Porto, Portugal

Free Wi-Fi is common in cafés, hotels and restaurants, but having mobile data makes Porto much easier to navigate.

An eSIM is usually the easiest option for travellers because you can activate data before arriving and avoid searching for SIM cards at the airport.

We normally use:

  • Maps while walking through Porto’s small streets

  • Bolt/Uber apps

  • Restaurant bookings

  • Translation and transport apps

Coverage is generally very good across Porto and the Douro Valley.

Tip: download the Airalo App and use our code FOODIEGUIDE to get money off your first eSIM.
