Is there coverage on the Pöstlingbergbahn and by the Danube?

Yes. Linz has strong 4G and 5G across the centre, along the Danube and up the Pöstlingberg, so the steep tram ride, museum apps and streaming all work well. Signal only dips a little inside the Grottenbahn tunnels.

Can I use the same eSIM for a Danube cruise or trip to Hallstatt?

Yes. It's a single national Austria plan, so the same data works on a Wachau Danube cruise, a day out to Hallstatt or a trip to the Mauthausen memorial. One allowance covers the whole country, not just Linz.

Good to know in Linz

Linz sits on the main Vienna–Salzburg rail line and trains run far more often than flights into its small airport, so many visitors arrive by ÖBB: keep your eSIM active to buy tickets and catch live platform changes.

Two simple ways to buy

Linz eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Linz eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Linz — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

Linz eSIM: your local data guide.

Linz has reinvented itself as Austria's city of media art, so a visit swings from the glowing Ars Electronica Center on the Danube to the Lentos museum and the steep Pöstlingbergbahn tram up to the basilica. A Linz eSIM keeps maps, exhibition bookings and river-cruise times live as you cross the Nibelungen Bridge and explore the Hauptplatz.

One eSIM for Linz and all of Austria. It's the national Austria eSIM — from $2.15/day with unlimited data, working the same in Linz as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Linz Airport (LNZ)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

How much data for Linz

For a short Linz visit, 1-3 GB comfortably covers maps, museum bookings, tram tickets and social posts; choose a larger plan if you'll stream, work remotely or hotspot along a longer Danube trip.

Coverage in Linz

A1, Magenta and Drei cover Linz with strong 4G and 5G across the centre, the Danube waterfront and the Pöstlingberg; coverage stays reliable in the city and only thins in the rural hills beyond the suburbs.

Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.

Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
