected our passports.

I was expecting some sort of interrogation, but around 2:00 am, Ukrainian border officials in camouflage fatigue knocked on our door and without a word, handed us back our passports.

Finally, around 3:00 am local time we took off again for Kyiv (we also lost an hour crossing the border due to the time zone change), I had already been asleep for a few hours while waiting and quickly fell asleep again.

The cabin was stifling hot (nearly 30ºC according to the thermometer in the hall) and the windows did not crack open, but thankfully I was able to not just sleep, but sleep for the next seven hours without interruption.

When I awoke, we were just outside Kyiv. Finally, at 12:07 pm we pulled into Kyiv-Pasazhyrsky. I bid farewell to my roommates and we lined up to step off the train.

It was a nippy afternoon, but the sky was clear and blue.

My first stop was for a flat white in the station.

All things considered, the train ride was remarkably smooth and a superb way to travel between capitals. I was fortunate to score a last-minute ticket and thankful to arrive in Kyiv very well-rested.

There is nothing luxurious about this train. No service. Filthy restrooms. Smoking onboard. But it was a special journey and one that I hope to take back to Warsaw.

The Stress Of Traveling From Paris-Est On TGV Train

I’m glad you made it to the (East!) train station and your journey went smoothly! I should have warned you to try to get a cabin in the middle of the wagon to avoid the smokers because they usually smoke in the space between the cars so the middle cabins go first. I’d have asked the conductor to tell the smokers to go there. This train looks pretty new compared to the one I usually take from Przemysl-Odessa including a flush toilet and shower. The old fashioned train we take has the toilet flush out onto the tracks. It’s a pity they don’t have a diner wagon anymore. They cancelled that about a decade ago for budget reasons but I have fond memories of enjoying some delicious, affordable food in it. When I first went to Odessa 25 years ago, the train had a (get this) COAL fired heater and stove!!! I’m shocked that you didn’t get tea service which, to Poles and Ukrainians, is a blasphemy to have to live without.

It helps (mostly) to travel with my wife in Ukraine because she will bark in such a scary manner that most move out of her way so if there are smokers, I ask her to yell at them and they shoo.

I’ll show her the pictures.

That filthy bathroom, the 30C cabin and the cigarette smoke were the 3 strikes for me. I guess you cannot wait to check in at your hotel.

It’s hard to believe that cigarette smoke was the norm during the 1980’s and I couldn’t stand it. We miss those days when people wore suits and you got a full meal in economy class but they came at a cost. If you were lucky, you got an “inflight movie” and some old magazines such as “Boy’s life”, “Highlights”, and “Time.”

Have fun explaining the Ukraine visa stamp to US immigration when you return.

Have you heard of Global Entry? You don’t interact with any immigration officer anymore. Also, when the president of the US goes there, I don’t see any reason why Matthew would have any problems explaining his trip.

You reckon they will even notice??

How to say you’ve never been to Ukraine without saying you’ve never been to Ukraine. As a candidate for EU and NATO membership, Ukraine is a country of surprises. The first one is how modern much of it is, and how large its major cities are. I was in Ukraine three months before the invasion and traveled from there to a couple of EU countries before returning home in the U.S. No one blinked an eye about the Ukrainian passport stamps. I am returning next month. No visa is required for US citizens.

Ukraine is a democracy that has worried hard and is fighting to retain its hard won civil rights and freedoms. They don’t need ill-informed people making ignorant comments like yours.

Giving your train a solid B+, considering the circumstances of the last year. I’ve done a few Amtrak cross country rides and as much as I enjoy and support Amtrak, the train cars look so much worse! ( no war excuse ) I might find the stranger sleeper arrangement odd, but no more awkward than a long haul economy plane ride. You’re doing great!

What was the one way last minute train fare (USD)?

Hi Mathew, where did you purchase this train ticket? I can’t find it anywhere

I bought it at the ticket counter in Warsaw. Showed sold out online every day.

This is journey is utterly fascinating! I get oddly excited about each new post. Such an adventure in a part of the world that I know little about except for the war coverage. What fantastic posts!

You got it wrong. You did not arrived or leaved from Warszawa Zachodnia(West) but from Warsaw Wschodnia(East) as written in your ticket and in your photo.

But look at the station name – second picture of this story. I took a picture of it. It must stop at both places.

My dear I don’t know what got you so confused. It looks like you’re trolling everyone who speaks Polish/Ukrainian and got a google maps access.

Your train departed from Warszawa Wschodnia / Warsaw Eastern Station. Your ticket’s got Warszawa Wschodnia on it. You picture of a station building clearly shows Warszawa Wschodnia. It makes perfect sense the train heading East leaves from Eastern train station.

