Power plugs, sockets and travel adapter in Estonia

The local supply in Estonia 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.

Estonia combines a beautifully preserved medieval old town in Tallinn with a reputation as one of Europe's most digitally advanced societies. Forests, islands and a long Baltic coastline lie just beyond the city.

There, the main plug types C and F 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 Estonia uses type C and F sockets, which are standard across all three Baltic states. A single European adapter is sufficient for a trip covering Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in one itinerary.
