Adapters and electricity in Iceland
February 11, 2026 · Travel Tips
Powering Your Iceland Adventure
Traveling in Westfjords & West Iceland is easier when your devices stay charged and ready. Iceland uses 230 V at 50 Hz with Type F (Schuko) outlets—don’t let a missing adapter slow you down. Book your stay through Ourhotels.is for a hassle-free charging experience and unbeatable comfort.
What to Pack
- Type C/F travel adapter (fits Schuko outlets)
- Compact multi-USB charger or power strip
- Portable power bank for long day trips
- Spare charging cables for phone, camera and laptop
When to Go & How Long to Stay
June through August brings nearly 24 hours of daylight—perfect for nonstop exploration and device recharges. For Northern Lights hunters, plan a trip between September and March. We recommend 5–7 nights in the region to experience everything from Borgarfjörður’s lava fields to Ísafjörður’s charming harbor.

- Hvítá Inn (Borgarfjörður): Spacious rooms with bedside outlets and USB ports, plus fast Wi-Fi for seamless streaming and remote work.
