Mobile data in Germany

  • Good 4G and 5G in cities.
  • There are still dead spots on some train lines and in rural areas. Download what you need before long train trips.
  • Your eSIM connects as roaming on local networks, so turn on Data Roaming for it when you land. There are no extra roaming charges.

Useful apps

  • DB Navigator: train times and tickets for all of Germany
  • Uber, Bolt or FREENOW: rides in big cities
  • Google Maps: directions and public transport

Good to know

  • 112 is for ambulance and fire, and 110 is for police.
  • Many small shops, bakeries and bars still prefer cash.
