From Saudi Arabia to Sweden
When travelling from Saudi Arabia to Sweden: None of your Saudi Arabia plug types fit in Sweden. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (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 Sweden
Sweden uses 230V/50Hz with Type C and F sockets across the country.
Grid & history
Sweden’s grid evolved with strong hydro and nuclear generation, later expanding wind. The system is highly reliable and well interconnected with the Nordic grid.

Urban areas have excellent reliability. In cabins and remote north, brief outages can occur during storms.
Sockets & hotels
Most homes and hotels have recessed Schuko (Type F). Type C works in Type F outlets.

Practical tips
- Carry a compact Type C/F adapter if you’re coming from outside Europe.
- Winter trips to remote areas: a small power bank is useful.
