Bucharest eSIM
100 Romania plans · from $2.51
Bucharest runs on some of the fastest and cheapest fixed internet in Europe, and its mobile networks are similarly good — Romania is a genuinely well-connected country. A travel eSIM covers the capital, Transylvania and the Danube Delta on one plan, and the delta is where you will notice coverage thinning.
Landing at Henri Coandă (OTP)
The airport is 16km north. The CFR train link runs to Gara de Nord, and the 783 express bus goes to Piața Unirii — both cheaper and often faster than a taxi in rush hour. Use the official ride-hailing apps rather than the kerbside offers.

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 Bucharest
Siima eSIMs for Romania ride Orange, Vodafone and Digi infrastructure. Coverage is strong across the cities, motorways and Transylvanian towns.
Coverage around Bucharest
Metro and the centre
Coverage across the metro network including tunnels, and throughout Lipscani, the Old Town and the boulevards around the Palace of Parliament.
Brașov, Sibiu and Bran
The Transylvanian towns and the road and rail routes north are well covered, including Bran and Peleș castles.
Transfăgărășan and the Carpathians
The mountain highway has coverage at the passes and in the valley towns, with gaps on the higher hairpins. It is closed by snow for much of the year — check before you plan around it.
The Danube Delta
Tulcea and the larger channels have signal. The reed channels, the birdwatching routes and the far villages towards Sulina have very little — plan those days offline.
How much data you need
A week in Romania is 3–4 GB. A road trip through Transylvania with constant navigation pushes it towards 5 GB.
