Is there coverage on the Milan metro?

Street-level and station coverage is strong, so the ATM app, mobile tickets and journey planner all work well. As with any underground, signal can drop mid-tunnel between stops, so load your route before you tap through the gates.

Can I use the same eSIM for Lake Como or Bergamo?

Yes — it's one national Italy plan, so day trips to Lake Como, Bergamo or across to Verona all run on the same eSIM. Buy data to match your Lombardy wandering, not just your time in Milan.

Milan eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

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

Plan your data

How much data do you need in Milan?

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

Milan eSIM: your local data guide.

Milan moves fast — a fashion capital where a booking for the Last Supper or a table in the Navigli at aperitivo hour can vanish in minutes. A Milan eSIM keeps ride-hailing, metro tickets, gallery reservations and translation on tap as you cross from the Duomo's rooftop to the boutiques of the Quadrilatero della Moda.

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

Landing at Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP)?

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

On the ground

Where you'll lean on data in Milan.

Duomo & Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II

Book rooftop terrace tickets, navigate the four metro lines that meet here and photograph the glass arcade in one go.

Santa Maria delle Grazie (The Last Supper)

Hold your hard-won timed booking on your phone and pull up directions to the often-overlooked church across town.

Navigli

Find the best aperitivo along the canals, book a waterside table and split the round with friends after sunset.

Brera & the Quadrilatero della Moda

Map the fashion district's boutiques and galleries, translate menus in art-lined cafes and call a car when the bags pile up.

The practical bit

Getting around Milan on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Milan

ATM Milano official app— Buy metro, tram and bus tickets and plan routes across ATM's network; needs data to purchase.
Citymapper— Milan is one of the few Italian cities it covers, with live multimodal routing; needs data.
Uber— Operates in Milan alongside licensed taxis; needs data to book and track your ride.
BikeMi— Unlock Milan's docked bike-share for short central hops; needs data to release a bike.

How long to stay in Milan

Two to three days suits Milan, covering the Duomo, the Last Supper, Navigli and shopping, with many travellers using the city as a base for Lake Como or Bergamo.

How much data for Milan

A balanced 3-5 GB fits most Milan trips built on metro apps, ride-hailing, maps and social posts, while business visitors tethering a laptop or streaming in hotels are far better served by Unlimited.

Coverage in Milan

Milan has some of Italy's best 5G, strong across the centre, Malpensa, Linate and the whole ATM metro, which now holds signal in most tunnels; it only really thins on the outer industrial fringes.

Peace of mind

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

Your Milan eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Milan, 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.
