These days, airlines want ticket agents to scan passengers' smart phones rather than issuing a boarding pass, and hotels want guests to download their apps for a keyless check-in. The world's great museums have mobile apps to guide visitors through their collections. Few international travelers can manage without a smart phone, which means having a charger and adapter handy when you head to Europe. Essential phone chargers and small electrical appliances made for use in America require electrical adapters to function in Europe. Pack a Universal Adapter
You'll need an adapter to pair appliance plugs with the wall socket. Several countries in Europe have their own variation on the shape of electrical wall sockets and appliance plugs, and they're all different than the U.S. standard. When traveling to more than one European country, an all-in-one universal adapter that comes with a variety of two- and three-prong shapes will come in handy. Some of these also have USB charging ports. Take more than one adapter, especially if you'll be sharing accommodations or using multiple devices, as each adapter can handle only one appliance at a time. Plug Shapes and Sizes in Europe
