The short answer
Warsaw has no plan of its own: every travel eSIM sells it inside a Poland plan. We took the six that get most of the searches, priced them on the same day for a short break, a fortnight and a month, and thought through what a phone does between the airport, the tram stops, a museum queue and a walk along the river.
Unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $16.99 or 30 days at $26.99, nothing renews. The next cheapest is Ubigi at $29 for 15 days and $49 for the month.
10 GB for 30 days at $9, on Orange and Play. Its week of unlimited is $15, with 20 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps.
3 days of unlimited at $11 on Plus and Orange, and 20 GB for 30 days at $19, the same price as Airalo.
Days, not gigabytes, no daily cap stated for your own phone, on Plus, Orange and Play. $27.50 for a week.
Prices read on 29 October 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

What to see in Warsaw, and what your phone does for you there
Six places for a first visit to Warsaw, from the rebuilt Old Town to a baroque palace on the southern edge of the city. Most of them are linked by tram or metro, and two ask you to book a time.
Getting online at Chopin airport
Warsaw Chopin Airport, WAW, lies in the Okęcie district on the southern edge of the city, close enough that a trip into the centre is short. Switch your eSIM on after landing and it should be connected by the time you reach the arrivals hall, so you can open a map and a ticket app before you leave the building.
The SKM suburban trains and the city buses both stop at the airport, and taxis and ride apps wait outside. Which line to take depends on where you are staying, so check the next departures and the fare on your phone rather than on a printout, as both change from time to time.
Arriving at Modlin and taking the bus
Several low-cost airlines fly to Modlin, a smaller airport roughly forty kilometres north-west of Warsaw. It has no metro link, and the usual way into town is a dedicated shuttle bus or a short ride to the Modlin railway station and a train from there. Check the operator and the timetable that matches your flight.
Because the airport is small and the bus is timed to flights, it helps to have data ready the moment you land. Book or check the shuttle on your phone, and keep your onward address saved offline in case the connection drops on the road.
ZTM tickets and the Jakdojade app
The city transport authority, ZTM, runs the metro, trams and buses on one ticket system, and fares depend on time and on the zone you travel in. Jakdojade is a popular journey planner across Polish cities. It shows live departures and can sell tickets for the Warsaw network, so one app covers a day of moving around. Check which ticket matches your zone before you pay.
Mobile tickets must be bought before you board, and inspectors do check. Open the app on the platform, not once the tram has arrived, because a stop full of commuters is a poor place to wait for a slow connection.
Signal on the metro and around town
Warsaw has two metro lines, and mobile networks generally reach the stations and the tunnels between them. Messages are likelier to get through than a video call, so load your map and ticket before you go down. Check your own phone on the day, because coverage differs by network and by station.
Above ground, the centre, the Vistula banks and the big parks are covered, and 5G is available in the middle of the city. The museums are a different story: thick walls and underground galleries can weaken a signal, so load your booking before you enter and do not count on a bar inside.
The rebuilt Old Town, and why museums need a booked slot
Much of Warsaw was destroyed in the Second World War, and the Old Town you see today is a post-war reconstruction, rebuilt from rubble and old paintings and now on the UNESCO list. It is a good place to walk with no plan, since the lanes between the Market Square and Castle Square are short.
The museums are the opposite: the POLIN museum and the Warsaw Uprising Museum are popular, and entry is often by timed ticket. Book on the official site once your dates are fixed, save the confirmation to your phone, and check the opening days, as they vary through the week.
Which plan fits a Warsaw trip
A long weekend: Nomad sells 3 days of unlimited data at $11, Airalo $11.50 and Holafly $11.90. Ringo Light sells no 3-day plan for Poland, and neither do Saily or Ubigi.
A week: Ubigi sells 7 days at $15, with 20 GB at full speed and 2 Mbps after that, which is lower than our 2 weeks at $16.99. Nomad asks $25, Airalo $27 and Holafly $27.50 for a week, and Saily lists no 7-day Poland plan, so Ringo Light costs less than each of those, with a few days left over.
Two weeks or a month, perhaps Warsaw followed by a train to Krakow or Gdansk: Ringo Light 2 weeks at $16.99 or 30 days at $26.99, unlimited data at full speed. Both work across Poland, so you change nothing when you leave the capital.
If your phone plan is from the EU
Poland belongs to the EU, so EU roaming rules apply to visitors from other member states. A plan from another EU country is normally usable in Warsaw at your home price within a fair use limit, so read your own terms before buying anything. Visitors from outside the EU usually pay roaming fees, and that is when a travel eSIM pays for itself.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is our own data eSIM. For Poland, Warsaw included, it comes as two trips with unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $16.99 or 30 days at $26.99. Nothing renews, and the eSIM reaches you by email within seconds and installs with a single scan, no app.
If a small bucket is enough for you, Ubigi sells 10 GB for 30 days at $9, which is below our 2 weeks. Ringo Light has no buckets. You can buy it on the card above, just after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
Nomad unlimited, 3 days, $11. Ringo Light has no 3-day plan; its 2 weeks at $16.99 fits a break that may grow.
Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $16.99, lower than a week at Nomad ($25), Airalo ($27) or Holafly ($27.50). Saily sells no 7-day plan. Ubigi's week at $15 is lower still.
Ringo Light 2 weeks at $16.99 covers all three cities on a single plan.
Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $26.99.
Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $9.
Frequently asked questions
How we compared, and our sources
Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi, Ringo Light
We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Warsaw on 29 October 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.
We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
- Airalo: www.airalo.com/poland-esim?currency=USD, unlimited in dollars on the site, 29 October 2026; 10 GB, 20 GB and the daily cap from esimdb.com/poland/airalo, listing dated 26 October 2026; the site names Orange and two more networks
- Holafly: esim.holafly.com/esim-poland/, dollar prices and networks on the site, 29 October 2026; the 1 GB a day sharing limit is not on the page, so the 28 September figure stands
