You probably already know, but in case you don’t, bring adapters for your phone charger and whatever else because their outlets are different. Their grid is 50Hz instead of 60Hz in the US.
Many modern devices can “float” between 110-220v as well as 50 and 60Hz.
In practice, it means you don’t need older style, larger adapters which actually change the voltage and frequency for you. You can just use the cheaper adapters which only change the plug.
To be sure, just read the little print by the power area on whatever device(s) you’re bringing. The ranges will be listed.
This has been my experience. I use any random adapter I find in Walmart or Amazon for cheap and they last forever, and my phone charger is setup like you say so it’s fine in Germany, Ireland, UK, etc.
Going to the UK in the fall, first time going to Europe, I’m pretty excited.
