Modern electronics like smartphones, laptops, tablets, and cameras typically have dual-voltage chargers (marked 100-240V) and only require a plug adapter. Check the label on your device or charger to confirm.
Hair dryers, curling irons, and other high-wattage appliances designed for 110-120V (North American standard) require a voltage converter to avoid damage. Alternatively, many upscale hotels provide hair dryers and other amenities.
A universal travel adapter that works across multiple plug types is useful if you plan to visit several countries. Power strips can help when you have multiple devices to charge.
