Denmark is located in Northern Europe and uses a unique type of three round pin, grounded adapter plug.  However, the non grounded, two round pin, adapter plug is used in many European countries.

Denmark Adapter Plug Kit has the adapters you will need for traveling to all parts of the stunning country of Denmark including Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense, Randers and Herning. The Deluxe kit ships priority mail with tracking. The Denmark adapter plugs allow you to plug your United States appliances and electronics into Denmark wall outlets.  

The two round pin, non grounded, Europe Adaptor plug allows US, North America, China, Australia and Mexico appliance plugs to be used in Continental Europe such as Denmark, France, Germany and Spain.  You will need a two round pin, Continental Europe grounded adapter plug if you are traveling to France, Germany or Spain with a grounded appliance.

Adapter plugs allow electrical connections up to 240 volts. An adapter plug does NOT change the current or voltage (this requires a converter) unless your appliance is dual voltage. Non-grounded adapters may NOT be used with appliances that have grounded plugs; for these you will need a grounded adapter.

Many of our customers find it handy to have multiple adaptors while traveling - either to run several appliances simultaneously or simply as a backup. If you think you will need additional adapters for your trip, you can also purchase individual adapters.

Grounded Adapter Plugs

If you are traveling with a grounded United States dual / multi-voltage appliance or using a grounded Transformer you will need to use a grounded adaptor plug. A grounded United States plug has two flat blades and one round pin.  Many laptops have grounded plugs and sometimes blow dryers.  

Non-Grounded Adapter Plugs

Going In Style offers non-grounded adapter plugs for use with your voltage converter, transformer, or dual / multi voltage appliance. A non-grounded United States plug has two flat blades.  Cell phone chargers, iPad chargers and curling irons usually have non grounded plugs.  Be sure to check all of your individual appliances before you travel to make sure you are bringing the correct adapter.

It is always good to have an extra adaptor on hand so you can charge two devices at once, or be charging your cell phone and curling your hair at the same time.

Cycles: 50 Hz vs. 60 Hz.

Denmark operates on 230 volt electricity and is generated at 50Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. United States 110-120 volt electricity is generated at 60Hz (Cycles) Alternating Current. This difference in cycles may cause the motor in your 60Hz United States appliance to operate slightly slower when used on 50Hz foreign electricity. Most modern electronic equipment including battery chargers, Lenovo, HP, Asus, Toshiba computers, iPods, etc., will not be affected by the difference in cycle.

Check your appliances before you travel to see if you need a converter to operate your curling iron.  Not using a converter can damage your curling iron or other non dual voltage appliance.

Computers and Apple Products

If you are traveling overseas with a Toshiba, HP, Lenovo, Asus, laptop or Apple device such as an iPad, chances are you won’t need a voltage converter. Most laptops are multi-voltage and will operate on voltages ranging from 100 to 240 volts. However, computers do need to make safe connections to foreign power systems and a surge protector is recommended and you will still need an adapter to use your plug.

About Denmark

Hej Danmark! Denmark is known for its delicious food, Danish pastries come to mind, and its charming fairy tale like towns which were once home to the famous writer Hans Christian Anderson.  

Geography

Denmark is located in Central Northern Europe, bordering the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, on a peninsula north of Germany (Jutland); also includes several major islands (Sjaelland, Fyn, and Bornholm) and its area twice the size of Massachusetts. Its climate is temperate; humid and overcast; mild, windy winters and cool summers. In these summer months there are many outdoor fairs and activities.  Winters can be a bit less hospital to tourists looking to see the country side, since the days are shorter and the weather is colder.  Spring can also be a great time to visit.  The weather is not quite as warm as it is in the summer, however there will be less crowds since it is not a busy tourist season and children will be in school during this time of year. The terrain is low and flat to gently rolling plains. Natural resources include fish, salt, limestone and chalk.

Currency

Currency in Denmark is the Danish Krone (DKK). Credit cards are generally accepted in major cities. Foreign money and travelers cheques can be exchanged at banks throughout Denmark. Travelers’ cheques are also accepted at some hotels and restaurants.

Staying Connected

Denmark has excellent telephone and telegraph service and multiple cellular mobile communications system. Cell phone coverage is outstanding. When travelling to Denmark you will want to take an international or unlocked cell phone with a prepaid Denmark SIM card. You can also contact your mobile service provider to set up an international calling plan. You will need an adapter to charge your phone. Most cell phone battery rechargers should be multi-voltage, therefore will not require a converter. If the charger says 100-240 volts, 50-60 cycles then your charger in multi-voltage.

Denmark has over 4.285 million internet hosts and over 4.75 million internet users. There is internet access in tourist hotels and internet cafes throughout the major cities. When traveling with your laptop or iPad you will need an adapter to charge your device.