Wschodnia – means Eastern (wschodnia literally means where the sun rises – the same in Polish and Ukrainian).

At no point you in your journey (so far) you had anything to do with Warszawa Zachodnia, which means Western (zachodnia literally means where the sun sets).

You’re right — I am the confused one, though it was not deliberate. I was reading Wschodnia as Zachodnia when clearly (and literally) it means the opposite.

I’ve edited the post in an attempt to remove the confusion.

Obviously I’m nitpicking here, but just want to clarify: the gauge change takes so long because entire bogies get swapped out at the border facility. The train cars are designed for this – they are rolled onto a gauntlet track that features both standard (1435) and the wider, ex-Soviet gauge (1520 mm). Bogies are disconnected from the car chassis, rolled away and a new set is rolled in and fitted to the car.

Variable gauge technologies do exist (Spain, notably), but they’re not used on these sleeper cars because of the complexity and maintenance requirements. It’s easier to just swap out entire parts of the train.

I was a little concerned yesterday when your ticket clearly showed Warsaw East, but luckily you ended up at the right station after all. Safe travels, Matthew!

Very helpful explanation! Thank you.

Oh my, was I really at the wrong station? Wish I could speak Polish…

Yes, you were. In the first photo from the taxi you can clearly see in the screen that you’re heading towards Warszawa Wschodnia (Eastern Station)

Ah, I thought Wschodnia was west. So Wschodnia is east. Got it.

What holds the car up while the wheels are missing?

So interesting to read, and helpful in understanding what life is like over there. Thank you so much for these posts!

Tracks are narrower in Poland and whole Europe, not in Ukraine as you wrote.

Without a doubt, one of the most fascinating trip reports that a points blogger has ever contributed. Way to step it up, Matthew. As well reporting in such a way that is balanced and not full of hyperbole. You set a new bar as to blogging.

Why do the cars have German words on them “Schlafwagen”, are they old cars that have been put out of service by DB or DR?

It‘s also written in French and Italian. („wagon lits“ and „vagone letto“) But I am wondering why the reservation only shows the German word „ Reservierung“.

Don’t you need a visa to visit Ukraine, especially during wartime?

You have the track sizes backwards. The gauge change entering Ukraine is to switch from standard gauge (1,435 mm) Polish tracks to broad gauge (1,520 mm) Ukrainian tracks. Tracks throughout the former Soviet Union are typically wider than much of Western Europe, including Poland. (Spain and Portugal are an exception, with the primary conventional rail network having 1,668 mm Iberian gauge tracks.)

Can you share your train journey back from Kyiv? We are having trouble finding direct trains from Kyiv to Warsaw! Any help will be appreciated.

My dilemma here–

https://liveandletsfly.com/bus-or-train-kyiv-warsaw/

I ended up taking the bus. Big mistake. Go to Moldova.

Just to let you know, the windows well might be damaged as well, but they’re shutting them close without an opportunity to open on purpose and put the tape over them in case the train is hit by the artillery etc so the glass doesn’t shatter everywhere and there’s less damage ( Don’t know the efficacy of such actions but that’s the reasoning behind it and you see plenty of taped over windows in Ukraine since Feb24 2022)

Oh, I am so glad I found this rewiev! I will take the same train Warszawa-Kyiv in August. I have only travelled with the train Chelm-Kyiv before. As I am travelling with my daugther I am intresserad in the breths – is there any gunwales on the breths? Or maybe I only have to hope we will have the two lower breths.

There was a rail on the top berth. Safe travels!

Really really helpful post. Thx.

Kyiv Safety: Am I Safe to Travel to Kyiv, Ukraine in 2024?

Kyiv, Ukraine's lively capital, teems with rich history and stunning architecture. Amid news of tension, many ponder its safety for visitors.

Fear not, as we dive into the reality of safety in Kyiv, you'll find that there's more to the story than meets the eye. Understanding the local context, safety tips, and areas to avoid will be key in planning your trip. Let's explore what makes Kyiv a destination worth considering, and how you can navigate your visit with confidence.

Key Takeaways

• Kyiv is a vibrant city with a rich cultural and historical backdrop, generally safe for travelers, but demands awareness and preparation similar to any major European city.
• Political stability, effective law enforcement reforms, and active community initiatives have positively impacted Kyiv's safety, showing a decreasing trend in crime rates over recent years.
• While the city center and popular tourist areas are largely safe, certain districts like Solomyanskyi and Desnianskyi, and poorly lit areas near the Dnipro River, should be approached with caution, especially after dark.
• Travelers are advised to stay informed about current affairs, use official taxi services, secure personal belongings, avoid scam-prone situations, and have emergency numbers at hand for a safe and enjoyable visit to Kyiv.
• Engaging with reputable tour guides and understanding the public transportation system, particularly the Kyiv Metro, can enhance safety and ease of movement around the city.
• Learning basic Ukrainian phrases and respecting local customs not only facilitates smoother communication but also enriches the travel experience, reflecting positively on interactions with locals.

