Default Power outlets in Europe

Seems there may be several types of power outlets used in Europe. I’ll be in Rome, France, and Madrid and from what I can tell I may run into different power plugs in each destination. What adapters do I need to get?

Italy, France and Spain (as well as the rest of Europe) all have the same outlets. The UK and Ireland are different. A single universal or Europe adapter will work fine. Just keep in mind power is 220/230 volts so check your devices to make sure they’re dual voltage.

As described the outlets are all the same. Except UK and Ireland. And the outlets in the Switzerland are different, too.
Power ist 230 Volts (not 220).

I'm using an older Version of that Skross-Adapter and love it. But for wall-outlets in UK its a bit too heavy. It can slip out.

For others travelling Europe:

We carry one of these:

and it has worked well in the countries of interest to the OP.

While this doesn’t actually state dual voltage I believe this should work? It belongs to a C-Pap machine. IMG_5879.jpg

Voltage is listed as 100-240, so it’s fine. I have a ResMed S9 and have used it in Europe many times.
