Bosnia and Herzegovina Travel Adapters
Type C & Type F • 230 volts • 50 Hz
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country in southeastern Europe on the Balkan Peninsula. It borders Croatia, Serbia, and Montenegro and has a small coastline along the Adriatic Sea. The capital city is Sarajevo, while other major cities include Banja Luka and Mostar. The country is known for its mountainous landscapes, historic Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian architecture, and culturally diverse heritage shaped by centuries of European and Balkan history.
Bosnia and Herzegovina uses mains electricity supplied at 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type F. Travelers from regions that use different plug types need a travel adapter for Type C or Type F; equipment that is not dual voltage requires an appropriate voltage converter.

Do I need a voltage converter for Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Only if your device isn't dual voltage. Most phones, laptops, and cameras are rated for 100–240V and only need a plug adapter for Bosnia and Herzegovina's outlets. High-wattage single-voltage appliances, like hair dryers, straighteners, or some CPAP machines, need a voltage converter, not just an adapter. Check the device label for its voltage rating before you travel.
Can I use my US phone charger in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Most modern phone and laptop chargers are rated for 100–240V, so they work on Bosnia and Herzegovina's 230V supply without a separate converter. You'll still need a plug adapter, since the charger's US plug won't physically fit Bosnia and Herzegovina's outlets.
Are Bosnia and Herzegovina and US power outlets interchangeable?
No. Bosnia and Herzegovina uses Type C and Type F outlets and the US uses Type A/B. The plug shapes are different, and Bosnia and Herzegovina runs at 230V compared to 120V in the US, so a plug adapter alone is only safe for devices that already support both voltages.
Does Bosnia and Herzegovina use more than one plug type?
Yes. Bosnia and Herzegovina uses two plug types: Type C, a two round-pin Europlug, and Type F, a grounded Schuko-style plug with two earthing clips. An adapter rated for Type F will also fit Type C sockets, so either one will work throughout the country.
