Internet in Austria: everything you need to know
Austria shows an internet penetration of around 93% and one of the best mobile footprints in Central Europe (source: ITU DataHub, 2024). 4G LTE covers the entire territory, including alpine valleys, and 5G is rolling out across every major city. An Austria eSIM gets you onto this network the moment you land at Vienna, Salzburg or Innsbruck.
- ●4G/5G coverage across every major city (Vienna, Salzburg, Innsbruck, Graz, Linz) and virtually every ski resort (Sölden, St. Anton, Kitzbühel, Zell am See).
- ●Average mobile download speeds around 70 to 90 Mbps per Ookla (Q1 2025).
- ●For EU/EEA travelers, roaming is charged at the domestic rate (RLAH); a dedicated eSIM stays useful for non-EU travelers (UK, Switzerland, US).
- ●Perfect for ÖBB (rail), Wiener Linien (Vienna transit), Google Maps, Bolt and ski apps (Skiline, EpicMix).

Datadopt Observatory
Price per GB in Austria: what our data shows
According to the Datadopt Observatory, the lowest price per GB recorded in Austria comes down to 0.08 €/GB, across a sample of 2,647 fixed-volume offers retained for the measurement. That floor is reached on large data bundles : a 5 GB plan over 30 days costs noticeably more per GB. The real differentiator is still the depth of the offer : the more plans compete, the easier it is to find the duration and data volume that fit your trip.
