San Marino-specific notes
Activating your eSIM for San Marino is generally straightforward. We recommend installing your eSIM profile before your departure, while you still have access to a stable Wi-Fi connection. However, you can choose to activate it upon arrival as long as you can connect to Wi-Fi. You'll then be ready to use mobile data as soon as you land. While San Marino benefits from good 4G LTE coverage across its main towns like San Marino City and Borgo Maggiore, 5G availability might be more localised or still expanding, so expect robust 4G speeds for most of your connectivity needs.
