How much mobile data do I need in Europe?

Most travellers use about 0.5–1GB per day. For a two-week Europe trip, 10GB is a sensible starting point for maps, messaging, browsing and some social media.

Quick recommendations

• Light use: 3–5GB for two weeks
• Typical use: about 10GB for two weeks
• Heavy social use: 20–30GB for two weeks
• Work, hotspot or video: 30GB or unlimited

What uses the most data?

Video, video calls and hotspot use are usually the biggest variables. Download maps and entertainment over Wi-Fi, turn off automatic updates and cloud backup, and reduce streaming quality to make data last.
