From Brazil to Bulgaria
When travelling from Brazil to Bulgaria: Some of your Brazil plug types fit in Bulgaria (C). Bring a compact adapter for the others. Voltage is different (127V / 220V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Bulgaria
Bulgaria is 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.
Grid & history
The Kozloduy nuclear plant covers about a third of Bulgarian electricity. Coal still plays a major role; renewables (mostly hydro and wind) are growing.
Availability
Reliable in cities; rural Rhodope and Balkan mountain areas can see brief outages.
Sockets & hotels
Type F (Schuko) is the standard.
Energy mix
Coal in decline.
Practical tips
- A small Type C/F European adapter is all you need.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
