Electricity

In Mexico City, the standard voltage is 127 volts at 60 Hertz, and you’ll find power plugs and sockets of type A and type B, similar to those used in the United States. 

  • Do you need a travel adapter?

If you’re traveling from a country with a different plug type (like Europe), you’ll likely need a travel adapter to use your devices in Mexico City. 

  • Do you need a voltage converter?

Most modern devices, like phones and laptops, are dual voltage, meaning they can handle a range of voltages, including 127V. However, if you’re bringing older or high-voltage appliances, you may need a voltage converter.
