Liechtenstein is a tiny principality between Switzerland and Austria, and most travellers come for a day or two on the way from Zurich, St. Gallen or Vorarlberg. Because distances are so short, it helps to have internet working straight away: buses, maps, weather forecasts and train tickets to the border are needed even before you cross. An eSIM is installed at home in advance, so on arrival you only switch data on.
This page is the quickest way to buy a travel eSIM for Liechtenstein from 3 500 ₸. Pick a plan, pay online and install the digital SIM card at home before the flight — no passport and no queue at an airport kiosk.
The eSIM connects to local mobile networks, so you have data wherever they have coverage — Vaduz and the rest of the country.
Compared with roaming in Liechtenstein, an eSIM is usually much cheaper for mobile data: the price of the package is fixed and known in advance. Your home number stays active on the main SIM for calls and SMS.
If your phone does not support eSIM, you can buy a regular physical SIM card with data for Liechtenstein at a Funsim point of sale: at Almaty and Shymkent airports, or at our offices in Almaty — 130/1 Abay St and 1 Pozharsky St. Handy if you remember about the internet right before departure.
You can cross Liechtenstein in an hour, so a trip here is almost always part of a wider route: Zurich and Lake Constance, St. Gallen, Vorarlberg, the Alps. You do not need separate internet in each country, you just need a plan that fits your route. Liechtenstein is a small country, so plans for it may be listed separately or included in regional and European plans, so check the plan page and the list of covered countries.
You keep your main SIM in the phone for calls and bank SMS, while mobile data goes through the eSIM. Most plans have no voice calls or SMS, so messengers are the easiest way to reach a hotel, a driver or a guide. Near the borders your phone may switch between the networks of neighbouring countries, and an eSIM saves you from swapping cards along the route.

The country is small, and in the Rhine valley coverage is usually dense, while in the mountains it is less predictable. These are the places and stretches of a route where you will use the internet most.
The capital has a pedestrian centre, museums and a view of the castle on the slope where the princely family lives, which is not open to visitors. It is easy to get around on foot, and you need the internet for the map, museum opening hours, a table booking and bus timetables. The tourist office can give you a souvenir stamp in your passport, but check its opening hours in advance.
Schaan is a major transport hub on the railway line between Switzerland and Austria, where many people change to a bus. You need the internet to check the timetable, buy a ticket for the right stretch and avoid mixing up the platform. If you arrive by train, save your ticket on the phone beforehand and check which way your bus runs.
A village on a slope above the valley with a view of the Rhine and the Swiss mountains, usually reached by bus or car. The road climbs in switchbacks, and signal is generally stable but can weaken briefly on some bends. The internet helps with the map, photo backup to the cloud, a cafe booking and checking the weather before a walk.
Malbun is a ski resort in an Alpine valley at the end of the road. In winter people ski here, in summer they hike, and you need the internet for the weather forecast, lift and bus timetables and booking a room. Steg is near the tunnel at the entrance to the mountain part. On routes above the valley the signal can disappear, so download an offline map.
A walking route that crosses the whole country, with mountain stretches and descents into the valley. It is easy to walk in sections and come back by bus. You need the internet for navigation and transport timetables, and in the mountains the signal drops out. Before setting out, download the track, check the weather and tell your hotel or someone at home your route.
A flat path along the river, good for cycling and for crossing between Switzerland and Liechtenstein. It is open ground and the signal is usually steady. You need the internet for the map, the weather and bike hire, and the border is often crossed without noticing, so check that the eSIM is still the line selected for mobile data.
The southern municipality of the country, with a small fortress on a hill that is easy to see from the valley. The castle is open only in a limited way, so check opening hours and visiting terms in advance. The internet helps with the map, bus timetables and checking whether the grounds are open on the day of your trip, so you do not climb up for nothing.
Most people reach Liechtenstein by train or bus from Switzerland, changing at the nearest station, or from Austria. On the way you need the internet for tickets, connections and checking delays. In border areas the phone may pick up networks of neighbouring countries, so check that the eSIM line is the one active for mobile data.
Most familiar services work as at home, and a few apps are especially handy for a route through Liechtenstein.
Shows walking routes, buses and timetables, and opening hours of places. Before mountain walks, download an offline map of the region, since signal can drop in the valleys.
The Swiss railways app for timetables and tickets. Useful if you reach Liechtenstein through Switzerland. Check which stretches and tickets are available in the app, and save your ticket in advance.
The Swiss weather service's app with forecasts for the Alps and the Rhine valley. Useful before a hike or a trip to the ski resort, because mountain weather changes quickly.
Routes for walks and bike rides with a map and tracks. Suitable for the trail and the path along the Rhine. Download the routes you need in advance so you can use them without signal.
Useful for German signs, timetables and menus. Download German for offline use and translate text with the camera on the spot.
A convenient way to reach a hotel, a driver and a guide. Since most plans have no voice calls, calling through a messenger is the easiest option.
Make sure your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. You can check this in the settings or on the manufacturer's website.
Choose a plan on the page: a separate one for Liechtenstein or a regional one that covers your route, and pay by card, no passport is needed. Check the plan's list of countries.
Install the eSIM at home by QR code, the Quick install button or manually while you still have Wi-Fi. That way you will not need to look for internet at the airport.
After landing in Zurich or another airport, choose the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming on for that line.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and bank SMS, but turn off mobile data on it so traffic does not go through roaming.
If the package runs out, buy extra data on the site. You can use the hotspot for a laptop on plans that allow it, check the plan page for the terms.
Before heading into the mountains, download offline maps and tracks, check the weather and save your tickets and accommodation address on the phone: signal can disappear on routes above the valley.
