Travel adapter from Vatican City to Antigua and Barbuda
Adapter Required
Yes — coming from Vatican City, you will need a travel adapter for Antigua and Barbuda. Vatican City uses Type C/Type F/Type L plugs, and Antigua and Barbuda uses Type A/Type B, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (50 Hz vs 60 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
