An eSIM is an embedded SIM card, and you probably already have an eSIM-compatible device. When you install an eSIM for a country or region, it lets your device connect to local networks in that area. This means your device will have data without needing Wi-Fi or paying roaming charges.
Belgium is known around the world as the “Diamond Capital of the World” for its extensive global diamond trade. This European destination is also famous for its castles, varieties of local beer, and, of course, its rich Belgian chocolates!
If you’re jetting off to Belgium anytime soon, you may be worried about staying connected with your loved ones back home. That’s where a Belgium eSIM can help! It will give your phone access to local data to stay online when there isn’t Wi-Fi availability.
How much travel data you may need in Belgium will depend on your activities once you step out of your hotel and lose access to Wi-Fi. While sightseeing, you may want to browse information online or upload pictures on any social media app, this will require data!
Luckily, with a Belgium eSIM, you will always have immediate access to data wherever you are! You can start with a basic data plan and add more if it’s needed.
We also have a travel data calculator to help you estimate how much data you’ll need for your trip.
Not at all! When you’re using a Belgium eSIM for data, you’re telling your device NOT to “roam.” Your Belgium eSIM will connect your device to a local network, giving you prepaid data to use during your trip.
(Make sure you’ve turned off Data Roaming on your Primary SIM to prevent your home carrier from adding roaming charges to your next bill).
The small country of Belgium is home to a wealth of historical landmarks, cultural hubs, and breathtaking landscapes. Here are some must-visit sites.
Atomium: One of Brussels’ most iconic sights, this unique landmark was originally built in 1958 for the Brussels World’s Fair.
Grote Markt (The Grand Place): The best way to enjoy this picturesque town square is on foot! It’s located in the center of Brussels’ old city quarter, which is home to a lavish city hall, restaurants, and cafés.
Gravensteen: This medieval fortress is surrounded by a fortified, oval-shaped battlement and features lovely hallways, narrow tower staircases, and high ceiling rooms.
Get ready to fall in love with Belgian cuisine by trying these three tasty dishes on your trip.
Frietjes/Frites: These Belgian fries are thicker and double-fried to a beautiful crisp, golden color, so don’t expect them to be like “French fries.”
Waterzooi: This hearty, creamy chicken or fish stew with a thickened vegetable broth, and an egg yolk on top will warm you up during the chilly winters of Belgium.
Filet Américain (Steak Tartare): This popular dish features raw ground beef, with the addition of parsley, egg yolk, raw or pickled onion, or Tabasco sauce to enhance the flavor.
Belgium is a year-round vacation spot, pick your travel time based on what you hope to do and see!
July and August: Summers are ideal for visiting the coastal beaches in Belgium. Popular music festivals like the Brussels Summer Festival, the Ghent Festival, and Tomorrowland can also be enjoyed this time of year.
September to November: Lesser crowds and lower costs can be found in the fall season, along with exciting festivals like the Flanders Film Festival in Ghent. Also, this is a great time to head to the Ardennes Forest to enjoy the fresh air and natural landscapes of Belgium.
December to February: In the winter, head inland to cross-country ski in the Ardennes or ice skate on the frozen lakes and canals in cities like Bruges and Ghent. And don’t miss the famous Brussels Christmas Market!
When visiting Belgium, don’t overpack! Here is a list of items you may consider taking with you on your trip to Belgium.
Filtration Water Bottle: As it filters out harmful bacteria, this bottle is especially great for travel!
Waterproof Shoes: Belgium gets rain throughout the year, particularly in the spring and fall. Be sure your shoes or sneakers have a rugged bottom and are waterproof so you’ll stay dry and won’t slip.
Body Wipes: Since you’ll probably be busy and on-the-go while in Belgium, these body wipes will help you to feel clean and fresh.
