Buy eSIM data plans for Croatia

A Croatia eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.

A Croatia eSIM is a data-only plan that loads onto your phone before you fly, so you connect the instant you arrive. Land at Zagreb's Franjo Tuđman Airport, walk past the SIM kiosks, and you're already online on local networks. Your plan rides on Croatia's mobile carriers, Tele2 (5G) and VIPnet (5G), giving you fast data the moment you reach the terminal. Skip the roaming charges your home provider would tack on. Pull up maps to the city, message family that you've touched down, and call a ride before your luggage even reaches the carousel.

How eSIM works in Croatia

Choose a data plan for Croatia, install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before your trip, and follow the selected plan’s activation instructions. Your regular SIM can stay in your phone, while the eSIM gives you mobile data for travel apps, messaging, maps and browsing.

  1. Buy a plan

    Pick a destination, data allowance and validity period.

  2. Install your eSIM

    Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.

  3. Land & connect

    Data activates on first connection at your destination.

What you can do with 5 GB

In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Zagreb

A Zagreb eSIM keeps you oriented as you climb between the Upper Town (Gornji Grad) and the streets below. Use mobile data to find your way to Ban Jelačić Square, read up on the cathedral before you step inside, and stay connected as you wander. With data on from arrival, you can check tram times and message friends without hunting for café Wi-Fi.

Frequently asked questions

Which mobile networks does the Croatia eSIM use?

Your Croatia eSIM connects to local carriers Tele2 (5G) and VIPnet (5G). Where 5G is available your phone uses it automatically, and it falls back to fast 4G elsewhere, so you get strong data across city centres and good coverage along the coast.

Will I have coverage on the islands and ferry routes?

Coverage is strong in island towns and around harbours, so checking ferry times and messaging works well. Out on open water along the Adriatic, between ports like the routes to Hvar, Brač or Korčula, signal can come and go, so it's smart to download anything you need before you sail.

How is the signal in the national parks?

In and around towns you'll have reliable data, but Croatia's national parks like Plitvice and Krka have deep canyons and remote stretches where signal is variable. Save your offline maps and any tickets or directions before you go, then reconnect once you're back near a town.

I'm doing a wider Balkan or EU trip, is this the right plan?

This is a Croatia-only plan, ideal if your whole trip stays inside the country. If you're crossing into neighbouring Balkan countries or touring several EU stops, a regional eSIM that covers multiple countries will serve you better than a single-country plan.

When should I set up the eSIM before landing in Zagreb?

Install it at home while you still have Wi-Fi, ideally the day before you travel. That way it's ready to switch on the moment you land at Zagreb's Franjo Tuđman Airport, and you avoid setting things up on airport Wi-Fi after a long flight.

Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Croatia?

Yes. The eSIM is data-only, so your usual number stays active for calls and texts over your home line while the eSIM handles internet in Croatia. You can also share that data as a personal hotspot to a laptop or tablet, handy for a quiet evening in coastal towns.
