Where are you travelling from?

Pick your home country to see if your plugs fit in Hungary.

Travel adapters for Hungary

Most modern phones, laptops, cameras, and tablets are rated for 100–240 V, so you only need a simple plug-shape adapter when the voltage matches what your charger supports. Because Hungary runs at the higher 230 V range, travelers from the United States, Canada, or Japan must check the label on each device. Anything marked “120 V only” will be destroyed if plugged in without a step-down voltage converter. For a Type C/Type F socket, a universal travel adapter or a region-specific adapter is enough for chargers that handle dual voltage.

Frequently asked questions

What plug does Hungary use?

Hungary uses Type C and Type F plugs and runs at 230 volts, 50 Hz.

Do I need a travel adapter for Hungary?

Yes, if your home country does not use Type C and Type F. Most modern phone and laptop chargers handle 100–240 V, so a simple plug-shape adapter is enough.

What voltage is used in Hungary?

Mains voltage in Hungary is 230 V at 50 Hz.

Can I use my phone or laptop charger in Hungary?

Almost always yes. Modern phone, laptop, tablet and camera chargers are dual-voltage (rated 100–240 V), so they handle Hungary's 230 V automatically. You only need a plug-shape adapter, not a voltage converter. Check the small print on the charger to confirm.
