Travel plug Slovakia 🇸🇰

Do you need a travel adapter for Slovakia?

No, in most cases not.

Slovakia uses type C and E sockets. Your Dutch type C plug (for example a phone charger) fits directly into a Slovak socket. Your Dutch type F plug (Schuko, with earth clips) usually also fits, because type E sockets have an earth pin that fits into the hole of an F plug.

There is one exception: older type F plugs without a hole for the earth pin do not always fit. In that case a simple type E adapter is sufficient.

A travel adapter for Slovakia can be useful when you:

• have an older Dutch plug without an earth pin hole
• take a round trip during which you also visit other countries
• invest in advance in a universal travel adapter for future trips
• want extra USB and USB-C ports to charge several devices at once

Which socket type does Slovakia have?

Slovakia uses two plug types:

• Type C: the standard European flat plug with two round pins, without earthing
• Type E: an earthed socket with two round holes and a protruding earth pin in the middle

Type E is the most common socket in Slovakia. It is the same type as in France, Belgium, Poland and the Czech Republic. If you combine your trip with one of these countries, you do not need an extra adapter anyway.

There are no regional differences in Slovakia. Whether you stay in Bratislava, Kosice, the High Tatras or a remote guesthouse in Slovak Paradise, you encounter the same type of socket everywhere.

When is a universal travel adapter still handy in Slovakia?

Although you usually do not need an adapter for Slovakia itself, a universal travel adapter can be useful in a few situations.

Do you have an older Schuko plug without a hole for the earth pin? Then it does not always fit smoothly into a Slovak type E socket. A universal travel adapter gets around that problem.

Are you combining Slovakia with another part of the world? For example a flight via the US or onward travel to the UK (type G), then you do come across other sockets along the way. A universal travel adapter covers all these types in one device.

Do you want to charge several devices at once? In addition to the universal socket, the Remodius Universal Travel 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 socket.

Power and voltage in Slovakia

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

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

So you do not need a voltage converter. All your Dutch devices, such as phone, laptop, camera, hair dryer and shaver, work without any problems.

Buying a travel adapter for Slovakia

For a trip to Slovakia itself you do not need to buy a travel adapter in most cases. But if you travel more often, a universal travel 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.

Travelling onward from Slovakia to, for example, the UK, the US, Asia or Australia? Then the Remodius Universal Travel Adapter works there too, in 220+ countries.
