Just your passport! Please make sure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date. No vaccinations or special documents are currently required.
Question
Will my electronics such as iPhone chargers, laptop chargers, styling tools, etc work in Europe?
Answer
Most electronics and styling tools from the U.S. require a voltage converter or dual-voltage compatibility to work safely in Europe, where the standard is 220V. We recommend checking your device labels! If they say “100-240V,” you're good to go with just a plug adapter. For anything else (like some hair dryers or curling irons), consider bringing a dual-voltage version or buying one locally to avoid frying your tools.
