WLAN is the German word for Wi-Fi, and Mitte has the most cafés that offer it, followed by Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Friedrichshain. Laptop rules vary from café to café, and they often differ between weekdays and weekends.

Outside, BVG-Wifi has covered all 175 U-Bahn stations since 2016 and is being fitted to all 381 trams; you pick the network and connect without a password.1 The city's own Free WiFi Berlin pilot, about 2,000 access points at some 500 sites, went offline at the start of 2022, when its contract ran out and operation had to be put out to tender again.2

Local tip: Plan weekend laptop work around the rules: Hallesches Haus and Blumental allow laptops only on weekdays, while westberlin on Alexandrinenstraße, open Wednesday to Sunday from 11:00, welcomes them at weekends too.3