Understanding the Safety Situation in Kyiv

When considering a trip to Kyiv, it's crucial to grasp the current safety landscape. This vibrant capital boasts a rich tapestry of culture and history, yet the headlines often paint a picture of tension and conflict. It’s key to dive deeper and differentiate between perception and reality.

Kyiv stands as a city of resilience and transformation. Despite past upheavals, the local government and international bodies have worked tirelessly to ensure the safety of both residents and visitors. The introduction of stronger security measures and community policing has markedly improved the situation.

To give you a clearer picture, let’s look at some statistics:

These numbers illustrate a trend towards stability and a rebound in tourism, a testament to the city’s ability to maintain a welcoming environment for visitors.

Safety in Kyiv is akin to any major European city; it’s about being aware and making informed choices. The city center, renowned for its architectural beauty and vibrant nightlife, is generally safe. However, like in any large city, there are areas and situations that warrant extra caution.

Key safety tips for navigating Kyiv include:

• Stay informed about the latest travel advisories from reliable sources.
• Avoid areas known for unrest or political demonstrations.
• Keep valuables secure and be cautious of your surroundings, especially at night.

Ultimately, the narrative of Kyiv is not one-dimensional. It's a city that's navigated its challenges with grace, offering a wealth of experiences to those who visit with an open mind and the right precautions. Transitioning beyond concerns of safety, there's a rich tapestry of culture ready to be explored, from historical landmarks to modern art scenes, making Kyiv not just a stopover but a destination in its own right.

Local Context: Factors Influencing Safety

When considering a trip to Kyiv, it's crucial to understand the factors influencing safety in the city. Political stability, local law enforcement efforts, and community initiatives play significant roles in shaping the safety landscape.

Political Stability and Its Impact

Kyiv has witnessed notable political changes over the years, impacting safety perceptions. However, recent efforts towards stabilization have positively influenced the city’s safety ratings. It’s important to stay updated on current affairs as situations can evolve.

Law Enforcement and Safety Measures

The effectiveness of local law enforcement is a key factor in ensuring safety for both residents and visitors. Kyiv's police force has undergone reforms aimed at improving public trust and efficiency in response to incidents. These changes are gradually reflecting in the decreasing crime rates in the city.

These stats reveal a promising downward trend in crime, showcasing the improvements in public safety over recent years.

Community Initiatives

Community safety initiatives in Kyiv have also contributed to the city's safety. Neighborhood watch programs and public safety education campaigns are examples of how local communities are taking steps to ensure their areas remain safe for everyone.

• Stay informed about the local situation through reliable news sources.
• Follow guidelines set by local authorities.
• Respect cultural norms and practices.
• Keep emergency contacts handy.

Understanding these factors helps you navigate Kyiv with an informed perspective, appreciating the efforts made to ensure the city remains a welcoming place for visitors.

Safety Tips for Travelers in Kyiv

When planning your trip to Kyiv, it's crucial to prioritize your safety. Awareness and preparedness are your best tools. Here's how you can enhance your safety while enjoying what Kyiv has to offer.

Firstly, stay informed about the local situation . Political unrest can occasionally flare up in Kyiv, affecting safety and travel plans. Regularly consult reliable news sources both international and local to Kyiv for any travel advisories or safety alerts.

Keep your personal belongings secure , especially in crowded places such as markets, public transportation, or tourist sites. Petty theft and pickpocketing are not uncommon in busy areas. Consider using anti-theft bags or keeping valuables in inner jacket pockets.

Be mindful of scams targeting tourists . Common ones involve currency exchange, fake taxis, and overpriced restaurants. Always use official taxi services, pre-agreed upon prices, and check restaurant reviews before dining.

If you’re going out at night, stick to well-lit and populated areas . Avoid walking alone late at night, especially in unfamiliar neighborhoods. It's advisable to use trusted taxi services to get back to your accommodation safely.

Emergency services in Kyiv are accessible by dialing 112 for the police, 101 for fire emergencies, and 103 for medical emergencies. It’s a good practice to have these numbers saved in your phone.

Lastly, connect with other travelers . Platforms such as travel forums or social media groups can provide real-time advice and experiences shared by fellow travelers. This peer-to-peer insight can be invaluable in navigating the city safely.

By following these tips, you're setting yourself up for a safe and enjoyable trip to Kyiv. Stay alert, plan ahead, and don’t miss out on embracing the unique experiences that this vibrant city has to offer.

