Electricity and sockets
Yes – from the UK you need a travel adapter for Estonia, because the sockets there (Types C and F) will not take your plugs.
Sockets at the destination
Estonia runs on 230 V at 50 Hz, with sockets following Types C and F. 230 V means no voltage converter – only the plug shape matters.
Handy for multi-stop trips: Croatia, Portugal, Moldova and Albania use the same plug types. Nearby but different: Cyprus, the United Kingdom and Malta – an adapter for Estonia will not fit there. 31 of the 50 destinations in Europe share the plug types of Estonia.
Protective earth
Mixed supply: Type C without earth, Type F with earth. Which one is in your room only shows on arrival.
