eSIM in the Netherlands: Staying Connected in Amsterdam
The Netherlands is a small country which is flat and very easy to get around. However before you arrive here it is wise to set up your internet and communication services in order.
NetherlandsWhy an eSIM Is the Smartest Way to Get Online in the Netherlands
The Netherlands is a small country but despite its size there are a lot of things to see and do. It is a flat country as well, which makes it easy to get around by bike. However, before you go to the Netherlands, it is a good idea to get sorted with a data package for your phone before you go, to use as you travel to and from Amsterdam airport, and then around the city and to other places in the Netherlands such as Rotterdam and to see the tulips in the countryside. Getting a data package for your phone delivered to your airport arrivals hotel, ready for use as you arrive, is far better than queuing for a physical SIM at the airport.
An eSIM gives you:
- Instant activation of your eSIM for your trip, as you can install your data package for your trip before departure.
- No physical SIM to lose or swap — in case you have to carry luggage, rent a bike, etc. while exploring the city.
- Your home number stays active — keep receiving calls and sending text messages with your primary number whilst using local data on your eSIM.
- Useful for travel to multiple countries in Europe, such as a trip from Amsterdam to other destinations in Europe.
For the first-time traveler to the Netherlands or the returning visitor, preconnecting your device before departure to the Netherlands makes for a smooth start to your trip.
Amsterdam: Reliable Coverage Across the Canals and Beyond
Amsterdam is the capital city of the Netherlands and of its telecommunication structures. We have a very solid 4G network and a growing 5G coverage in the city center including the famous Canal Ring and Jordaan area as well as the museum quarter around the Rijksmuseum.
What to expect as you explore:
- A strong signal in Dam Square, Vondelpark, Red Light District and more areas of Amsterdam which are popular with tourists.
- Good coverage on public transport (trams, buses and metro).
- a stable connection while touring by bike through the neighborhoods. In Amsterdam almost everything is within cycling distance.
For rural parts of the Netherlands, the coverage can decrease. If you are traveling to the Netherlands for a city trip to Amsterdam and you are going to spend one or more days in a rural area, we would like to refer to the regional coverage on our Netherlands destination page before your trip.
Getting the Most Out of Your eSIM in Amsterdam
When you have set up your eSIM properly, there are a few minor changes to your behavior that will make you get the most out of your eSIM during your stay.
- Download offline maps for the regions outside of Amsterdam where you will be traveling and which might have less coverage than others.
- Keep an eye on your data usage in the provider’s app for your eSIM so you can top up in time when necessary.
- Use WiFi in hotels and restaurants to download maps and update your apps to save mobile data for when you really need it.
- Keep your eSIM active for your return trip as you might travel back to Schiphol airport after a few days of traveling around the Netherlands.
With a bit of planning in advance, the eSIM becomes ‘transparent’ and you don’t have to think about your connectivity anymore. You can then use your time for walking along the canals, or for tasting those delicious stroopwafels.
