Slovenia is compact, so the most common plan is a rental car and a route of Ljubljana, caves, coast and mountains in a week. Maps, parking, farm-stay bookings and weather forecasts are needed at every stage. You install the eSIM at home, and in Slovenia you only switch data on.
This page is the quickest way to buy a travel eSIM for Slovenia 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 — Ljubljana and the rest of the country.
Compared with roaming in Slovenia, 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 Slovenia 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 small, and in a single trip you can easily cross it from west to east: the sea at Piran in the morning, a cave in the afternoon, vineyards near Maribor in the evening. There is no reason to change SIM cards at each stage, one profile works across the country. See the plans above for terms and data amounts, and if Slovenia is only part of a bigger European route, look at the regional plans too.
Keep your main SIM in the phone for calls and bank SMS, and let mobile data run through the eSIM. Most plans have no voice or SMS, so it is easier to message hosts and tour organisers in messengers. Many small guesthouses and farms reply exactly that way.

Cities and main roads are well covered, while narrow valleys and forest roads can have weaker signal. These are the places where you will use the internet most.
The country's main airport is at Brnik, about half an hour from the capital. Right after landing you need a map, the bus or shuttle timetable, a taxi and contact with the car rental desk. If you rent a car, internet helps with navigation and with electronic documents at car parks and toll sections. It is convenient when all this works while you are still walking from the exit to the car park.
A short stretch of Adriatic shore with Venetian architecture, salt pans and the resort of Portorož. You need internet to find parking, which is scarce in Piran, to book a table on the waterfront and to check boat timetables. In summer cafe networks get overloaded, so your own mobile data is more reliable than local Wi-Fi.
One of the most visited routes in the country: an underground train in the cave and a castle built into the cliff. In season it is better to book tickets in advance on the website, so you need internet before you set out. There is no signal underground, while at the entrance and car park it is usually steady, so send messages before the descent.
An emerald river, rafting, canyoning and trails from the First World War. This is a destination for active travellers, so internet is useful for booking with operators, checking the forecast and water levels. In side valleys signal gets weaker, so download an offline map before leaving the main road.
In winter it is a ski resort, in summer a base for mountain walks and drives over the Vršič switchbacks. You need internet to check road conditions, lift schedules and accommodation. On the pass and in narrow spots signal can drop, so keep your route in an offline map.
Slovenia's second-largest city, known for the oldest vine and for a winter resort in the Pohorje hills. It is easy to move between the city, the slopes and the wineries, and that takes a map, cable car timetables and bookings. Signal in the city is steady and on the slopes a little less even.
The country's oldest town with a castle above the Drava, surrounded by hills and vineyards. For wine roads you will want a map with the farms marked, menu translation and tasting bookings. In rural houses among the vineyards signal may be weaker, so save addresses in advance.
A hilly region by the Italian border known for cherries, olives and wine, with the Karst plateau of stone villages and caves nearby. The roads wind and signs are not everywhere, so navigation is needed all the time. It helps to save the farm locations in advance and not depend on signal on empty stretches.
Most familiar services work as at home. Below are the apps that are most often useful in Slovenia in particular.
Good for driving routes, including country roads, and shows car parks and opening hours. Before heading to the mountains or the Karst, download an offline map of the region.
A ride-hailing service that works in Ljubljana and some other towns. The price is shown in advance and you do not need to type the address. In small towns and on the coast there may be fewer cars, so in season keep a backup option.
The main way to find apartments, guesthouses and tourist farms. Save the confirmation and address in your phone, and message the host in a messenger.
A forecast from Slovenia's national meteorological service. Useful before going to the mountains or the coast, where weather changes fast. Any other app with an hourly forecast will do as well.
Handy for Slovene: menus, signs and instructions at small farms are often only in the local language. Download Slovene for offline use and translate text with the camera.
This is how you arrange things with hosts, guides and rafting organisers. Calling through a messenger is easier, since most plans have no voice calls.
Cards are accepted almost everywhere, but your bank's app may ask for confirmation. Keep mobile data on, and receive code SMS on your main SIM.
Make sure your phone supports eSIM and is not tied to a particular carrier. You can find this in the settings or on the manufacturer's website.
Choose a Slovenia plan on this page and pay online by card. No passport is needed to buy.
Install the eSIM at home by QR code, the Quick install button or manually while Wi-Fi is available. Do not leave it for the airport.
After landing, select the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming on for it.
Keep your main SIM for calls and bank SMS, but turn mobile data off on it so you do not pay for roaming.
If the package runs out, buy extra data on the site. You can share internet with a laptop on plans where hotspot is allowed.
Before heading to the Karst, the Soča Valley and mountain passes, download an offline map of the region and mark your accommodation: it is safer than counting on signal in narrow valleys.
