Sockets & hotels
Bring a universal adapter, outlets of all four types coexist depending on building era.
Energy mix
Gas-dominated; solar growing.
Practical tips
- A universal adapter covering A, C, G, and M is the safest choice.
- Voltage is the standard 230V, and modern chargers handle it without issue.
