Which airport is best for reaching Plitvice?

Plitvice sits roughly midway between Zadar Airport and Zagreb Airport, each around two hours by car or bus. The same national Croatia eSIM works at both airports and all the way to the park, so one plan covers the whole journey.

How much data will I use during a day at the park?

Very little inside the park itself, since you are mostly walking and offline. Most of your data goes on maps, tickets and photos near the entrances and on the drive in and out, so a modest allowance is usually plenty.

Good to know in Plitvice Lakes

Plitvice sells timed-entry tickets that must be booked online in advance, and phone signal genuinely fades on the lower boardwalks, so buy your ticket and download an offline map before you arrive at the entrance gate.
