This guide covers everything you need to know about choosing an eSIM for your trip to Denmark.

I’ve been using eSIMs consistently while travelling for the last three years and have tested a range of providers across different countries. I’ve also visited Denmark four times during that period, giving me the opportunity to test several options firsthand.

Below, I compare the eSIMs I’ve used and recommend for Denmark based on price, data allowance, network coverage and hotspot limits. I’ll also explain how mobile networks work in Denmark and what to check before buying a plan.

If you want reliable data without paying high roaming charges, here’s what you need to know.

🥳 TESTED TOP PICKS FOR COPENHAGEN

🚤 Top Repeat Activity: Stromma Canal Tour: I’ve done this tour more than 4 times now, and every time I see something different to excite me. Of the 4 times, I’ve only had a subpar guide once. It is also only $24 and has multiple departure times throughout the day. Just dress warm in the winter!
🚲 Fun to do: 3 Hour City Highlights Bike Tour: Even though I am scared of biking, this tour is the best way to explore the city.
🥐 Best Meal: I always look forward to eating at Fleisch (smørrebrød), Andersen & Maillard is a standout option for coffee and pastries, and I’ve eaten more Gasoline Grill burgers than I’m willing to admit (even though the Tivoli location is a miss due to price and increased wait times)

How mobile networks work in Denmark

Denmark has four major mobile networks:

👉 Norlys, TDC NET, Telenor and 3 Denmark.

If you are reading older articles, you might come across Telia.

Telia merged with Norlys in 2024 but is still mentioned in some eSIM providers.

Every eSIM you purchase will ultimately connect to one of these local networks.

Which network is considered the best?

Opinions obviously differ here and all four are considered excellent for Europe standards.

Norlys is currently regarded as the strongest all-round network.
TDC NET is considered to have the broader network for smaller towns and islands
Telenor shares the same network with Norlys
3 Denmark is an independent network, with a focus on highest speeds in urban areas like Copenhagen and Aarhus

🚨 Overall, I wouldn’t say that I noticed much of a difference in Denmark when switching between different networks. This is more important for countries where some networks really underperform or have low coverage.

The coverage map

For countries where coverage really differs, I recommend checking out the nPerf coverage map.

Here the differences really shine, and you can zoom in to the places you’ll visit specifically to see what companies perform best.

Overall, it is obvious that TDC has the most extensive network especially outside of Copenhagen and main urban centers.

How I compare eSIM companies and providers

While price is important, it’s not the only thing you need to look at.

Some providers are best for different things, so I would check:

network quality
overall value for money
regional coverage
ease of installation
app and support experience
any additional travel perks

The table below gives you a quick overview of some of the top providers.

I have also published reviews for specific companies, so if you want to dive deeper here are some of the articles to check out:

Airalo eSIM for Denmark

Airalo was one of the first eSIM companies, around since 2019.

It paved the way for a lot of the innovation in the eSIM space, and is considered a solid choice.

I haven’t had any significant issues using their eSIMs either.

There are a lot of options but here are some to give you an idea.

They generally offer 3-7-15-30 plans and then you choose your data allowance.

👉 Fixed data plans

3 GB – $7.50 (3 days)
5GB – $10 (7 days)
10GB – $17.50 (15 days)
20GB – $27.50 (30 days)

👉 Unlimited Plans

*I’m not a huge fan of their unlimited data plans due to their hotspot limit per day (3GB).

5 days (unlimited) – $18.50
7 days (unlimited) – $26.50
10 days (unlimited) – $34.50
15 days (unlimited) – $48.50

Saily eSIM for Denmark

Saily is owned/developed by Nord Security.

The best feature (apart from all the security support) is that it has a simple US +1 phone number add on to their plans, which starts from $.99 (subscription) and then you pay per minute/calls needed which is also under a few dollars to start.

It also doesn’t restrict you hot spotting to your laptop on its unlimited plans, which I always look out for.

👉 Fixed data plans:

*Saily has long 30 day data plans for most of their packages, so you just need to select your data allowance and not have to worry about duration as much.

3 GB – $7.99 (30 days)
5GB – $10.99 (30 days)
10GB – $17.99 (30 days)
20GB – $27.99 (30 days)

👉 Unlimited Plans

*The Saily unlimited data plans are currently just 0.50 cents higher and have a 5GB high speed Fair Usage policy.

5 days (unlimited) – $18.99
7 days (unlimited) – $26.99
10 days (unlimited) – $34.99
15 days (unlimited) – $48.99

Ubigi eSIM for Denmark

Ubigi is operated by Transatel and is another provider where the focus is on reusable eSIMs.

That means you buy one “virtual eSIM” install on your phone and can add plans for different destinations instead of installing another one each time.

It also has some of the wider options on plan structures. You can do one-off, monthly and annual plans so it’s a go to, if you are constantly travelling.

👉 Fixed data plans:

*Definitely some of the best prices here.

3 GB – $5 (15 days)
10GB – $9 (7 days)
10GB – $11 (30 days)
25GB – $21 (30 days)
50GB – $37 (30 days)

👉 Unlimited Plans

*Ubigi definitely has some of the best prices here. But their unlimited plans do have Fair Usage that differs based on country. That means you get 50GB-60GB of high speed internet with your unlimited 30 day plan. Similar to buying the 50GB (fixed) for $37 (see above).

7 days (unlimited) – $19
15 days (unlimited) – $29
30 days (unlimited) – $39

🥳 UBIGI OFFER

Superalink eSIM for Denmark

Superalink is a very different company structure that impressed me a few years ago, and I like to include as a comparison.

