travel tips ► VOLTAGE REQUIREMENTS

The electrical current in Russia is 220 volts AC, 50Hz and electrical equipment uses 2 pronged, European, circular shaped sockets/plugs. Try not to bring so much electrical equipment with you but if you must bring a notebook computer, etc., check if it can take the 220 volts and also purchase a plug adapter to make sure that you can plug it into the differently-shaped, circular, European electrical outlets. It may also be worthwhile to pick up a transformer for 110 - 220 volts at a local hardware store in your own country before arriving.
