From Papua New Guinea to Bulgaria
When travelling from Papua New Guinea to Bulgaria: None of your Papua New Guinea plug types fit in Bulgaria. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (240V → 230V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 230V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency is the same at 50Hz.

About electricity in Bulgaria
Bulgaria is 230V/50Hz with Type C and F (Schuko) sockets.

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.
