- Shopping centre: While shopping, you can access the Internet wirelessly and free of charge in many large shopping centres.
- Library: Even though you have to be quiet here at all times, the library is great for surfing via WLAN.
- On the road: If you are travelling by long-distance bus, you can often use WLAN here too. You can also find free hotspots at train stations or airports.
- Travel hotspot: With a travel hotspot, you can have Wi-Fi everywhere you go. However, you have to pay something for it.
