Do you need a travel adapter for Austria?

No, in most cases you don't.

Austria uses type C and F power outlets, exactly the same as in the Netherlands. Your Dutch plugs simply fit into the outlet, without an adapter. The mains voltage is also the same (230 volts, 50 Hz), so you don't need a voltage converter either.

A travel adapter for Austria is therefore only useful when you:

• bring a plug from another continent (for example an American charger)
• make a round trip that also includes other countries
• want to invest in advance in a world adapter for future trips
• want extra USB and USB-C ports to charge several devices at once

Which type of power outlet does Austria have?

Austria uses two plug types, both identical to the Netherlands:

• Type C: the familiar European flat plug with two round pins, without earthing
• Type F: the Schuko plug with two round pins and earthing clips on the sides

These types are standard throughout Austria, from Vienna, Salzburg and Innsbruck to remote mountain huts in Tyrol or the Alps. There are no regional differences.

When is a world adapter still handy in Austria?

Although you don't need an adapter for Austria itself, a world adapter can still be useful in a few situations.

Are you combining Austria with another continent? For example a flight via the US or a stopover in the UK (type G), then you will encounter different outlets along the way. A world adapter covers all these types in one device.

Do you have an American or Asian charger? Then it won't fit into an Austrian outlet without an adapter. In that case a travel adapter converts your foreign plug to the European format.

Do you want to charge several devices at once? Besides the universal outlet, the Remodius World Adapter also has USB-A and USB-C ports, so you can charge your phone, laptop, earbuds and power bank at the same time, handy in a hotel room or mountain hut with only one outlet.

Power and voltage in Austria

The power supply in Austria is identical to that in the Netherlands.

• Voltage: 230 volts
• Frequency: 50 Hz
• Compatible with Dutch devices: yes

So you don't need a voltage converter. All your Dutch devices, such as phone, laptop, camera, hairdryer and shaver, work without any problems.

Buy a travel adapter for Austria

For a trip to Austria itself you don't need to buy a travel adapter. But if you travel more often, a world adapter is an investment that quickly pays for itself. You have one for all destinations, with USB ports for several devices and compact enough for your hand luggage.

Traveling on from Austria to, for example, the UK, the US, Asia or Australia? Then the Remodius World Adapter works there too, in 220+ countries.
