Getting online in San Marino
There's no airport; most visitors arrive via Rimini (RMI) or Bologna (BLQ). Install your San Marino eSIM at home on Wi-Fi and it connects as soon as you cross into San Marino.
To get around, most visitors use the bus from Rimini. Your eSIM works across the country, including City of San Marino, Borgo Maggiore and Serravalle, wherever partner networks reach.
You'll see Italian on most signs, so a camera-translate app is worth having on mobile data. Prices are in euro, and your bank's one-time codes still arrive on your home SIM.
Before you travel
- San Marino isn't in the EU, so EU roaming bundles may charge extra, and phones often switch to Italian networks.

eSIM, local SIM or roaming: what works best in San Marino
| Feature | Best for most tripsLinkPaLS eSIM | Local SIM card | Home roaming |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set up | At home, before you fly | On arrival, at a shop or kiosk | Already on |
| ID needed | None | Usually a passport | None |
| Your home number | Stays on | Removed while the SIM is out | Stays on |

Still unsure? Email support@linkpals.store and a person replies.
Which eSIM is best for San Marino?
One that matches your days and leaves some data spare. A country plan is usually the better deal for San Marino alone; if the trip continues across borders, a regional plan is simpler.
Does the eSIM work in Borgo Maggiore and Serravalle?
Yes. Your eSIM covers San Marino wherever partner networks reach, including City of San Marino, Borgo Maggiore and Serravalle. Expect slower data or gaps in remote areas, as with any network.
Will WhatsApp keep working in San Marino?
Yes, with the same number and chat history. WhatsApp only needs a data connection, and the eSIM provides it.
Can I buy an eSIM for San Marino before I travel?
Yes, and we recommend it. Buy and install it at home on Wi-Fi, then turn it on when you land. Most plans start counting days from the first connection in San Marino.
Which networks does the eSIM use?
It connects to licensed local partner networks in San Marino.
Is an eSIM worth it for San Marino?
For most visitors, yes. It costs less than roaming, takes two minutes to install at home, and your own number keeps working for calls and codes.
Can I use my eSIM as a hotspot in San Marino?
Yes. LinkPaLS plans allow tethering, so you can share data with a laptop or a travel partner. Hotspot use drains data faster, so size up your plan.
