Luxembourg is small, but its best routes run through valleys rather than a single city: the old town's canyon, the castle at Vianden, the forest trails of the Mullerthal. Bus and train timetables, a map for a hike and a table booking in a small town all need internet at every step. You install the eSIM at home in advance, and on arrival you only switch data on.
You can buy an eSIM for Luxembourg online right on this page from 3 500 ₸: choose a data plan, pay by card and get the QR code within minutes. An eSIM is a digital SIM card — it installs on your phone with no plastic card and no visit to a phone shop.
The eSIM connects to local mobile networks, so you have data wherever they have coverage across Luxembourg.
Roaming in Luxembourg with a Kazakh carrier is usually far more expensive, and roaming data runs out fast. With a Funsim eSIM you pay a fixed price for a data package and keep your home SIM in the phone for calls and bank SMS — roaming on it can stay off.
If your phone does not support eSIM, you can buy a regular physical SIM card with data for Luxembourg 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.
The country is compact and public transport reaches almost every town and village, so day trips without a car are the norm. For such routes the most important thing is constant access to timetables and maps. One profile works across the whole country, and the data amount and terms are in the plans above.
Your main SIM stays in the phone for calls and bank SMS, while mobile internet goes through the eSIM. Most plans have no voice calls or SMS, so arranging things with hosts and guides is easiest in messengers. If your trip includes neighbouring countries, look at the regional plans.
| Criterion | eSIM Funsim | Roaming | Local SIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| When to set up | At home, before the flight | Usually on arrival | After landing, in a shop |
| What you do in Luxembourg | Switch data on for the eSIM | Check your operator's terms | Find a point of sale and register |
| Cost of data | Fixed package, see plans above | Usually much more expensive | Depends on the operator's tariff |
| Your home number | Stays for calls and banking | Stays active | Needs a second SIM or a swap |
| Trips around the country and into valleys | One profile nationwide | Depends on terms | Yes, but you must buy it first |
Coverage is dense in the towns, but it can be weaker in narrow valleys and forests in the north and east. These are the places where you will use the internet most.
The airport is close to the city, and you can reach the centre by public transport. After landing you need to get your bearings: find the right stop, check the timetable, message your host. With internet already on, this takes a couple of minutes, with no hunt for Wi-Fi in the arrivals hall and no queue in a shop.
The old town stands on a rock above the Alzette canyon, and the lower quarter of Grund lies beneath it. There are many stairs, lifts and narrow passages, and a map helps you avoid going in circles. This unusual set of fortifications is a UNESCO site, and opening hours and tickets are easier to check on your phone on the spot.
A town in the Sauer valley with a hilltop castle and a chairlift, where Victor Hugo lived in 1871. Many people come here for the day from the capital by bus. Signal in the valley can be uneven, yet you constantly need the map, the return bus times and the weather, so save the return trip in advance.
The country's oldest town and the surrounding land of rocks, forests and gorges, known as Luxembourg's Little Switzerland. People love to walk the marked trails here. Signal can drop in the forest and the gorges, so download an offline map and use mobile internet for bus timetables and the weather.
The north of the country, with Clervaux Castle, home to a well-known photography exhibition, and wooded hills. Distances between villages are bigger and buses run less often than in the centre, so the exact departure time matters. Save your accommodation address and your host's number in advance in case signal disappears on the road.
The country's second-largest city and the former steelworks district of Belval, now home to a university and museums. Students, delegations and fans of industrial architecture choose this destination. Coverage is steady, and internet is useful for museum tickets, routes and laptop work.
Public transport inside the country runs as a single system, and journeys for second-class passengers are currently free. You need no ticket but you do need the timetable, so internet still matters: connections, delays and route changes are easier to follow in an app. Check the current terms before the trip.
Most familiar services work as at home. These are the apps that help here in particular.
The official journey planner for buses, trains and trams. It shows connections and departure times, and for valleys and small villages it is the most reliable way not to miss a service.
Works well across the country and shows walking and driving routes, opening hours and reviews. Download an offline map of the area before setting off on the Mullerthal trails.
The country has three official languages, and signs may be in French or German. Download the languages you need in advance and translate menus and notices with the camera on the spot.
A convenient way to talk to hosts, guides and colleagues. Since most plans have no voice calls, calling through a messenger is simplest.
Good for finding hotels and guesthouses in the capital and in small towns. Keep confirmations and check-in instructions on your phone, not only in your email.
For walks in valleys and forests it is worth checking the forecast. Weather in hilly terrain changes quickly, and rain makes trails slippery.
Check that your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. You can see this in the settings or on the manufacturer's website.
Choose a Luxembourg plan above and pay by card on the site, no passport is needed. If you are also visiting neighbouring countries, compare the regional plans.
Install the eSIM at home by QR code, the Quick install button or manually while you have home Wi-Fi.
After landing, choose the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming on for that line.
Keep your main SIM 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. Hotspot is available on most plans, see the plan page for the terms.
Before heading onto forest trails, download an offline map and save the return bus timetable: signal in the valleys can drop for a while.
