Why Travelers Choose an eSIM for Bulgaria
Flying into Sofia (SOF) for Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Vitosha mountain views, Plovdiv for Europe's 2019 Capital of Culture, Varna for the Black Sea coast, or the Rila Monastery UNESCO day-trip? A Bulgaria eSIM connects to A1 Bulgaria, Yettel or Vivacom the moment your plane lands ā no Sofia arrivals kiosk queue, no Bulgarian ID-linked SIM paperwork. Under EU Roam Like At Home, the eSIM covers side-trips to Romania, Greece or Serbia-via-EU. Activate a plan in two minutes, scan the QR code, and you're online for Yandex taxi rides across Sofia, Bansko ski-resort chairlift bookings, or Nessebar old-town walking-tour navigation. Choose a 7-day 3 GB plan for a Sofia + Plovdiv + Rila weekend, a 30-day 10 GB plan for a full Bulgaria circuit including the Black Sea coast, Bansko and Veliko Tarnovo, or Bulgaria eSIM unlimited data for longer ski-season or digital-nomad stays.
eSIM vs A1 Bulgaria Tourist SIM ā Which Works Best in Sofia?
A1 Bulgaria, Yettel and Vivacom sell tourist SIMs at Sofia Airport and in city-centre shops, but activation needs passport + tourist form. A Bulgaria travel eSIM activates before you land and uses EU Roam Like At Home for Romania or Greece side-trips.

Bulgaria eSIM FAQ ā Sofia Coverage, A1 Bulgaria Support & Black Sea Travel
Which is the best eSIM for Bulgaria?
The best eSIM for Bulgaria depends on your trip ā a 7-day 3 GB plan fits a Sofia + Plovdiv + Rila Monastery weekend, a 30-day 10 GB plan covers a full Bulgaria circuit including Varna, Burgas, the Nessebar old town and Bansko ski resort, and Bulgaria eSIM unlimited data suits longer ski-season or digital-nomad stays in Sofia or Plovdiv. Our Bulgaria eSIMs run on A1 Bulgaria and Vivacom, with dense 4G/5G across Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas and along the Trakiya motorway.
Is a prepaid Bulgaria eSIM available with unlimited data?
Yes ā a prepaid Bulgaria eSIM with unlimited data is available for 7, 15 or 30 days. Ideal for ski-season weeks at Bansko or Borovets where chalet Wi-Fi can be patchy, for Sofia digital-nomad stays, or for Black Sea summer trips from Varna to Nessebar and Sozopol. Activate on arrival at Sofia Airport and the same plan runs across all EU countries under Roam Like At Home.
Does a Bulgaria eSIM cover Greece and Romania side-trips?
Yes ā under EU Roam Like At Home rules, a Bulgaria eSIM works seamlessly across Greece (Thessaloniki, Meteora, Athens) and Romania (Bucharest, BraČov) without extra roaming charges. That makes it a great option for travelers doing a Balkans + Aegean combo or a Sofia + Bucharest city-break loop.
