The Rete Pubblica Milanese provides free Wi-Fi connectivity for the city of Milan, available both inside and outside via two different services. Free Wi-Fi Indoor is available within public buildings and some museum spaces, while Open Wi-Fi Milano functions outside in various piazzas and streets. Users are alloted a daily data limit of 300MB for internet browsing; once you use it up, you have one hour of continued high speed navigation before it drops off until midnight, when the system resets. To access the Wi-Fi, select the openwifimilano network on your device, enter your mobile phone number to register, and your password will be sent to you.

Inside of private establishments, free high-speed Wi-Fi is an increasingly common feature, particularly in hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafés. Simply request the network name and password from the waiter or the front desk. Cybercafés are less and less common on the ground, and likely to be pricey.
