Amsterdam has outstanding 5G and 4G coverage throughout the canal ring, Jordaan, De Pijp, and the Rijksmuseum area. Apps like 9292 for public transport and Uber run perfectly on a local data connection. Set up your HelloRoam eSIM at home before your Aer Lingus or Ryanair flight from Dublin.
Cycling routes are well covered
The Netherlands is a cycling nation and the cycling infrastructure means you will be moving around a lot. Maps and cycling navigation apps like Google Maps and Komoot work brilliantly on HelloRoam's Dutch network as you explore Amsterdam, Haarlem, or the tulip fields near Keukenhof in spring.
The Dutch rail network is excellent
NS trains between Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht have strong signal throughout. Download your NS journey planner app before you arrive and it will run smoothly on local data from the moment you land.
Keep your Irish number for calls home
Netherlands is EU so many Irish plans include roaming. But if you are planning a longer stay or want a more affordable option, HelloRoam from €2.04 is worth considering. Keep your Irish SIM for calls and HelloRoam for data.
