Sarajevo eSIM
84 Bosnia & Herzegovina plans · from $3.91
Sarajevo sits in a narrow valley where an Ottoman bazaar runs into an Austro-Hungarian high street within a few paces, and the siege of the 1990s is still legible in the buildings. A travel eSIM covers Bosnia, which is outside the EU and outside anyone's home roaming bundle.
Landing at Sarajevo International (SJJ)
The airport is 12km from the centre, about 20 minutes. It sits beside the neighbourhood where the wartime tunnel ran under the runway — the Tunnel of Hope museum is a short detour on the way in.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more
Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.
Which networks you'll be on in Sarajevo
Siima eSIMs for Bosnia & Herzegovina ride BH Telecom, m:tel and HT Eronet. The three operators are split along entity lines, so which one gives the best signal shifts as you cross the country.
Coverage around Sarajevo
Baščaršija and the centre
Good coverage across the bazaar, Ferhadija and the Latin Bridge. The valley walls create shadows on the steep hillside neighbourhoods above.
The hills and the 1984 Olympic sites
Trebević, the cable car and the abandoned bobsled track are covered. Signal at the top of the valley is generally better than on the floor.
Landmines — stay on marked paths
Parts of rural Bosnia still contain uncleared mines from the war, marked or otherwise. This is a safety matter, not a coverage one: stick to marked trails and roads, and do not follow a map app cross-country here.
Mostar and Herzegovina
The road and rail route south is one of the most scenic in the Balkans and holds signal for most of it. Mostar, Blagaj and Počitelj are all covered.
How much data you need
A week in Bosnia is 2–3 GB. Navigation on the mountain roads is the bulk of it — the routes are slow and the signage is inconsistent.
