Top Europe destinations and what to expect
France
Paris, the French Riviera, Provence and the Loire Valley. Fast 4G and 5G in cities and along the TGV routes. Perfect for Google Maps in Montmartre and booking museum tickets on the go.
Italy
Rome, Florence, Venice, the Amalfi Coast and the Dolomites. Strong coverage in cities and on the Frecciarossa trains. Download offline maps for mountain roads in the Dolomites.
Spain and the Canary Islands
Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, Ibiza, Tenerife and Gran Canaria, all on the same eSIM.
United Kingdom
London, Edinburgh and the Cotswolds. Many EU roaming deals no longer include the UK, but Europe Extra does. Need a UK number too? Add the UK Local eSIM with UK Number for unlimited calls and SMS.
Switzerland
Zurich, Lucerne, Interlaken and Zermatt. Switzerland is outside the EU, so home roaming is often expensive there. Europe Extra covers it.
Greece
Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and Crete. Coverage can drop on ferries between islands, so download tickets and maps before you sail.
Turkey
Istanbul, Cappadocia and Antalya. One of the few Europe eSIMs that includes Turkey. Great for a Europe trip that ends in Istanbul.
Nordics and Iceland
Copenhagen, Stockholm, the Norwegian fjords and Iceland's Ring Road. All included, with 4G across most main roads.
Which plan for your trip?
- Weekend in Paris, Rome or Barcelona: 3GB or 5GB for 30 days.
- Two weeks across London, Paris and Italy: Unlimited Essential, 15 days.
- Interrail or a month of backpacking: Unlimited Essential, 30 days.
- Remote work or sharing data with family: Unlimited Plus.
- Short, data-heavy trip: Premium Unlimited for 5, 10 or 15 days.
- Europe and the USA on one trip: the Europe + USA eSIM.
How much data do you need?
Maps, trains and messaging: about 100 to 250MB per day
Social media and photo sharing: about 200 to 500MB per day
One-hour video call: about 500MB to 1GB
Rule of thumb: most travelers use under 1GB per day, which is why Unlimited Essential fits most Europe trips.
