From the moment your flight lands at Zagreb or Split airport, you'll want to coordinate transfers, check into your apartment, or find the nearest burek stand. An eSIM activates instantly, giving you a local data connection before you even collect your luggage.
While EU residents enjoy reduced roaming charges, visitors from the US, UK, or Australia can face exorbitant fees. A prepaid Croatia eSIM gives you transparent, local-rate pricing, so you can freely share photos of Plitvice Lakes' waterfalls without financial anxiety.
Our eSIM partners with leading Croatian networks like Hrvatski Telekom and A1 Croatia to ensure strong signals where you need them most.
While coverage is robust, signal may dip in the remote interior of islands like Mljet or deep within the Velebit mountain range. Always download offline Google Maps for the Dalmatian Coast before venturing off-grid.
Expect fast 4G LTE speeds perfect for video calls from your Split Airbnb, streaming a guide to Diocletian's Palace, or uploading sunset shots from Rovinj. 5G is expanding in Zagreb and other major cities, offering ultra-fast connectivity for digital nomads.
Match your data allowance to your itinerary, from a Zagreb city break to a month-long coastal road trip.
A 1-3 GB plan is ideal for a weekend in the capital or a short business trip. This covers essential navigation, messaging, and light social media use while exploring landmarks like St. Mark's Church or the Museum of Broken Relationships.
For a week splitting time between historic cities and islands, a 5-10 GB plan offers peace of mind. This supports daily Google Maps usage, regular photo sharing, and using apps like Jadrolinija for ferry bookings and Bolero for restaurant reviews.
Digital nomads basing themselves in Zagreb or Split should consider 15 GB+ plans. This accommodates video conferences, large file transfers, and evening streaming, all while enjoying the Mediterranean lifestyle.
