Voltage: Brazil operates on 110V and 220V (dual standard). Most outlets supply 110V, but some areas use 220V. Always check before plugging devices.
Plug Types: Brazil uses two standards: Type N (three round pins in triangular pattern) and the older Type A/B (two flat pins). Most newer establishments use Type N exclusively.
Adapters Needed: If visiting from North America/Europe, purchase Type N adapters before arrival or at airport shops. Multi-voltage adapters with USB ports available (R$25-50).
Voltage Converter: If your devices are 100-120V only (US appliances), bring a voltage converter for 220V outlets. Many hotels have 110V outlets in rooms.
USB Charging: Most hotels and restaurants provide USB outlets. Power banks recommended for all-day city exploration.
Safety Tip: Look for outlet labels indicating voltage. When in doubt, request an adapter from hotel staff or purchase locally rather than risk device damage.
