The official plug standard in the United Kingdom since 1962 is the BS 1363 plug. (The previous plug standard was BS 546, still found in older buildings.) The BS 1363 plug is also used in Ireland, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore.
Do I need a special plug to charge my phone in Europe?
You need a European plug adapter to use with your wall charger so that you can plug it into a wall outlet in Italy or elsewhere in Europe (except the UK). There are all kinds of World Plug Adapters, ranging from basic ones that are simple but would do the job, to sophisticated but pricier ones.
Do I need a converter or adapter to charge my phone in Europe?
European Voltage is usually 220, and the US is 110. So things without a transformer need a converter. You DO need an adapter to plug things in (unless the hotel has some universal plugs, which the Park Hyatt does, I believe have). DO NOT EXPECT YOUR HAIRDRYER, CURLING IRONS or other devices to work in Europe.
What does a Type C plug look like?
The Type C plug (also called the Europlug) has two round pins. The pins are 4 to 4.8 mm wide with centers that are spaced 19 mm apart; the plug fits any socket that conforms to these dimensions. It also fits into Type E, F, J, K or N sockets that often replace the Type C socket.
