Setup

Set the eSIM up before you fly to Slovenia

Set up your eSIM before you travel. Install it once from the link in your email, switch it on when you arrive, and you’re online.

On iPhone (iOS)

  1. After purchase, open the confirmation email and tap the install link — the eSIM adds itself (iOS 17.4+). Older iPhone: Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM → scan the QR from the same email.
  2. Label the plan (e.g. “vigxo travel”) and set your home line to keep calls/SMS.
  3. Turn on Data Roaming for the vigxo line — this uses the local partner network, not your home carrier.

On Android

  1. Tap the Android install link in your email (recent Android) — or Settings → Network & internet → SIMs → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
  2. Download the profile and set vigxo as your Mobile data line.
  3. When you land, turn on data roaming for the vigxo line so that line can use the local network.

Good to know

  • Works on eSIM-capable phones (iPhone XR/XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+). Older or carrier-locked phones may not support eSIM.
  • Install before you fly on Wi‑Fi — you only need to enable it when you land, no signal required to set up.
  • Data-only plans: keep your home SIM active for calls and texts. Use WhatsApp/FaceTime over data.
  • Prices are final at checkout. Full refund before you install the eSIM.

What you can actually buy for Slovenia

7 plans for Slovenia, from 3 to 50 GB. Validity runs from 1 day to 180 days. 7 of them run on 5G where the local network has it.

7 plans can be topped up without installing a second eSIM. Plans run on Telemach, Mobitel.

Counted from our live catalogue, not a marketing figure. The list above shows the best-priced plan for each size and validity; the count here includes every plan.

Regional plans that also cover Slovenia

55 regional plans include Slovenia. The widest covers 127 countries — worth it if Slovenia is one stop of several, rather than the whole trip.

Regional coverage starts at $4.99 for 3 GB over 15 days.

How eSIMs work in Slovenia

A travel eSIM for Slovenia is a digital SIM your phone downloads — no plastic card, no airport pickup counter. You buy online, tap the install link we email you (a QR code is included too), and it installs a second line alongside your existing SIM. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly. When you land in Slovenia, turn on data roaming for that line so it can use Telemach, Mobitel on 5G where available and LTE everywhere else. Your home number keeps working for calls and texts; the eSIM carries the data.

How much data do you need in Slovenia?

Maps, messaging and rideshare apps are light — roughly 300–500 MB a day. Add photos, social and the occasional video and you’re closer to 1 GB a day. For a one-week trip a 5 GB plan is comfortable; for two weeks, sharing, or heavy use, choose 10 GB or more, or a reloadable plan you can top up on the go. Slovenia plans start at $4.99 across 7 sizes, with the per-GB price shown on every one so the right choice is obvious.

What do you pay for data in Slovenia?

A travel eSIM for Slovenia is a local data plan. You pay the price shown at checkout. Set the eSIM as your data line and turn data roaming off on your home SIM, so your home carrier does not add this trip's data to your bill. Full refund before you install.

Setting up your Slovenia eSIM

  1. 1. Buy a plan — your install link and QR code arrive by email right after payment.
  2. 2. While you’re still on Wi-Fi before you fly, tap the install link in your confirmation email — or open Settings → Cellular/Mobile Data → Add eSIM and scan the QR.
  3. 3. Land in Slovenia, turn on data roaming for the eSIM line, and you’re online.

What to eat in Slovenia

Potica

A rolled yeast cake with a spiral of filling, most traditionally ground walnuts, eaten at holidays and increasingly year-round.

Bakeries across the country; Ljubljana's central market has several stalls.

Kranjska klobasa

Carniolan sausage, a protected-origin pork sausage boiled and served with mustard and bread or sauerkraut.

Gostilnas anywhere; it is a national staple rather than a regional one.

Štruklji

Rolled dumplings, either savoury with cottage cheese and tarragon or sweet with walnuts, boiled or baked.

Traditional gostilnas; several Ljubljana places specialise in them.

Jota

A thick soup of sauerkraut or sour turnip with beans and potato, sometimes with smoked pork. Winter food from the Karst region.

