Lisbon is built on hills and served by trams, funiculars and a metro that does not quite reach everything. Half of getting around is deciding whether to walk up or find the lift, and that decision is a great deal easier with a map that knows the gradient.
Data goes on transit and walking routes, on booking day trips out to Sintra or Cascais, and — for the many people who come here to work rather than sightsee — on a hotspot in a café. The same eSIM covers the rest of Portugal.
This is an eSIM for Portugal. It works everywhere in the country, Lisbon included — there is no Lisbon-only plan, and you would not want one. See all Portugal plans

FAQs for your travel eSIM
Is this eSIM only for Lisbon?
No. It is an eSIM for Portugal, and it works across the whole country, Lisbon included. That is deliberate: plans are sold per country, so you stay connected when you leave Lisbon instead of losing data at the edge of town.
Will my phone work with the Lisbon eSIM?
Any eSIM-compatible phone bought in the last few years (iPhone XS or newer, Pixel 3 or newer, recent Samsung Galaxy, etc.) works with our Lisbon travel eSIM. Use our compatibility checker if you are unsure.
When does the Lisbon eSIM start counting?
Validity starts the moment your travel eSIM connects to a network in Lisbon, not when you buy it. You can install it before your trip without losing days.
Do I keep my regular number while using the Lisbon eSIM?
Yes. Your physical SIM stays active for calls and SMS on your normal number. The Lisbon eSIM only handles mobile data, so WhatsApp, maps and apps all run on your eSIM data.
Can I tether or use a hotspot in Lisbon?
Yes, every Lisbon eSIM plan allows tethering and personal hotspot, so you can share your eSIM data with a laptop or another device.
What happens if I run out of eSIM data in Lisbon?
Top it up from your account: open the eSIM and tap Top up. The extra data is added to the same eSIM — no new QR to scan and no shop to visit. If your plan doesn't support top-ups or has already expired, buy a new Lisbon plan instead.
Is the Lisbon eSIM refundable?
If you haven't installed your eSIM (installing means scanning the QR) or activated it, and the plan hasn't expired, we refund it in full: contact support with your order number. Once it is installed or activated it can't be refunded because you changed your mind — but if it isn't working, contact us and we'll sort it out.
