Hi everyone,
I’m planning a trip to Italy soon (Rome, Florence, maybe some smaller towns), and trying to figure out the best way to stay connected.
I used to just grab a local SIM at the airport, but honestly it’s always a bit of a hassle - queues, ID checks, setup, etc. So now I’m looking into eSIM options instead.
From what I’ve seen, there are quite a few providers like Nomad, Holafly, Skyalo and others, but it’s hard to tell what actually works best in Italy specifically.
My priorities are pretty simple:
- stable connection (maps, ride apps, bookings)
- decent speed in cities
- works right after landing
- reasonable price for 5–10 GB
I don’t need unlimited data, just something reliable without surprises.
Has anyone used eSIM in Italy recently (2025–2026)?
Which provider did you go with and how was the experience?
I’ve heard that most of them use the same local networks anyway, so I’m guessing the difference is more about pricing and ease of use?
Would really appreciate any real feedback before I choose 🙌
