Best time to visit Amsterdam from India
April and May (tulip season) are the most popular months for Indian visitors, with Keukenhof Gardens open and pleasant temperatures of 12C to 18C. June through August is summer with long daylight hours and temperatures of 18C to 23C. This is peak tourist season. September and October are quieter with lower prices. November through March is cold (2C to 8C) and wet but Amsterdam has excellent museums, Christmas markets, and significantly lower hotel rates.
Schiphol Airport (AMS) is the main international gateway. It has 5G and 4G coverage throughout terminals, departure lounges, baggage claim, and the train station below the terminal. Your HelloRoam eSIM connects immediately after landing.
The GVB tram and bus network covers the full city with outdoor 4G throughout. GVB metro lines have coverage at outdoor stations and above-ground sections. Deep tunnel segments between Centraal and Waterlooplein have patchy signal. Download your route on Google Maps before entering tunnels.
Intercity trains from Schiphol Centraal to Amsterdam Centraal and onward to Rotterdam and Utrecht maintain good 4G along the route. Indian travellers should activate their eSIM before the flight so navigation and ride-hailing apps work on arrival.

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.
