Is Liechtenstein in the EU? Does my Italian roaming plan work?

No, Liechtenstein is not a member of the European Union, so the European 'Roam Like at Home' regulation does not apply. Using your Italian SIM without a specific plan can mean very high non-EU roaming costs. A dedicated Datiovunque eSIM protects you from these surprises on your bill.

Is there coverage on the Malbun ski slopes too?

Yes. The Swisscom network is designed to cover alpine mountain areas as well. Malbun, the principality's only ski resort, falls within the covered area. You may notice some signal drops in the deepest valleys, but in general the connection is reliable even at high altitudes.

Do I need a visa or special documents to enter Liechtenstein?

Liechtenstein is part of the Schengen Area, so Italian citizens enter with just an identity card or passport, with no visa or formal border checks. The borders with Switzerland and Austria are open and can be crossed freely.

Which currency is used in Liechtenstein? Do I need to exchange euros?

Liechtenstein uses the Swiss franc (CHF), not the euro. It is best to exchange currency before leaving or withdraw at local cash machines. Keep your phone connected with your eSIM to check the exchange rate in real time and avoid excessive fees.

Can I buy and activate the Datiovunque eSIM before leaving Italy?

Absolutely, and it is the recommended way. Buy and set up the eSIM from Rome at your leisure, before departure. Once in Liechtenstein, your smartphone connects automatically to the Swisscom network without any additional steps. Just switch off airplane mode.

How much does an eSIM for Liechtenstein cost?

eSIM plans for Liechtenstein start from €1.29. You pay once for the amount of data you choose — no subscription, no monthly fees and no hidden roaming charges. Plans with more data or longer validity cost more.

Which operator or network does the eSIM use in Liechtenstein?

The eSIM in Liechtenstein connects automatically to local networks such as Swisscom, Salt / Sunrise, FL1 (Telecom Liechtenstein), Salt (7acht) — on 4G/LTE and, where available, 5G. Coverage reaches about 99% in inhabited areas. Your phone picks the best available network by itself.

Can I keep my Italian number with the eSIM in Liechtenstein?

Yes. Your Italian SIM and number stay active — the travel eSIM works alongside it as a data-only line. You stay reachable on WhatsApp, iMessage or Wi-Fi while you use the local network to browse. Traditional calls and SMS still go through your Italian number.

Can I top up or renew the plan for Liechtenstein?

Yes. When the data runs out or the validity expires, just buy a new plan — the eSIM profile already installed is kept and does not need to be installed again. You stay connected without interruption.

Can I share the connection (hotspot) in Liechtenstein?

Yes. You can share the connection in Liechtenstein through a personal hotspot with a computer, tablet or other devices. Shared data is deducted from your plan, so allow a few extra gigabytes if you expect to use the hotspot often.

How many GB do I need for Liechtenstein?

For a normal trip, 1–3 GB a week is enough for maps, messages and occasional browsing. With social media and photo sharing allow about 5 GB; for streaming, video calls or a hotspot count on 10 GB or more. If the volume is not enough, you can buy an additional plan at any time.

Is the eSIM compatible with my phone?

The eSIM works with all compatible devices — including iPhone XS and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later, and Google Pixel 3 and later. The phone must also be free of operator locks (not blocked). You can check compatibility in the settings under "Mobile data", or by dialling *#06# to see whether an EID code is shown.

Liechtenstein is one of the smallest and most surprising countries in Europe: 160 km² set between Switzerland and Austria, with medieval castles perched on the Alps, meticulously kept vineyards along the Rhine and a capital, Vaduz, that can be visited on foot in less than an hour. For this very reason, every moment is precious — and getting lost on mountain trails without a connection is not a romantic adventure, it is a real risk. With a Datiovunque eSIM activated comfortably from Rome before leaving, as soon as you cross the border (no customs, in the Schengen area) you will already be connected to the local network. No queues, no physical SIM, no problems.

Flight from Rome

No direct flight: about 2–3 hours by car from Zurich or Innsbruck (reachable by train or plane in ~1.5 hours from Rome)

Time zone

UTC+1 — same time as Rome, no difference

Best season

June–September for trekking and nature; December–March for skiing in Malbun

Power socket

Type C/J — Italian Type C plugs are compatible, no adapter needed

Why an eSIM is the right choice in Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein does not have its own independent mobile network operator: the country relies entirely on the Swiss network, in particular Swisscom, Salt and Sunrise, which guarantee 99% coverage of the territory with 4G/LTE and 5G technology. This means that, although a sovereign state, from the connectivity point of view it works as an extension of Switzerland — and Switzerland is not part of the European Union, so roaming with your Italian SIM could hold nasty surprises on your bill. With a dedicated Datiovunque eSIM, you avoid the unexpected costs of non-EU roaming and keep a stable connection across the whole principality: from the alpine trails of Malbun to the centre of Vaduz. The time is the same as in Rome (UTC+1), so you will not even have to recalibrate your daily rhythms. Total convenience, from the first step across the border.
