Best eSIM for Europe

• Widest coverage: Airalo Eurolink — 41 countries, including Turkey, Ukraine, Georgia and Serbia, for $31

• Built-in security on patchy hotel Wi-Fi: Saily — NordVPN’s ad blocker and threat protection are on by default

Coverage notes

Thanks to EU roam-like-at-home rules, almost any eSIM you buy with EU coverage will work seamlessly across the bloc. Speeds depend on the partner carrier per country but are uniformly good in metro areas.

Practical tips

• A single regional plan beats buying country-by-country for any trip touching 2+ countries.
• Most eSIMs are data-only. Use WhatsApp/iMessage/Signal for calls.
• Watch out for non-EU stops (UK, Switzerland, Norway) — verify your plan explicitly lists them.
