I plan to blog about my trip to Europe so it’s going to be important to have Internet access while on the road.

Less Than A Shoestring listed cities that offer free wifi connection in various categories:

First, all the cities that have real, honest-to-goodness *free* access in a public space — often municipally provided — to the internet:

• Athens
• Berlin
• Bern
• Brussels 1 (prior software download required)
• Helsinki
• Luxembourg
• Madrid
• Paris
• Rome 1 (mobile number required)
  

Next, all the cities where you shouldn’t have to hunt too hard to find an WLAN-friendly cafe or chain restaurant offering online access:

• Bratislava
• Brussels 2
• Budapest
• Copenhagen
• London
• Moscow
• Prague
• Riga
• Sofia
• Tallinn
• Vienna
• Warsaw

It’s harder than it should be in:

• Amsterdam
• Dublin
• Lisbon
• Ljubljana
• Oslo
• Rome 2
• Stockholm
• Vilnius

It’s not impossible, but best of luck to you in:

• Bucharest
• Malta
• Nicosia
• Reykjavik

For specific areas, I intend to consult free-hotspot.com, which provides a map to show the exact location of places that offer free wifi.
