🇳🇱 Netherlands
Netherlands eSIM for tourists
A holiday in Netherlands rarely needs much data, which is exactly why bundles are bad value there. A week of maps, translation, a few restaurant bookings and some photo uploads usually lands between two and five gigabytes, and a 10 GB tourist bundle quietly throws half of it away.
MoneroSim bills $1.90 per GB from a balance you already own, so a short trip costs a few dollars and whatever is left waits for the next one.
Getting online in Netherlands
Schiphol has fast free wifi throughout. Nationwide 5G is close to universal and the rail network has strong in-train coverage.
The profile attaches to KPN, Vodafone NL, Odido, so coverage in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht is the same network you would get from a local shop, at 5G speeds where the mast supports it.
Why skip the local SIM shop
Netherlands does not legally require SIM registration, although shops increasingly collect a name and address out of habit rather than obligation.
On a five day trip the queue, the paperwork and the top-up card that expires in 30 days are all cost you pay in time rather than money. Installing before departure removes the whole errand.

Practical tips
- Install the profile on home wifi before you fly, then switch it on after landing
- Set MoneroSim as the data line and keep your usual SIM for calls and texts
- Download offline maps for Amsterdam to keep data use low
- Turn data roaming on for the MoneroSim profile; it is how it reaches KPN
