The short answer
The trip is a train trip, Berlin or Cologne to Amsterdam on the same ticket, and the border passes while you look at the window. I priced the Europe plans that include both countries on 25 October 2026. The plan I would buy is Ringo Light, $22.99 for 2 weeks or $35.99 for 30 days of unlimited data at full speed. For 3 days Airalo is cheapest at $11.50, and for a 10 GB bucket Ubigi at $15.
One eSIM for both countries: unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks at $22.99 or 30 days at $35.99, nothing renews. Airalo Eurolink asks $49 for 15 days and $71 for the month.
10 GB for 30 days at $15 across 38 countries. Its 15 days is 30 GB at full speed, then 2 Mbps, for $35.
Eurolink covers 41 countries, with Germany and the Netherlands among them. 3 days of unlimited at $11.50, 5 GB a day at full speed.
Days, not gigabytes, in 33 countries. No daily cap stated for your own phone; sharing limited to 1 GB a day. $27.50 for a week.
Prices read on 25 October 2026: Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi on their own sites or listings, Ringo Light from its catalogue. All in US dollars unless stated. Treat every number as a snapshot.

What to do in Germany and the Netherlands, and what your phone needs for it
Eight places that often fill a trip from Berlin and Munich to Amsterdam and the Dutch countryside, with the one thing your data does for you at each. One regional eSIM stays on across the border between them.
One plan for both countries: Ringo Light
Germany and the Netherlands are neighbours with an open border and a fast train between them, and one regional eSIM does the job for both. It goes on before you fly, and nothing changes at Emmerich or Venlo. Two country eSIMs mean two installs, two bills and a line to switch on the platform. For a loop through Berlin, Cologne and Amsterdam, one plan is less to remember.
On price the regional plan is ahead too. Ringo Light's Europe trips are $22.99 for 2 weeks and $35.99 for 30 days, unlimited data at full speed. The rivals' regional unlimited runs $49 for 15 days at Airalo Eurolink, $49.99 at Saily and $51.50 at Holafly, and $71 to $76.50 for a month. Ubigi asks $35 for 15 days but slows to 2 Mbps after 30 GB.
Here is the sum I made. Germany's 2 weeks is $16.99 and the Netherlands' $14.99 on their own pages, $31.98 together, against $22.99 for the Europe trip that covers both. For a month it is $26.99 and $26.99, $53.98 together, against $35.99. The country plans are for people who stay put.
Which plans cover both countries
Germany and the Netherlands are both EU countries and sit in the core of every Europe list. The only lists I could confirm are the ones on the Europe page I priced. Ringo Light covers 33 countries, the EU countries plus the UK, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Gibraltar, so both are in. Airalo Eurolink covers 41 countries, both in. Holafly lists 33 countries, Saily 35, Nomad 35 on its unlimited plans and Ubigi 38.
For Holafly, Saily, Nomad and Ubigi I could not confirm a country by country list on the day. Look for Germany and the Netherlands on the checkout screen, and add Belgium or Denmark to your check if the train takes you through them.
If you want a data bucket: Ubigi or Nomad
- Ubigi, $15 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB for 30 days across 38 countries. 25 GB is $29, and a 20 GB monthly plan at $19 that renews until you cancel it.
- Nomad, $23 for 10 GB. And 20 GB for 30 days at $27, the cheapest one-off 20 GB here.
- Airalo, $31 for 10 GB. Eurolink 20 GB for 30 days is $48, and Eurolink covers the most countries.
- Saily, $35.99 for 10 GB. From saily.com, 25 October 2026.
- ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. If you only need maps and tickets across Germany and the Netherlands, Ubigi's 10 GB at $15 is $7.99 under Ringo Light's 2 weeks, and Nomad's 20 GB at $27 is $8.99 under its 30 days. I would buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. I would rather you hear that from me now.
What Ringo Light is
Ringo Light is the data eSIM Ringo sells to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. I write for Ringo, so weigh that. For Germany and the Netherlands it sells the Europe trip across 33 countries, unlimited data at full speed: 2 weeks at $22.99 and 30 days at $35.99. Nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app. Over the Dutch border it moves to a local network on its own.
The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.
Pick by trip
Ringo Light sells no 7-day plan, so I would take its 2 weeks at $22.99, which costs less than any rival's 7 days. For a long weekend, Airalo Eurolink 3 days at $11.50.
Ringo Light unlimited, 2 weeks, $22.99. Both countries on one eSIM, $8.99 under the two country plans.
Ringo Light unlimited, 30 days, $35.99. Ubigi at $62 if you want a fixed 60 GB.
Ubigi 10 GB for 30 days at $15, valid in Germany and the Netherlands.
Check the country list at checkout before you pay. I did not confirm a rival's full list for either one.
None of these travel plans does that. The full Ringo, which Ringo Light funds, ports the number you have.

How we compared, and our sources

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.
Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.
Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