Areas to Avoid in Kyiv

While Kyiv is a city brimming with culture and history, there are certain areas that demand extra caution or are best avoided, especially after dark. Your safety is paramount, so being informed about these areas can significantly reduce potential risks during your stay.

First and foremost, Solomyanskyi District , particularly around the Kyiv Zhuliany International Airport, has seen a higher rate of petty crime. Tourists can sometimes be seen as easy targets for theft or scams, so it's crucial to keep your wits about you and secure your belongings.

Desnianskyi District also warrants attention, particularly in less populated or poorly lit areas late at night. While not inherently dangerous, its outskirts have a reputation for being less secure, especially for tourists unfamiliar with the city's layout.

Recently, areas near the Dnipro River have been flagged by local authorities for a rise in nocturnal activities that might not be tourist-friendly. Staying clear of poorly lit riverbanks and park zones after sunset is a wise decision.

Statistics demonstrate that tourist experiences in Kyiv overwhelmingly lean towards the positive, yet vigilance in these specific districts can't be overstressed. Below is a summary of key points to be mindful of in these areas:

• Solomyanskyi District: Keep personal belongings secure, especially in crowded areas.
• Desnianskyi District: Caution advised after dark, stick to well-lit paths.
• Dnipro River areas: Avoid isolated riverbanks and parks at night.

Your safety in Kyiv isn't just about avoiding certain areas. It's also about how you navigate the city - always using trusted taxi services, staying informed about local events, and keeping emergency contacts handy. By following these guidelines, coupled with your knowledge of areas to be mindful of, your visit to Kyiv stands to be both safe and memorable.

Navigating Kyiv with Confidence

When you're planning a trip to Kyiv, safety is naturally a top concern. Understanding the landscape and preparing adequately can turn your stay into a memorable adventure for all the right reasons. Kyiv , the capital city of Ukraine, is bustling with cultural sites, historic landmarks, and vibrant markets, offering an array of experiences for every traveler. However, like any major city, Kyiv comes with its own set of challenges. Fear not; with the right knowledge and precautions, you can navigate Kyiv confidently.

Firstly, awareness of your surroundings is crucial. While Kyiv boasts a relatively low crime rate compared to other major cities worldwide, petty theft and tourist scams can occur. Always keep your belongings close, especially in crowded areas such as Independence Square and Khreshchatyk Street. Engage with reputable tour guides and services to enhance your experience and ensure your safety during your explorations.

Secondly, understanding the public transportation system can significantly reduce stress and vulnerability. The Kyiv Metro is an efficient and safe way to travel around the city. It's not only cost-effective but also avoids the potential risks of navigating through less familiar areas on foot. Always have a map of the metro system on hand, either in physical form or on your phone.

Lastly, communication is key. While English is widely spoken in tourist areas and among younger Ukrainians, learning a few basic phrases in Ukrainian can help bridge gaps and show respect for the local culture. It also ensures that you can ask for help or directions if needed.

By staying informed, making smart choices, and preparing for the unexpected, you're set for an exciting and secure visit to Kyiv. Whether you're soaking in the rich history, tasting the exquisite local cuisine, or exploring the city's green spaces, Kyiv is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Exploring Kyiv can be a rewarding experience when you're well-prepared and informed. Remember to secure your belongings, connect with trustworthy guides, and navigate the public transit with confidence. A little effort in learning the local language goes a long way in enriching your journey. By following these practical tips, you'll not only safeguard your trip but also immerse yourself fully in the unique charm and history of Kyiv. Get ready to create unforgettable memories in one of Europe's most vibrant capitals.

What is resolution?

Resolution refers to the number of pixels a screen can show. The higher the number of pixels a screen can show , the sharper the image quality is. Baseline full HD features 1,920 x 1,080 pixels (1080p) and there are sharper standards, QHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) and 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160 pixels)

Larger Screens, higher resolution

Pixel density is another factor when it comes to picture quality. Larger screens require higher resolution to maintain the same pixel density as smaller screens with lower resolution. Monitors with higher resolution deliver crisper details and provide more screen space.

Are you Looking for a wider screen?

Most monitors feature a 16:9 aspect ratio and are suiable for content viewing and productivity work. However, new standards including 21:9 or even 32:9 a offering a wider display experience for better multitasking and improved visuals

The Super Fast Wireless Charger Pad has a built-in cooling system with a fan and charges your phone fast.

Designed to fit your space

Simply place the Wireless Charger where you want it. With a slim, smooth and compact design, it fits even in your smaller spaces, so it's easy to access when your phone or earbuds need a little extra juice.

Colors inform charging status

The LED light intuitively tells you the charging status of your device with different colors: red for charging, flashing red for charging error, and green for fully charged. When it’s time for lights out, you can dim it to not disturb your beauty sleep.
