Are all adapters good for European travel?

It isn't just the voltage that's different in Europe. The wall outlets and sockets are also shaped differently, and can't accommodate American AC wall adapters or chargers without the right kind of adapter. For travel to Europe, you can find superior quality adapters for 110-to-220V at very reasonable prices.
