How does our Italy eSIM work?

An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.

Will I pay roaming charges with an Italy eSIM?

No, you won’t pay any roaming charges if you’re using an Italy eSIM and have your device configured correctly.

Once it’s activated, your Italy eSIM will connect your device to a local network, which means you won’t get charged for roaming by your carrier back home.

Rest assured, there are no hidden charges when you’re using a prepaid eSIM. But in order to prevent any roaming charges, please make sure you have turned off the Data Roaming on your Primary SIM card.

Explore top Italy attractions

Italy includes some of the world’s finest works of art, as well as awe-inspiring architecture and beautiful natural landscapes.

Verona: Verona’s old-world charm can be discovered in this northern city’s architecture, the many cobblestone streets, along the Adige River, and by visiting Juliet’s balcony from Shakespeare’s famous play “Romeo and Juliet.”

Sistine Chapel: This is a must-see for any art-lover. Located in Vatican City, this chapel is known for the many incredible frescoes on the walls and ceiling completed by Michelangelo in the 1500s.

Leaning Tower of Pisa: One of the most extraordinary examples of medieval European architecture, this attraction brings millions of tourists to Pisa every year.

Popular foods to try in Italy

The fresh and seasonal foods of Italy are known around the world. Each region has its own flavor and style.

Lasagne: Fresh tomato sauce, meat, and lots of cheese make magic with layered homemade pasta, and the whole thing is baked to a crispy golden-brown. This dish is one of the most well-known Italian meals in the world.

Tiramisu: This coffee-flavored Italian dessert contains layers of creamy mascarpone cheese and softened lady fingers that absorb its rich taste.

Polenta: Typically served with a meat sauce and sliced cheese, this cornmeal-based dish can be garnished with gorgonzola or fried peppers, onions, and sausage.

Pizza: You can’t go all the way to Italy and not try a real Italian pizza. Authentic Italian pizza has an extremely thin crust, and it’s cooked quickly in a hot, wood-fired oven.

What’s the best time to visit Italy?

When’s the perfect time to visit Italy? Well, that depends. Think about the kind of weather you want to experience, and the top sights you want to see during your trip. You might want to consider off-season months for better pricing and hotel availability.

April and May: Many consider the spring the ideal time to visit Italy. It’s very pleasant in the countryside where spring blossoms appear and the vineyards open for tourists.

August, September, and October: These tend to be the busiest months to visit Italy, which also makes them the most expensive. However, the weather will be divine and the cities will be bustling with people and excitement.

November, December, and January: Wintertime is typically the least expensive season to visit Italy, due to cooler weather and the occasional snowfall (depending on what part of Italy you’re visiting). If you love to ski or snowboard, be sure to visit the Italian Alps.

What to pack for a vacation to Italy

Having the right gear and travel necessities will make your time in Italy much more enjoyable. So what should you pack? Well, here are a few of our top suggestions …

Cross-body bag: When you’re in a crowded place, this close-fitting type of purse helps keep your valuables safe, so it’s especially useful when visiting popular Italian landmarks.

Fashionable scarf: A stylish scarf or wrap is a terrific addition to any outfit, and it can also help shield you from the sun or warm you up if it’s chilly. Italy is incredibly tradition-conscious while also being quite stylish.

Stainless steel water bottle: Not only will using a stainless-steel water bottle save you money and reduce your usage of single-use plastic, it will also save time not having to stop and buy water from stores. Look for fountains in many Italian cities.