Gostilnas in the Karst and the Vipava valley.

Idrijski žlikrofi

Small potato-filled dumplings from Idrija, shaped by hand and protected by origin designation, usually served with a meat or mushroom sauce.

Idrija itself, and better restaurants elsewhere.

Prekmurska gibanica

A layered pastry from the far northeast with poppy seed, walnut, apple and cottage cheese in alternating layers.

Prekmurje region; widely available as a dessert nationally.

Bled cream cake

Kremšnita — a square of vanilla custard and cream between puff pastry, associated specifically with Lake Bled.

The lakeside cafes at Bled, where it originated.

Karst prosciutto

Kraški pršut, air-dried ham cured in the Karst wind, drier and more savoury than its Italian neighbours.

Karst villages between Ljubljana and the coast, often with local Teran wine.

Bograč

A goulash-like stew of several meats cooked slowly in a cauldron, from Prekmurje near the Hungarian border.

Northeastern Slovenia; often a festival dish.

Slovenian wine

Three distinct wine regions: Primorska near Italy, Podravje in the northeast, and Posavje. Orange wine from the Goriška Brda and Vipava areas has a serious international following.

Wine bars in Ljubljana; cellar visits in Brda and Vipava.

What to see in Slovenia

Lake BledBled

An island church on a glacial lake beneath a clifftop castle. The most photographed place in the country, and busy for it — early morning is a different experience from midday.

Ljubljana old town and castleLjubljana

A compact riverside centre of Baroque and Plečnik architecture, walkable end to end, with a funicular up to the castle.

The country's only national park, covering the Julian Alps and Mount Triglav itself, which appears on the national flag.

Škocjan CavesDivača

A UNESCO-listed karst system with an underground canyon crossed by a bridge high above the river. Less commercial than Postojna and more dramatic.

A Venetian-era town on a narrow headland on the short Adriatic coast, with a compact old centre and a hilltop church.

Getting around Slovenia

Intercity bus

The most practical way between towns, more frequent and often faster than the train on many routes. Book online or buy at the station.

a few euros for short hops

Train

Slovenske železnice runs a modest network. Slower than the bus on most domestic routes but useful for the international connections to Austria, Italy and Croatia.

comparable to the bus

Car hire

The country is small enough to cross in about two hours, and a car unlocks the Alps, the Karst and the wine regions properly. A motorway vignette is required and is sold digitally and at petrol stations.

vignette plus fuel

Ljubljana city bus

Runs on the Urbana card, a rechargeable card bought and topped up at kiosks and machines. Cash is not accepted on board.

flat fare per journey

Cycling

Ljubljana has a public bike-share scheme and the city is flat and compact. Longer-distance routes follow the rivers.

very low

Ride-hailing

Bolt

Operates in Ljubljana and to a lesser extent Maribor. Outside those, taxis are booked by phone or found at ranks, and the country is small enough that intercity buses usually make more sense.

Practical things worth knowing in Slovenia

Paying for things

  • Standard almost everywhere, including small cafes and bakeries.
  • Widely supported at contactless terminals.
  • Cash still useful for: some rural gostilnas, market stalls, mountain huts, small parking machines

Slovenia eSIM — questions, answered

When does my Slovenia eSIM start counting?
Your validity window starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Slovenia, not when you buy it — so you can install it before you fly and it only begins on arrival.
Will my phone work in Slovenia?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone (iPhone XR/XS+, Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+). Check the compatibility page before you buy — and if it turns out your phone can’t use it, you get a full refund since nothing was installed.
Can I keep my number and WhatsApp in Slovenia?
Yes. Your vigxo plan is data-only, so your primary SIM stays active for calls, texts and your usual number. WhatsApp, iMessage and all your apps keep working over the eSIM data.
What if I run out of data in Slovenia?
If your plan is reloadable, you can top up the same eSIM from your dashboard — no reinstall needed. Otherwise, buy a new plan; it comes as a new eSIM with its own QR code.
How do refunds work?
Full refund before installation, within 30 days of purchase. Once an eSIM is installed the data is released to you, so it can’t be refunded after that.
