When you travel to Denmark, it is a good idea to know which types of tension and tension they are used so you can charge and use your equipment without problems.
Most modern travel adapters fit without any issues, but there are still some differences to be aware of—especially if you're coming from the UK, the USA, or Asia.
What current and voltage are used in Denmark?
Used in Denmark 230 volts (V) og 50 Hertz (Hz) alternating current
It is the same standard as in most of Europe, and that means you can use most European devices directly, FX chargers, hairdryers, cameras, and computers.
If you come from a country where the voltage is 110–120 V (fx USA, Canada, Japan), you need to ensure that your device can handle it دوولتیج (110–240 V). Otherwise, you need to use a power converter.
What type of needle is used in Denmark?
Denmark uses Type C and F:
- Type C: To round bones (standard European plug)
- Type F: To run legs with side ground (Schuko plug)
Most travel adapters with EU-standard (Europlug) pass directly into Danish power outlets.
If you are traveling from the United Kingdom, USA, Switzerland, or Australia, you need to use a travel adapter.
Adapters – what do you need?
If you come from:
- United Kingdom (UK): Use an adapter from type G to type C/F
- USA / Canada: Use an adapter + possibly a power converter (from 110V to 230V)
- Australia Adapter from type I to type C/F
- EU countries: No adapter needed – same plug type
Travel adapters can be purchased at electronics stores, airports, and supermarkets throughout Denmark.
A good piece of advice is to choose one universal adapter With USB port – so you can charge multiple devices at the same time.
Charging of electronics
Most hotels and holiday homes have many power outlets, and many newer rooms have USB port directly into the wall.
Found at cafes, train stations, and airports free charging stations, and DSB's trains typically Stick and USB by the seats.
Tip: Bring a Extension cord with multiple outletsIf you travel as a family – it makes charging easier, especially in holiday homes.
Adapter and power in electric cars
If you drive an electric car in Denmark, you need to know Type 2 stick type, which is standard for charging.
Most charging stations support:
- Type 2 AC charging
- CCS (Combo) fast charging
Charging stations are available everywhere – in cities, at hotels, and along highways.
You can use apps like:
- Clever
- E.ON Drive
- OK Load App
- Spirii Go
Most chargers require an app or RFID key to start charging.
Safety and good advice
- Avoid overload Do not use too many powerful devices in the same outlet.
- Check the effect: Look at the markings (e.g., "Input 100–240V") on your devices.
- Beware of moisture Never use electrical appliances outdoors in rain or damp weather.
- Turn off devices at night to save electricity and increase safety
Green energy in Denmark
Denmark is one of the world's most sustainable countries and gets a large part of its electricity from wind turbines and solar energy.
Over 60% of the electricity in Denmark comes from renewable energy, and the proportion grows every year.
As a traveler, you can therefore use electricity with a clear conscience – many hotels and holiday homes are even CO₂-neutral.
