Pay by the gigabyte

Airalo Eurolink fixed-data plans

Longer validity matters for slow travel. Eurolink's larger plans last 90 or 180 days, which suits a season in Europe on mostly Wi-Fi.

Check every country on your route. "Europe" means different things to each provider. Airalo's Eurolink list includes Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey and Ukraine. Holafly's page doesn't list its 33 countries in the summary we checked, so look at the country list on its plan page before buying.

Questions

Common questions

Does one eSIM work in every European country?

Only in the countries on that plan's list. Airalo Eurolink listed 41 countries and Holafly's Europe plan said 33 when we checked. Countries outside the EU are where the lists differ most.

What's the cheapest way to stay connected in Europe for three months?

If you use Wi-Fi most of the time, a long-validity fixed plan. On Nov 7, 2026, Airalo's Eurolink 50 GB plan for 90 days was $100.00. Unlimited plans for 30 days were $71.00 (Airalo) and $76.50 (Holafly), so three months would cost roughly three times that.
