Getting online in Copenhagen is rarely the hard part. Denmark is in the EU, so phones on an EU or EEA plan use mobile data here without extra charges under the roam-like-at-home rules.1 Every branch of the public library also runs a free network called Publikum, with no account or login: you connect and accept the terms of use.2 The main library, at Krystalgade 15 in the center, also has study places.4

A café table is a different matter, because the owner decides how it is used. When cafés began restricting laptops in 2016, the consumer organization Tænk said no rules cover it: each café sets its own policy and only has to put up clear signs about it.3

Local tip: If every café table is taken, the nearest public library has free Wi-Fi on the Publikum network, with no login needed.2

Where these cafés are: Indre By (10), Nyhavn & Frederiksstaden (7), Vesterbro (5), Nørrebro (5), Nordvest & Bispebjerg (4), Valby (3), Christianshavn & Refshaleøen (3), Amager (2), Islands Brygge (2), Frederiksberg (2), Østerbro (2), Nordhavn (1), Sydhavn (1).

Laptop rules and the reasons for them

That year Café Paludan, the book café on Fiolstræde, said it would soon stop laptop use after 18:00, and The Laundromat Cafe was named among the cafés with a ban; most such limits did not apply during the day.3 Owners argued that laptop users take up more space and spend less, and Paludan's head of bar said the café makes its money from people who come to eat.3

Both have Wi-Fi. Paludan serves until 23:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, and the Laundromat Cafe, on Randersgade in Østerbro, until 23:00 every day, so look for a sign before unpacking in the evening.
