Are there taxis or ride-hailing apps in Visby?

Ride-hailing apps like Bolt and Uber barely feature on Gotland. Visby's walled old town is car-free anyway, so most people walk or cycle. For longer island trips, book a local taxi by phone or hire a bike or car.

Will the same eSIM work back on the mainland?

Yes. This is one national Sweden plan, so the same eSIM works in Visby, on the ferry as it nears shore and right across the mainland in Stockholm or Gothenburg. One allowance covers the whole country.

Good to know in Visby

Most reach Visby by the Destination Gotland ferry from Nynäshamn or Oskarshamn — book on your phone, as summer sailings sell out. The old town is car-free, so hire a bike and rely on offline maps.

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.

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.

Visby eSIM: your local data guide.

Wrapped in a near-complete medieval wall, Visby invites slow wandering past crumbling church ruins, the Almedalen park and rose-covered alleys down to the harbour. A Visby eSIM keeps ferry and flight times to the mainland, restaurant bookings and event schedules for Medieval Week live, so exploring this UNESCO-listed Gotland town and cycling out along the coast stays effortless.

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

Peace of mind

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

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

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.

Visby eSIM questions, answered.

Coverage holds near the mainland and as you approach Visby, but mid-crossing on the Baltic the signal can drop for stretches. The three-hour ferry is a good time to download maps and event listings before you dock.
