Does the eSIM work inside the Sint-Pietersberg caves?

Signal is very limited deep inside the marl tunnels, as with any phone underground. Download your tour details and maps beforehand; coverage returns as soon as you emerge back above ground on the hill.

Which airport serves Maastricht?

Maastricht Aachen Airport is closest, though it has limited flights. Many travellers arrive via Schiphol, Brussels or Düsseldorf and continue by train. The eSIM connects on Dutch networks throughout the Netherlands leg of the journey.

Good to know in Maastricht

Maastricht sits right against Belgium and Germany, so your phone can latch onto a foreign network near the border; keep the eSIM set to a Dutch network manually if you want to be sure your Netherlands data is what's used.

Two simple ways to buy

Maastricht eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.

Every Maastricht eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Maastricht — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.

Traveller streaming and browsing freely on an unlimited-data travel eSIM

Unlimited plans

High-speed data, nothing to count

Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.

Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
Great for longer or open-ended trips
One price per day — no GB anxiety

By-the-GB plans

3GB10GB20GB

A set bundle, brilliant value

A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.

How much data do you need in Maastricht?

A rough, honest guide to sizing your Maastricht eSIM so you're not guessing. Most travellers in Maastricht are comfortable on 3–5 GB a week — heavy streamers just go Unlimited.

Maastricht eSIM: your local data guide.

Maastricht feels more Burgundian than Dutch, with café terraces on the Vrijthof, a bookshop inside a medieval church, and tunnels honeycombing the Sint-Pietersberg. A Maastricht eSIM lets you book a guided cave tour, cross the Sint Servaas bridge with maps in hand, and hop the border to Belgium or Germany for the day.

One eSIM for Maastricht and all of Netherlands. It's the national Netherlands eSIM — from $2.21/day with unlimited data, working the same in Maastricht as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.
