Adapters for Denmark

in Scandinavia

I'm seeing conflicting information on what type of adapter is needed for Denmark. For most of Scandinavia, the Type C is used. When looking up Denmark specifically, it is saying a Type K (with a 3rd plug for grounding). I have the Type C, wondering if I need to get a Type K as well. Also looked for the multi-type adapters, but they don't have the Type K included. Anyone who has been in Denmark have any problems just using the 2 prong plug adapter (Type C)?

    I am from Denmark. The standard there is type K (three prongs) and is usually needed for larger appliances like a laptop. Many outlets, if not all, will accept Type C, however. Voltage is 230; frequency is 50 Hz.

    Unless you have a large appliance needing grounding, Type C will be sufficient.

    We did the Scandinavia land tour last summer and in all 3 countries I used the same European adapter type C (2 round prongs) to charge any dual voltage electronics we had with us. No issues.
