Download GVB and Google Maps Before You Arrive
Amsterdam's tram, metro, and bus network runs through the GVB app. Download it and cache your transit routes on Wi-Fi before landing. Deep metro tunnel sections between Centraal and Waterlooplein can lose signal briefly. Having cached routes means no interruption to navigation during the crossing.

Schiphol Airport has full 5G and 4G coverage throughout all terminals, gates, and the arrivals hall. The Amsterdam Centraal train station and surrounding streets have excellent signal. The metro system presents the main coverage gap: deep underground sections on lines 51, 53, and 54 have patchy signal, especially between Centraal and Nieuwmarkt in the tunnel.

The Red Light District and Nieuwmarkt square have reliable 4G and 5G. Anne Frank House and the narrow canal-side streets of the Grachtengordel have good outdoor signal. Indoor coverage in historic canal houses can be slightly weaker due to thick brick walls, but 4G is usable throughout.

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.
