  1. Switzerland has different shaped plugs from France/Spain/Italy (still two round pins, but the socket is a squashed hexagon instead of round).

    You can get all-in-one adapters which would be the best option.

    Check that the chargers for your laptop/phone/camera can handle 240V...if not you will fry your electronics unless you also bring a stepdown-voltage-converter with you....and even then I'd be dubious.  Look on the charger for words like "Input 100-240V"...that would be OK.


  2. Go to your local best buy or radio shack or even future shop.  Tell them you need a European adapter and they will know EXACTLY what you need!

  3. wal mart has a world power inverter. itl cover all of europe... enjoy... i went to italy and it was a blast... but wal mart has you covered
