La Dolce Vita! Life really is beautiful in Italy. Mouthwatering pizzas and pasta, spectacular architecture that seems almost otherworldly, kindhearted people, and a rich cultural heritage that is impossible to discover just within one trip. Italy has long been one of the most popular travel destinations in the world. Each year it is visited by millions of people, who โ once they get a bite of the country โ keep coming back for more.
We've handpicked our favorite eSIM plans for your next trip to the land of Paolo Conte.
Generally, you can find eSIM plans for a good price (in terms of $/GB) in Italy compared to other countries.
To find your best plan, you must determine what your priorities are. Do you need plenty of data? Do you need a package that lasts more than a week? Do you need a phone number ? Perhaps you don't plan to spend much time online and need access to the internet just in case of an emergency. Perhaps you are already using 2GB of mobile data a day and will need something more robust ? Let us help you out.
If you're planning to spend only a few days to Italy (roughly a week) and do not consider yourself a heavy data user (you can check your data consumption in your phone to estimate how much you need / day), those eSIM data plans by BNESIM and Nomad are great options.
With their 3GB Italy plan, valid 14 days after activation, the Israel based provider Simtex is a great option that will suit most light data user's needs for $8.

Those who don't need as much data will be satisfied by Nomad's plan 'Nomad - Italy - 30 days - 1 GB'. As you can guess by the title, this package offers 1 GB of data for 30 days. The price is really attractive โ just $5 ($4 after using our discount).

With mid-term stays, Our best pick for Italy is 'Italy 10GB 30 days', provided by Airhub. Within this package, you will get 10 GB that can be used within 30 days. A great perk of this package is the fact it operates on the Iliad Italia network, which means you'll have a good connection. The price is great too โ just $18,67. Careful, it auto-renews every month : but you can cancel anytime.

If you plan on working a bit during your Italian adventure (doing some or doing data-intensive activities, it is worth to consider 'Italy 20 GB' โ a plan by Nomad. You will have to pay more ($33 with our voucher ESIMSIO), but you will get 10 GB extra (so 20 GB in total). You have 30 days to activate this eSIM, so it is great for longer trips.

As speculations go - some say the iPhone 15 will be eSIM only and ditch the Physical SIM tray forever : is that realistic ?
