Can I use my devices in Latvia?
The local supply in Latvia 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.
Latvia's capital Riga is home to one of Europe's finest collections of Art Nouveau architecture, set alongside a compact old town, a lively market scene and easy access to long sandy beaches on the Baltic coast.
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 Latvia uses type C and F sockets, the same as its Baltic neighbors Estonia and Lithuania. Travelers from the UK, North America or Australia should bring a standard European plug adapter; those from continental Europe will have no issues.
