Voltage: 230V
Frequency: 50 Hz
Plug Type: Type C (two round pins) and Type F (two round pins with grounding clips on sides) - standard European plugs
From UK: Type G to Type C/F adapter required. UK devices rated for 230V work fine; most modern electronics (phones, laptops, cameras) automatically handle voltage.
From USA/Canada: Type A/B to Type C/F adapter required PLUS voltage converter if device is not dual-voltage. Check device specifications - most modern electronics are dual voltage (110-240V). Hair dryers, curling irons, and heating appliances often require converters unless specifically rated for 230V.
From Australia/New Zealand: Type I to Type C/F adapter needed. Australian devices rated for 230-240V work without voltage converter.
Purchase at airport arrivals area (more expensive), electronics stores in city, or hotel reception desks (limited availability, may charge premium). Better to bring from home. Universal travel adapters work well for multiple European destinations.
Most hotels provide limited outlets. Bring multi-plug power strip or USB charging hub for multiple devices. Many modern hotels and cafés offer USB charging ports. Power banks useful for day-long sightseeing.
Power cuts are extremely rare in Bucharest. Older buildings may have limited outlets in rooms. Bathroom outlets typically provided for shavers (lower voltage, limited amperage). Always check device voltage rating before plugging in to avoid damage.
