Electricity

- DO bring an adaptor if you plan to use American appliances.
- The Czech Republic uses the 220V system common throughout Western Europe; plugs have two rounded prongs.
- You will need a voltage converter, or (if your appliance has a 120/220V switch) a plug adaptor to use your electrical appliances, PCs, etc. in the Czech Republic.
- The adaptors are available in hardware and travel stores throughout the US.
- Steve Kropla’s Help for World Traveler’s (www.kropla.com) has information on electrical and telephone plugs around the world.
- Walkabout Travel Gear (www.walkabouttravelgear.com) has good coverage about electricity under “adapters.”
