How much eSIM data for 30 days in Germany?
For 30 days in Germany with normal daily use, TripUtils estimates 12–18 GB. A 20 GB plan is the usual buffer. Not a live price. DB Navigator, maps and messaging sit in the normal setting. A prepaid eSIM is mainly for visitors whose home SIM is outside the EU roaming zone. Type F Schuko at 230 V.

If your home SIM is an EU/EEA plan, Germany is often already included. Check roaming first. If you still want a travel eSIM, pick a Saily plan at or above 20 GB for Germany.
Planning size
| Habits | 30-day range | Planning size |
|---|---|---|
| Normal (maps, messages, social) | 12–18 GB | 20 GB |
| Normal + daily video | 30–45 GB | 50 GB |
Assumptions and sources
Light 0.20 / normal 0.50 / heavy 0.95 GB per day, plus optional extras, plus about 20% buffer. No live retail prices.
Christmas markets and Oktoberfest weeks lift stays in Munich and city centres; data use does not follow the festival calendar.
These are planning ranges, not live prices.
Common questions
Is 20 GB enough for 30 days in Germany?
DB Navigator, maps and messaging sit in the normal setting. A prepaid eSIM is mainly for visitors whose home SIM is outside the EU roaming zone. Type F Schuko at 230 V. The 12–18 GB estimate plus buffer lands on 20 GB. Hotel Wi‑Fi is not counted. Streaming video on mobile is the usual reason to go larger.
Should I roam in Germany instead?
Germany is EU roam-like-at-home for most EU/EEA SIMs. Austrian home SIMs usually already include it — type a day-pass only if you were quoted one.
Do you show live Saily prices?
No. Live prices belong on the provider site. The numbers on this page are a data-size estimate only.
