Europe is the ultimate multi-country travel destination. A typical trip might take you from Paris to Amsterdam, then down to Barcelona, over to Rome, and up to Munich — all within a couple of weeks. The last thing you want is to buy a new SIM card every time you cross a border. This is exactly the problem a European eSIM solves, and it's why eSIM adoption among Europe-bound travellers has skyrocketed.
Hypr eSIM's Europe+ plan covers over 40 countries with a single installation, including all the top destinations: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Czech Republic, Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the Scandinavian countries. You install it once before your trip, and it works seamlessly as you move between countries — no reconfiguration, no new QR codes, no interruption to your service.
EU roaming regulations have made connectivity within Europe much better for Europeans, but international visitors from outside the EU don't benefit from these rules. Without an eSIM, you're stuck paying your home carrier's extortionate roaming rates — often $10-15 per megabyte — or buying local SIMs at every stop. An eSIM plan designed for Europe travel gives you a flat, predictable rate across every country on your itinerary.
Coverage quality across Europe is excellent. Western European countries like France, Germany, Spain, and Italy have near-universal 4G LTE coverage, including in rural and mountainous areas. Eastern European destinations like Croatia, Poland, Czech Republic, and Hungary have invested heavily in network infrastructure and offer speeds that rival their western neighbours. Even on Greek islands and Norwegian fjords, you'll find reliable coverage in populated areas.
For data usage, consider how you travel. If you're a city-hopper using Google Maps, ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt, and posting daily to Instagram, plan for 1-2 GB per day. For more moderate usage — occasional navigation, messaging, and email — 500 MB to 1 GB daily is usually sufficient. Hypr eSIM offers both fixed-data and daily-data plans, so you can choose the structure that fits your travel style.
A practical consideration for Europe: many trains, including high-speed services like the TGV, Eurostar, and ICE, pass through tunnels and rural corridors where Wi-Fi can be spotty. Having your own eSIM data means you're not dependent on unreliable train Wi-Fi for navigation, booking confirmations, or staying in touch. It's also invaluable for last-minute accommodation searches when plans change — which they always do in Europe.
Whether you're backpacking for three months or taking a ten-day highlights tour, a European eSIM is the single best investment for hassle-free connectivity. Set it up before you leave, forget about it, and focus on enjoying the Eiffel Tower, the Colosseum, and everything in between.
