Planning a trip across Europe? Whether you're hopping between Paris, Rome, and Barcelona or doing a longer multi-country tour, staying connected shouldn't cost a fortune or require juggling multiple SIM cards. Here's how to get affordable data that works across the continent.
The Problem with Single-Country SIMs in Europe
Europe is uniquely tricky: you can cross three countries in a single day. Buy a local SIM in France, and it may not work well — or at all — once you're in Italy or Switzerland. For a multi-country trip, swapping SIMs at every border is a nightmare.
The Smart Solution: A Multi-Country Europe eSIM
A regional Europe eSIM covers dozens of countries on a single plan. Install it once before you leave, and it keeps working as you move from country to country — no swapping, no new purchases, no surprises at the border.
Our Europe plan covers 35 countries, including all the major destinations: France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Greece, Portugal, Austria, and many more. One eSIM, the whole trip.
How Much Data Do You Need?
A rough guide for a Europe trip:
- 3–5 GB — light use: maps, messaging, occasional browsing for about a week
- 10 GB — moderate use: daily maps, social media, some streaming for 2–3 weeks
- 20 GB — heavy use or longer trips: lots of streaming, uploads, hotspot use
💡 Tip: Many of our Europe plans run for 30 days — longer validity than a lot of competitors — so you're not rushed even on a slower-paced trip.
Single Country or Whole Region?
If your entire trip is in just one country (say, two weeks in Italy), a single-country eSIM is often cheaper and gives plenty of data. If you're visiting two or more countries, the regional Europe eSIM is the easier and smarter choice. We offer both — pick what fits your itinerary.
