Can I use it for Uffizi and Accademia bookings?

Absolutely. Both galleries run on timed entry, and you'll want reliable data to hold your reservation, show QR tickets at the door and read the artwork notes as you go. A small daily allowance covers a city break comfortably.

Does it cover day trips to Siena, Pisa and Chianti?

It does — this is one national Italy eSIM, so the same plan works across Tuscany and the whole country. Wine tours, hilltop towns and the road to Siena all stay mapped, no matter how far you roam from Florence.

Good to know in Florence

Many visitors fly into Pisa (PSA) and take the hourly train to Florence's Santa Maria Novella. Your Italy eSIM covers both cities and everywhere between, so live train times and platform changes stay on tap the whole way.

Two simple ways to buy

Florence eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

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

Florence eSIM: your local data guide.

Florence packs the Renaissance into a walkable few square miles, but timed entry to the Uffizi and the Accademia's David waits for no one. A Florence eSIM keeps your gallery bookings, live maps up to Piazzale Michelangelo and translations of every fresco caption flowing — plus the data to plan spur-of-the-moment day trips into the Chianti hills.

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

Landing at Florence Airport (FLR)?

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

Uffizi Gallery

Cross the river to find artisan workshops down side streets, with maps and booking apps for the quieter trattorias.

The practical bit

Getting around Florence on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Florence

itTaxi— Book Florence's official taxis by app, as street-hailing is rare here; needs data to summon one.
at bus (Autolinee Toscane)— Buy Florence bus tickets and check live departures; needs data to purchase and validate.
Google Maps— Walking navigation through the compact historic centre and up to Fiesole; needs data for live maps.
Moovit— Plan the T1/T2 tram to Peretola airport and outlying buses; needs data for real-time times.

How long to stay in Florence

Florence is compact, so two to three days typically covers the Uffizi, Duomo, Ponte Vecchio and Michelangelo's David, with room for a Chianti or Pisa day trip.

How much data for Florence

Because Florence is so walkable, light users may manage on around 1 GB, but 3 GB is safer once you add offline-map backup, restaurant bookings and uploading gallery photos across a few days.

Coverage in Florence

4G and 5G are reliable across Florence's historic centre, the tram to the airport and Santa Maria Novella station, though signal can weaken inside thick-walled museums and out in the surrounding Tuscan hills.

Peace of mind

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

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

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.

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.
