Travel adaptors ( this information to be used as a guide only)

  • To cover all six destinations, you need an adapter that supports two key plug styles:
  • Type C (Europlug): Used in Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Italy.

The single best budget solution available in Australia is a Universal All-in-One Travel Adapter with USB Ports.

The Best Single Adapter Option

Jackeroo / Jackson / Cygnett Universal All-in-One Travel Adapter (or any equivalent generic "4-in-1 World Travel Adapter" with slider pins)

  • Approximate Cost: $15 – $30 AUD (Available at JB Hi-Fi, Big W, Kmart, Woolworths, or Officeworks)
  • How it works: It features retractable sliding pins on the side. When traveling through mainland Europe (Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy), slide out the EU / Type C prongs. When landing in Qatar, switch to the UK / Type G 3-pin setup.
  • Bonus: Most models include 2 to 4 built-in USB-A and USB-C ports, allowing you to charge your phone, camera, and power bank simultaneously without needing multiple power bricks.
  • Type G (UK-style 3-pin plug): Used in Qatar.
