Best travel fan for Italy

[luv2gonow]

Hi,

I wanted to bring a small fan with me on my land/sea tour.

I will be in Venice, Florence and Rome by land.

 

I would imagine a fan would need a converter and adaptor.

 

Wondering if I should get battery fan with rechargeable batteries?

Does recharging batteries need a converter?

 

I see that charging iphone seems to only need adaptor.

Would it be easier to just buy fan in Venice? Are they readily available. My hotel is near St. Marks square I believe.

Thanks

You can probably find one that is dual power, like my hair dryer and hot rollers are. Check on amazon. Then all you'll need is an adapter. I wouldn't spend my precious time wandering around looking for a place to buy a fan. Otoh how are you planning to transport it??

Hi, I have a small personal fan that I always take with me, bought at target, it plugs into a USB charger, I've used it in Italy, France, & the UK with no problems, you don't need a converter, just an adaptor for your USB plug.

 

When I travel with DH, I can plug it directly into his laptop when he is charging.

 

I bought a European USB charger/plug off of amazon, so now I don't even need to worry about the adaptor.

 

The fan is in the lower left hand corner of this pic:

I am looking for a portable fan as well but not USB. Just a small battery operated or plug in fan. I suffer from severe hot flashes and want to be ready for summer travels.

Any suggestions?
