Voltage & Frequency: Baku operates on 220V, 50Hz AC power system. This is standard for Europe and Middle East but different from North American 110V.
Plug Types: Most outlets use European Type C and F plugs (two round pins). Some older buildings may have Soviet-style sockets. Universal adapters are available but prepare before arrival.
Power Reliability: Power supply in central Baku is reliable and consistent. Occasional outages are rare. All major hotels and modern buildings have backup generators.
Adapters & Converters: Bring a universal adapter if your devices use US or UK plugs. Converters for voltage transformation are needed for North American devices (check device specifications first). These are available in airport shops but purchasing before travel is cost-effective.
Charging Facilities: All hotels provide charging stations. Most modern cafés and shopping centers have USB charging points. Carry a portable power bank for all-day sightseeing.
