240 VAC, 50 Hz. Type D and G outlets, unfortunately (Kropla says "*Type D primarily used for 15A service, Type G primarily for 13A service"). A multi-converter plug is your best bet. I use one with two auxiliary USB outlets, myself, and it works anywhere in the world. As for your devices, most (not all, but most,) work on 100 - 240 VAC. You need a transformer if you have something that uses 100-110 VAC and has a motor, generally speaking.

My rule of thumb is Motor and/or Heating element.
