What the network is actually like

The Czech networks hold up across the country, and are best along the main rail corridors. Note the currency: the Czech Republic is in the EU but not the Eurozone, and paying in euros gets you a bad rate.

This eSIM: up to 3G, 4G, 5G, onO2, Vodafone. Each plan on the Czech Republic page says which of these it uses.

How much data you'll need

A week on 5GB for maps and messaging. Prague cafes nearly all have wifi, which is a useful place to put the streaming.

Recommended: 5GB → closest plan 5GB · 30 days, $4.76.
