Can I use my devices in Denmark?
The local supply in Denmark is 230 V / 50 Hz. Most modern chargers for phones, laptops, cameras are dual voltage and work worldwide as long as the plug fits the socket.
- OKAY Phone, tablet, camera chargers and power banks usually support 100–240 V and can be used safely with the correct plug or adapter.
- CAUTION Laptops, game consoles and monitors often work worldwide, but always check the voltage range (100–240 V) on the power brick before plugging in.
- AVOID Single-voltage devices with heating elements (hair dryers, straighteners, kettles) can be problematic if their rated voltage does not match the local supply of 230 V.
Denmark blends Viking history, coastal landscapes and some of the world's most admired design and architecture. Copenhagen is consistently ranked among Europe's most livable and most enjoyable cities to visit.
There, the main plug types C, E, F and K are used and the standard supply is 230 V at 50 Hz. You will need a travel adapter because the local plug types differ from those used in your home country. Most modern devices support 100–240 V.
Tip Denmark uses the type K socket with a distinctive U-shaped earth pin, though standard European type C plugs also fit without an adapter. Travelers from the UK, North America or Australia will need a dedicated adapter for the Danish system.
