IF YOU ARE COMING FROM THE UNITED STATES, YES: BRING A TRAVEL ADAPTER. DENMARK USES TWO-PIN CONTINENTAL PLUGS AND 220 VOLT, 50 HZ ELECTRICITY. YOUR US PLUG DOES NOT GET TO VOTE ON THIS.
Most phone, tablet and laptop chargers are designed for both 100–240V. Check the tiny print on the charger: if it says 100–240V, you need a physical plug adapter, not a voltage converter. If it only supports 110–125V, do not plug it straight into a Danish socket.
What to pack
- A compact two-pin European plug adapter for your normal devices.
- A charger marked 100–240V for phones, laptops and many cameras.
- A converter only when your device actually needs one. Hair tools are the classic trap. Read the label before you turn your travel bag into a small electrical experiment.
The boring but useful truth
This is not a Danish surprise. It is standard continental European electricity. Buy one reliable adapter before you leave, pack it where you can reach it, and stop thinking about it.
