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.
Luxembourg sockets are Type Schuko at 230 V, unlike Belgium and France next door.
Sockets in Luxembourg are Type and at 230 V, 50 Hz - the German Schuko outlet, not the French one used across two of its three borders.
- A Europlug fits every socket in the country, which covers most chargers.
- Belgium and France use the earth-pin Type socket instead. A hybrid European plug works in all three; a bare Schuko plug can fail once you cross.
- British, American and Australian plugs need an adapter.
- 230 V, so only American 120 V-only appliances need a converter.
- Germany, the third border, matches exactly, so a plug bought in Trier works in Luxembourg City and one bought in Metz may not.
- Older buildings have unearthed sockets of the same shape, with nothing behind the clips.
