eSIM Travel Tips for Belgium
Belgium is a great add-on to France or Netherlands
Belgium sits between France, Netherlands, Germany, and Luxembourg. Many Australians add Belgium as a 3 to 5 day extension to a French or Dutch trip. Your HelloRoam Belgium eSIM covers Belgium only. Buy plans for the other countries on your route before you set off.
Belgian chocolate and waffles navigation
Finding the best chocolatiers and waffle houses requires Google Maps local reviews rather than just walking into tourist strip shops. Having data running in Bruges' medieval centre or Ghent's canal areas helps you find the places locals recommend.
Brussels metro and tram
Brussels has a reasonable metro and tram system. Google Maps handles Belgian transit well. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps navigation running between the European Quarter, Grand Place, and Atomium.
Bruges by bicycle
Bruges is one of Europe's most bike-friendly medieval cities. Hire a bike and explore the canal ring. Having Google Maps running on your HelloRoam eSIM keeps you oriented in the compact medieval street grid.
Eurostar and travel insurance

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
