Electricity & Plugs in Sarajevo

Practical Utilities Information

Voltage & Frequency: Bosnia uses 230 volts AC at 50 Hz frequency, standard throughout Europe. Most modern devices with voltage conversion (check if 100-240V) will work without adapters.

Plug Types: Type C (two round pins) and Type F (two round pins with earth clips) are standard. These are the same plugs used throughout continental Europe. Bring adapters if traveling from UK, US, Australia, or other regions using different standards.

Adapter Recommendations: Universal travel adapters accommodating multiple plug types provide convenient solution. They're widely available and inexpensive. Most hotels provide adapters if you request them.

Reliability: Power supply is reliable in the city center and modern areas. Occasional outages occur in some neighborhoods during winter months. Carrying a power bank for devices provides backup security.

Where to Buy: Electronic shops in downtown Sarajevo and airports stock adapters and universal plugs if you arrive unprepared.
