I'm visiting for two weeks and roaming prices are insane, I'm considering getting a prepaid SIM-card. Can I easily grab one in any shop, e.g. at the airport/Walmart? What are the prices? Unlimited data would be nice, but I can survive with a few GBs too, I'd probably need it mainly for navigation.

Airlo you can buy a prepaid e-sim before you arrive and have it all setup, so your ready to go right out of the airport.

You can setup google fi and have them mail the simcard to your hotel so its ready when you arrive.

If you want unlimited data for your two weeks, order a visible simcard to your hotel.

Of all the options, I'd just recommend having a e-sim loaded onto your phone before you arrive (i.e. Airlo, but there are other options.)
