Italy eSIMs.

For a Rome–Florence–Venice trip, choose validity that includes your arrival, departure and travel days. Think about walking directions, train updates and the guides you will use along the way. Download tickets and audio guides before heading out, and allow more data for video or photo backups. Check hotspot support if you plan to share with a tablet or laptop.

Combining Italy with France or Greece? Compare plans for each country with a regional option that lists all your stops. Include travel days when checking validity, even if you expect to be offline on a flight or ferry. For an Italy-only holiday, compare the price and allowance without paying extra just for wider coverage.
