Cabo Verde to Italy: Complete Plug & Adapter Guide (2026) No Adapter Needed
If you're heading to Italy from Cabo Verde, it's worth checking the power situation before you pack. Different countries use different outlet types and electrical standards, so your devices may not plug in directly when you arrive.
Good news: Cabo Verde and Italy share compatible plug types (Type C and F). Your existing plugs should fit directly into Italy's outlets without any adapter needed.
The voltage and frequency in Italy (230V, 50Hz) are the same as Cabo Verde (230V, 50Hz), so your appliances should work without a converter.
A universal travel adapter with multiple plug configurations is a smart investment if you travel frequently. For Italy specifically, look for one that supports Type C/F/L outlets. USB charging ports built into the adapter are a nice bonus.
