Electrical Current in Vienna

Plugs in Austria are the standard (two pronged) continental type, using 220-volt current (50 cycles A/C). Visitors from the UK need only buy a two pin plug adapter to use British 240V electrical goods, whereas North American travellers with 110V appliances also need a current transformer. Modern equipment such as PC notebooks work equally well on both currents, although it’s advisable to check operating instructions before travelling.
