What plug type is used in Cuba?

Cuba uses plug types A, B, C and L. The most common is type A – the North American two-prong plug. Most sockets are 110 V type A/B, but many hotels also have 220 V sockets. Always check the voltage.

What is the voltage in Cuba?

The mains voltage in Cuba is 110/220 V and the frequency is 60 Hz. Two voltages are in use – check which one the socket has before plugging in (the easiest way is to ask at your hotel).

Do I need a travel adapter for Cuba?

You need an adapter if your devices have plugs other than types A, B, C and L. You won’t need one if you’re coming from Canada, Japan and United States. Only some plugs fit for travellers from China, France, Germany, India and Poland. Travellers from Australia and United Kingdom need an adapter to type A.

Do I need a voltage converter in Cuba?

If you bring devices from Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, United Kingdom and United States, check their rating labels. Phone and laptop chargers usually work on 100–240 V, but hair dryers, straighteners and kettles often do not – those need a voltage converter.
