Adapter/converter needed for camera charger?

Hi everyone, I'll be in Portugal for two weeks next month and am really looking forward to it! I don't intend to bring any electronics except for my camera and charger. What I can't figure out is whether an adapter will be sufficient, or if I also need a converter.

My charger is from Canon and from other sites I understand it's a universal charger? The charger itself says input is 100-240V or 50-60HZ. I read that Portugal uses 200-240V. Does this mean an adapter will be enough?

Also, we'll be in Lisbon first but will eventually travel around. I'm planning to buy a cheap hair dryer once there; does anyone foresee any problems with that?

Thank you in advance for any advice!! I'm enjoying reading all of the forum posts and tips!
