Europe Multi-Country: eSIM, Roaming & Contactless Pay (2026)
Data across borders
EU roaming rules mainly regulate EU operators—not every prepaid tourist SIM includes all neighbors. Check whether UK, Switzerland, or Balkan states are covered. eSIM regional packs vary; watch tethering limits.
Cards & cash
Chip + contactless Visa/Mastercard works widely. Use bank ATMs; shield your PIN; beware distraction scams in tourist zones.
