With over 160 cultures and thousands of years of history squeezed into one continent, Europe offers enough experiences to last a lifetime. You could easily spend a weekend, a season, or even years exploring its cities and countries.
The key to staying connected when you travel is using an Airalo eSIM. Whether you're off on a weekend trip to Paris, a month-long visit to Spain, or a three-month adventure around the European continent, there's an eSIM for your trip.
Here's a closer look at our top five European eSIMs for travelers.
What is an eSIM?
First, a quick refresher on eSIM technology. An eSIM is an embedded SIM card. It's a reprogrammable chip built into your device. Like a physical SIM, it identifies you as a mobile subscriber and connects you to a carrier's network. But it works 100% digitally.
If your phone is carrier-unlocked and eSIM-compatible, you can use an eSIM to stay connected on your European adventure. Here's how:
- Download the Airalo app (iOS | Android) or visit the Airalo website
- Find an eSIM for your destination
- Install it onto your device
- Connect to a mobile network when you arrive
What Is an Airalo eSIM Plan?
An eSIM plan from Airalo allows you to connect to a local network in your destination. There's no need to swap out a physical SIM card, keep track of multiple SIMs, or worry about high roaming fees. Instead, you can get online quickly and easily in 200+ countries and regions worldwide.
Each Airalo eSIM package includes data (e.g., 1GB, 3GB, 5GB, etc.) that you can use for a specified time (e.g., 7 days, 15 days, 30 days, etc.). If you run low, don't worry — many Airalo eSIMs have a top-up option, so you can add more!
