Description

The Europe regional plan covers 36 countries from the UK and Ireland across to Turkey, including every EU member state, most of the Balkans and the Nordics, and the Canary Islands. A Blikst Europe eSIM runs on a rotating set of national carriers — Vodafone, Orange, Tele2, O2, Telia, Three, Telemach, Proximus, NOS, Salt, Avea, Turkcell, and others — at 3G / 4G / 5G speeds depending on the country. It's the right profile for any multi-country European trip: Eurostar through Paris-Brussels-Amsterdam, a Rome-to-Lisbon rail loop, or the classic Scandinavian Nordkapp run.

Coverage across the continent

Western Europe — France, Germany, Benelux, Italy, Spain, Portugal, UK, Ireland — has blanket 4G / 5G in cities and along all major autobahns, autopistas, and autoroutes. Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Iceland) have strong urban coverage and good highway coverage, with the usual thinning in Lapland and the Norwegian fjords north of Tromsø. Southern Europe (Greek islands, Croatian Dalmatian coast, Maltese archipelago) has solid 4G at settlements and drops between islands on ferry crossings. Eastern EU (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) has improved dramatically and now matches Western EU on main routes. Turkey is included and has excellent coverage in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, and the Mediterranean coast; eastern provinces are thinner.

Border behaviour inside the plan

The eSIM hands off between national carriers automatically as you cross borders. Schengen is transparent — you won't even notice most border crossings now — and the profile re-registers on the new country's partner network within minutes of the handoff. Train travellers on Eurostar, Thalys, ICE, Frecciarossa, and the Caledonian Sleeper will see the network name change as you cross. Ferry crossings (Dover-Calais, Barcelona-Mallorca, Piraeus-Santorini, Helsinki-Tallinn) reconnect as the ferry nears port; the eSIM spends most of the sea crossing looking for a tower.

What's NOT covered

Several European countries sit outside the EU's primary roaming frameworks and are not in this plan: Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine, and the South Caucasus states (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan). Russia, Kosovo, and North Macedonia have variable inclusion depending on plan. Check the coverage list before departure if your route touches the Western Balkans or the post-Soviet states. For those destinations, country-specific Blikst plans apply.

Cost vs. country-by-country plans or roaming

EU-resident travellers already have Roam Like at Home inside the EU, which is hard to beat for an EU-only trip. This regional plan shines for non-EU travellers — UK-based after Brexit, US, Canadian, Australian, Asian — where home-carrier EU roaming runs $8–$12 per day and a six-country trip would cost the equivalent of a decent hotel night just in phone bills. It also shines for itineraries that cross into Turkey, Iceland, or the Balkans (where the plan applies) beyond EU-only coverage.

Arrival across the European hubs

Install the profile on home Wi-Fi before you fly. The eSIM attaches on arrival at any major European airport — LHR, CDG, AMS, FRA, MAD, BCN, FCO, MXP, ATH, VIE, ZRH, CPH, ARN, HEL, IST, and smaller regionals — on whichever national carrier is the plan's partner in that country.

Local apps that travel well across Europe

• Google Maps and Citymapper: Both work across the continent. Citymapper is strongest in London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, and Amsterdam for multi-modal routing.
• Bolt, FreeNow, Uber: Ride-hailing mix varies by country. Bolt is widespread in Eastern and Nordic Europe; FreeNow dominates German-speaking countries; Uber is strong in UK, France, Spain, and Portugal.
• Trainline, Omio, DB Navigator, SNCF Connect, Trenitalia, Renfe: Rail booking apps. Trainline and Omio aggregate; the national apps often offer discounts the aggregators don't.
• Revolut, Wise, Apple Pay, Google Pay: Contactless is universal in most of Europe. Cash matters most in Austria, Germany, and parts of Italy.
• EasyPark and PayByPhone: Street parking apps used across many European cities.

Plan sizing by trip length

A one-week two-country trip works on 5 GB. A two-week multi-country itinerary (say, Paris-Amsterdam-Berlin-Prague-Vienna) wants 10 GB. Three-week grand tours covering 6+ countries fit 20 GB. Interrail passengers on a month-long European summer typically end up on 50 GB.

Install at home, fly to any European hub, and the profile attaches on arrival to whichever local carrier is the plan's partner.
