How to get free WiFi in Milan?

Starting from the point of your arrival, the airport, you can get instant access to the internet. Altough the WiFi networks you get on your smartphone or table show that they require a password, some networks may be titled “guestwifi” which will not need a password. The airport probably has one or two cafes, maybe a restaurant, which will probably offer WiFi, but not necessarily free, so you might need to buy something in order to get access to free internet connection.

Leaving for the city using the Milan airport taxi, you will arrive to your hotel which will most likely offer you free WiFi, as you are their guest. When going into the city keep in mind that there are plenty of hotspots all around. Milan is filled with shopping malls where you can get internet if you need. You can also stay outside of places like Starbucks, KFC, McDonalds which all offer free WiFi and you don’t need to enter their actual space.
