Cape Verde Travel Adapters

Type C and Type F • 230 volts • 50 Hz

Cape Verde, officially Cabo Verde, is an island nation in the Atlantic Ocean located west of Senegal off the coast of West Africa. The country consists of ten volcanic islands divided into the windward (Barlavento) and leeward (Sotavento) island groups. The capital city is Praia on the island of Santiago. Cape Verde is known for its rugged volcanic landscapes, beaches, and a rich cultural heritage influenced by both African and Portuguese traditions.

Cape Verde uses mains electricity supplied at about 230 volts at 50 Hz. Wall outlets use Type C and Type F sockets. Travelers from regions that use different plug types should bring a compatible travel adapter. Visitors should confirm that their electronic devices support 100–240V input or use an appropriate voltage converter if necessary.

Plug types are listed because they are encountered in at least some installations. Presence may be partial, legacy, mixed, or situational. A travel adapter, also spelled travel adaptor, changes plug fit only; a voltage converter, sometimes searched as a voltage convertor, is needed only for devices that are not dual voltage. No plug type is excluded due to limited or declining use. Type F adapters are also known as Schuko style.
