Lithuania is often known for Vilnius, but a trip around the country is wider: the interwar capital Kaunas, the port of Klaipeda, the resort of Palanga, the lakes of Aukstaitija and the Hill of Crosses. Between towns you can travel by train, bus or rental car, and at almost every stage you need a map, a timetable, a taxi and an accommodation booking. 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 Lithuania 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 — Vilnius and the rest of the country.
Compared with roaming in Lithuania, 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 Lithuania 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.
Routes around Lithuania usually combine several towns and nature stops: Kaunas, the coast, the lakes, pilgrimage sites. Distances are short, but there are many roads and timetables, and you need the internet constantly. One profile for the whole country saves you from hunting for phone shops and swapping cards on the way. See the plans above for data amounts.
You keep your main SIM in the phone for calls and bank SMS, while internet goes through the eSIM. Most plans have no voice calls or SMS, so messengers are the easiest way to reach hosts, guides and taxi drivers. If you carry on through the Baltics after Lithuania, look at the regional plans and compare the terms on the page.

Coverage is dense in the cities and along the main roads, and can be weaker in forests and national parks. These are the places and stretches of a route where you will use the internet most.
The airport is very close to the centre, and there is a railway station nearby, so many people reach the city without a taxi. You need internet right after landing: to check train and bus timetables, call a car, message your host. If you arrive at night, agree on check-in in a messenger beforehand.
The country's second-largest city lies at the confluence of the Neris and Nemunas rivers. It has the pedestrian Laisves Aleja, funiculars up the Zaliakalnis and Aleksotas hills and the Pazaislis monastery. You need internet for the map, museum tickets, opening hours and taxis, especially if you come for a day and want to see a lot.
A port city in the west with an old town and narrow streets by the Dane river. Ferries cross the strait from here, and signal on the water may be less stable than in town. The internet helps with ferry timetables, taxis, table bookings and checking the weather, which changes quickly on the coast.
The country's main beach resort, with a wide sandy shore, a pier and Jonas Basanavicius Street. In July and August it is crowded and Wi-Fi in cafes and hotels can be overloaded, so your own mobile data is more reliable. It helps with taxis, event tickets, bookings and an online map if you are looking for quiet stretches of beach.
A well-known pilgrimage site in the north, where thousands of crosses stand on a small hill. People usually come by car or on a tour, and there are no big towns nearby. You need internet for the map and for contacting your driver, and if you wait for a bus it helps to have the return timetable, which is best saved in advance.
A spa town in the south on the Nemunas river, known for its sanatoriums, parks and an indoor ski complex. People come for weekends and for treatment. The internet helps with booking treatments and tables, bus timetables and checking event programmes, since many places work by prior appointment.
Lakes, pine forests and small villages in the north-east, loved by cyclists and kayakers. Coverage in the park is uneven: there is signal in the villages, but deep in the forest and by the water it can drop out. Download an offline map, save your accommodation address and do not count on internet at every point of the route.
A lake in the west of the country where people come in summer to swim and go boating. There are many forest roads and small settlements around the lake. You need internet to find parking, book a boat or a room and check the weather, but an offline map is needed as a backup because signal in the forest can be weak.
Most familiar services work as at home, and a few apps are especially handy for travellers in Lithuania.
The most familiar way to call a taxi in Vilnius, Kaunas and other large cities. The price is shown in advance, you pay by card, and you do not have to explain the address to the driver in Lithuanian.
Delivery from restaurants and shops in larger cities. Handy if you come back late and do not want to look for an open cafe. Add the flat number and door code to the address.
A short-term car rental service that operates in the Baltic states. Suitable for trips from town to lakes and parks. You need a driving licence to register, so read the terms in advance.
Works well across the country, shows routes by car, on foot and by public transport, plus opening hours and reviews. Download an offline map of the region before heading into the national parks.
Useful for Lithuanian signs, menus and timetables. Download Lithuanian for offline use and translate text with the camera on the spot.
For booking hotels, apartments and guesthouses in towns and on the coast. Keep confirmations on your phone and message hosts through a messenger in advance.
A convenient way to reach hosts, transfer drivers and guides. 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 Lithuania plan above and pay by card on the site, no passport is needed. If you are travelling on through the Baltics, look at the regional plans.
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 Lithuania, 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 to the national parks and lakes, download offline maps and save your tickets and accommodation addresses on the phone, so weak signal in the forest does not disrupt your route.
