Belgium is a perfect short break from Dublin
Ryanair flies from Dublin to Brussels South Charleroi. Aer Lingus connects to Brussels Airport. Set up your HelloRoam eSIM at home before you fly. Enable data on landing and you are navigating Brussels, Bruges, or Ghent immediately.
Brussels is the EU capital and very well connected
Brussels has outstanding 5G coverage throughout the EU Quarter, Grand Place, and Ixelles. The STIB/MIVB tram and metro app works in real time on a local HelloRoam connection. Very useful for navigating the city without constantly hunting for Wi-Fi.
Bruges and Ghent are compact and walkable
Both medieval cities are small enough to navigate largely on foot. Map apps and Google Translate work brilliantly on HelloRoam's Belgian network. Bruges in particular is popular for Irish couples and weekend breaks.
The Ardennes need offline maps
Outdoor adventures in the Ardennes forests and valleys can take you into areas with weaker signal. Download offline maps before setting out on any hiking or cycling routes in the Belgian countryside.

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.
