eSIM for Sweden
Covered by our Europe plan, from $10.00.
What the network is actually like
The south, where nearly everyone lives, is very well covered. Sweden is enormous and the far north is sparsely covered outside towns and main roads. Note that Sweden is close to cashless: many places won't take notes at all.
Networks: Telenor, Tre, Telia
How much data you'll need
5GB for a week in the south. The north is another matter. Get your maps down first, because the gaps between towns are long.
Where people go
Stockholm
Fourteen islands. The ferries count as public transport.
Gothenburg
West coast, seafood, and the archipelago on the doorstep.
Kiruna
Far north, for the aurora. The whole town is being physically moved.
What's on
