What you need, by where you are coming from
Arriving from the United States or CanadaA plug adapter, and appliances marked 100-240 V. Anything single-voltage needs a converter.
Arriving from the UK or IrelandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Arriving from most of continental EuropePlugs go straight in and the voltage matches. Nothing to pack.
Arriving from Australia or New ZealandA plug adapter is enough - the voltage is the same as at home.
Socket types, voltage and frequency are the nominal domestic supply as published in IEC/TR 60083 and the national standards it lists.
Croatian sockets are Type Schuko at 230 V, the same as most of central Europe.
Sockets in Croatia are Type and at 230 V, 50 Hz - Schuko, the same as Germany, Austria and Italy's non-Italian outlets.
A Europlug fits every socket, and so does the hybrid European plug on appliance leads.
British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
230 V matches the rest of Europe; only American 120 V-only equipment needs a converter.
Apartments and sobe in older stone houses often have a single earthed socket per room and a chain of extension leads off it, which is worth knowing before you rely on charging four things at once.
Slovenia, Bosnia, Serbia, Montenegro and Hungary all match, so a Balkans road trip needs one adapter and no more - until Italy, a ferry away, where the Italian gauge appears.
