In Andorra, sockets of type F are used. This type has two round pins and earthing clips on the sides. It is the same type that is also common in the Netherlands, and therefore immediately recognisable for Dutch travellers.

If you're looking for more explanation about the different socket types, the page about travel plug type F is relevant too. That way you quickly see why Andorra is usually not a difficult destination for Dutch travellers when it comes to power and plugs.

No, you usually don't need a travel plug in Andorra. Because type F is used there, Dutch plugs in practice just fit directly into the sockets. The frequency of 50 Hz and the voltage of 230 volts are also the same as the Netherlands.

That means you can usually use devices such as a phone charger, laptop charger, camera charger or power bank without an extra adapter. That's precisely why Andorra is a simple destination on this point for travellers from the Netherlands.

Yes, Dutch plugs usually just fit in Andorra. That applies in particular to type F plugs, which are the standard there. In practice, you can therefore usually connect your devices directly without having to bring an adapter.

Still, it's wise to take older accommodations or simpler stays into account, where sockets can sometimes be a bit less sturdy. That doesn't change the type of connection, but it can affect ease of use during your trip.

Do you need a voltage converter in Andorra?

No, you usually don't need a voltage converter. In Andorra the standard voltage is 230 volts at 50 Hz. That is the same as the Netherlands. So for modern devices that normally doesn't cause a problem.

That applies for example to phones, laptops, tablets, camera chargers and power banks. Before departure, however, always check the label of your device, especially if you're bringing older electronics or single-voltage equipment.

Which plug is best for Andorra?

For Andorra only, you usually don't need an extra adapter. However, if you're travelling through several countries in Europe or combining your trip with destinations outside Europe, a world plug can still be handy. That way you don't have to keep figuring out which type you need.

If you travel more often in Europe, pages such as travel plug France, travel plug Spain and travel plug Portugal can also be relevant if you combine several destinations.
