Italy eSIM plans at a glance
Wanderly lists 61 fixed-data Italy plans, ranging from 1GB up to 100GB over 7 to 365 days. Prices start at $1.99, and the lowest cost per gigabyte is $0.47/GB on the 50GB 30-day plan.
Unlimited day-passes are also available from $1.99 per day, billed per day rather than per gigabyte. All 85 Italy plans can be topped up without reinstalling the eSIM.
Every plan is data-only and installs from a QR code, so your home number stays active on its own line. Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Italy, not at purchase, which means you can install before you fly.
🇮🇹 About eSIMs in Italy
Italy has excellent 4G coverage across the country and expanding 5G in Rome, Milan, Florence and Naples. Wanderly Italy eSIM plans use TIM or Vodafone — the two carriers with the widest reach through Tuscany, Puglia, Sicily and the Amalfi Coast. You should expect strong signal along the entire Rome–Florence–Venice high-speed rail corridor and in every hill town.
Travelers here lean on Google Maps for the labyrinthine centro storicos, WhatsApp for agriturismo hosts, and Trenitalia's app for train tickets. 10–12 GB covers a week comfortably; two-week travelers with Tuscany driving or a Sicily leg usually want 15–20 GB. If your itinerary also touches France, Switzerland or Croatia, a Europe regional plan is often the better value.
Airport SIMs at FCO and MXP work fine but are marked up. Install the eSIM before you fly and land connected.
