Main Voltage in Monaco

Do I Need a Voltage Converter in Monaco?

Monaco runs on a main voltage of 230 volts at a frequency of 50 Hz. This is effectively the same as India's 230V/50Hz. You can plug any Indian device into a Monaco socket without a voltage converter, as long as the plug shape fits.

Will my Indian charger work in Monaco?

Your charger will work, but only with a plug adapter. Monaco uses Type E and F sockets at 230V/50Hz. Your Indian phone and laptop chargers are dual-voltage (the label reads 100–240V), so they handle Monaco voltage without any issue. The only question is plug shape — your Indian plug will not fit Type E and F sockets at all, so you must carry a travel adapter. You do not need a voltage converter — Monaco's 230V is the same as India's 230V.
