Is Zagreb a good base for day trips on the same eSIM?

Very much so. As a single national Croatia plan, the same eSIM covers day trips to Plitvice Lakes, the Zagorje castles and Samobor, and keeps working if you continue down to the coast. One allowance covers the whole country.

Does the eSIM work well on the trams and around the centre?

Yes. Zagreb has dense 4G and 5G across the tram network, Ban Jelačić Square and the Lower Town, so ticketing, maps and streaming run smoothly. Coverage only really thins in a few older building basements and outer suburbs.

Good to know in Zagreb

Zagreb runs on its blue ZET trams, and buying tickets is easiest in the ZET app or from a kiosk rather than paying the higher on-board fare, so set that up on your data before your first ride.

Two simple ways to buy

Zagreb eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Zagreb eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Zagreb — 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

3GB10GB20GB

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.

How much data do you need in Zagreb?

A rough, honest guide to sizing your Zagreb eSIM so you're not guessing. Most travellers in Zagreb are comfortable on 3–5 GB a week — heavy streamers just go Unlimited.

Zagreb eSIM: your local data guide.

Riding the world's shortest funicular to the Upper Town, buying peaches at Dolac and tram-hopping the Lower Town all go smoother online. A Zagreb eSIM keeps trams, Bolt rides and maps live from touchdown, whether you are café-crawling Tkalčićeva, ticking off quirky museums like the Museum of Broken Relationships or strolling leafy Maksimir Park.

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

Landing at Franjo Tuđman Airport (ZAG)?

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

Zagreb suits a two-day city break, enough for the Upper and Lower Towns, a few quirky museums and a market morning, often paired with a Plitvice day trip.

How much data for Zagreb

A light-to-balanced 1-3 GB usually covers tram tickets, maps, café reviews and social posts across a couple of days in Zagreb; step up to 5 GB or Unlimited if you will stream or hotspot a laptop.

Coverage in Zagreb

Hrvatski Telekom, A1 and Telemach blanket central Zagreb with strong 4G and 5G across the squares, tram lines and parks; signal only dips slightly in a few older cellars, underpasses and the far outer suburbs.

Peace of mind

Your Zagreb eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.

Your Zagreb eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Zagreb, no swapping your real SIM out.

Keep your number & WhatsApp

The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.

No roaming bills, ever

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.

One thing worth knowing

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.