They are founded and based in South Korea.

The packages on offer differ massively based on the destination but most have a daily cap rather than a total GB.

They also have a set tethering hotspot limit of 2GB a day which to me is limiting but for some might be worth it.

👉 Demark 5GB Daily plans

*Here you always get 5GB a day.

5GB (daily) – $17 (5 days)
5GB (daily) – $19.95 (10 days)
5GB (daily) – $27.93 (15 days)
5GB (daily) – $38.76 (30 days)

If we compare Superalink’s 15-day plan at $27.93 with a plan like Ubigi’s 50GB for $37, the difference is interesting. With Superalink, 5GB × 15 days gives you a potential 75GB of data, so you actually get a larger total allowance for less money.

The trade-off is that the data is allocated daily. You have 5GB to use each day and can’t carry unused data over to another day. So while the total allowance is higher, you have less flexibility if your data use varies significantly from one day to the next.

Which Denmark eSIM should you choose?

As you can see, I’m not trying to push a provider but give you the information to make a decision.

We all have different needs on data and time.

But the numbers do give clear answers if you do a deep dive.

Based on the current plans I’ve compared, here’s my quick recommendation:

Ubigi currently offers some of the best value across low, medium and high fixed-data packages. Superalink becomes more competitive if you consistently use several GB every day, while I would choose Saily for unlimited data because hotspot use isn’t restricted in the same way as Airalo or Superalink.

Data Needs	My Pick	Plan	My take	Notes
Low	Ubigi	3 GB - $5 / 15 days	Best for short trips. $5 is hard to beat especially if you can use hotel WiFi and only need a bit of data.	Use code for 10% off your first plan. 🎁 Code: BACHELORTRAVEL
Medium	Ubigi	10 GB $11/ 15 days	Great option for most people. 10GB is plenty for normal daily use.	Use code for 10% off your first plan. 🎁 Code: BACHELORTRAVEL
High	Ubigi 🔥 Editor's Choice	25 GB - $21 /30 days	Best overall option if you need to do a bit of everything and have a trip that is 10-20 days.	Use code for 10% off your first plan. 🎁 Code: BACHELORTRAVEL
Very High	Superalink	5 GB/day - from $17	You get a lot of data for the price, but only choose it if your usage is fairly consistent each day.	Use code for 20% off your first plan. 🎁 Code: BACH20
Unlimited	Saily	Unlimited - from $18.99	My pick for unlimited. It costs almost the same as Airalo but doesn't have as low hotspot restrictions.	Use code for 10% off your first plan. 🎁 Code: BOF10

FAQ about eSIMS in Denmark

Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming?

That depends heavily on your contract/plan with your phone carrier. Most often an eSIM is cheaper than roaming. It is also more convenient than buying a physical card and having to switch out sims.

If you are visiting with an EU number, you usually can call/message and use data with the same charges.

🚨 Heads up: If you already have an EU/EEA mobile plan, check your roaming allowance before buying an eSIM. Denmark is covered by EU “Roam Like at Home” rules, so you may already be able to use your calls, texts and data without additional roaming charges. Fair-use limits can still apply.

Can you just use public WiFi?

If you are not a heavy user of data, then maybe.

But you’ll be sacrificing an on the go reliable connection to use for transportation, maps and overall communication.

When to buy or activate?

Overall, you have a lot of flexibility.

You can pre-purchase eSIMs from all these companies I mentioned, and activate once you depart for your trip.

The airport in Copenhagen has excellent WiFi so you can even do it after you arrive.

How do you activate a plan?

All these companies have clear, straightforward instructions.

After payment of the plan, you’ll be guided through a series of prompts (that have gotten seriously super easy in recent years!)

👉 You usually:

Scan a QR code or just activate through the app *The app activation is often the easiest.
Your phone will be prompted to install and activate the eSIM
You name the new SIM and activate data roaming
Ready!

Other things to keep in mind

The only thing to keep in mind is that not all phones support eSIM connection.

This is mostly the case for some US carriers, that lock phones.

Only unlocked phones can add eSIMs, so you might need to request your phone to be unlocked before an international trip (and pay a fee).

What about other eSIM providers

There are dozens of eSIM companies now, and the four above definitely aren’t your only options for Denmark.

I’ve tested quite a few of them over the last few years, and there are pros and cons to all of them depending on what you need.

Sim Local, for example, is an interesting option if you like the reassurance of buying from a company that also has physical airport locations.

👉 You can check out the full Sim Local review here. And I also have a discount code for 5% when using BACHELORTRAVEL

Roambit is a much newer provider that I tested recently. I liked quite a few things about the platform, but being newer means it doesn’t yet have the same track record as companies like Airalo or Ubigi. They are well priced and have a very UI friendly app.

✨ You can use discount code: BACHELORTRAVEL10 for 10% off all your Roambit eSIM plans.

I’ve also tested Simbye, which stood out particularly for its very cheap data pricing in Greece, and other European countries. Use my code BACHELOR10 for 10% the plan from Simbye. You can also read the full review

Then there are companies like Holafly, which focus heavily on unlimited plans. These can make sense for some travellers, but I generally prefer knowing exactly how much high-speed data I’m buying. “Unlimited” eSIMs can still have Fair Usage Policies, speed reductions or hotspot restrictions, so I always check the fine print rather than choosing a plan just because it says unlimited.

With that said, Holafly is still a popular option and it makes sense in some destinations.

✨ You can also get a little discount on your order using BACHELOROFTRAVEL
