Amerryscot Posted July 21, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I thought it would be a good idea to share free wifi tips for the various ports. Palma - we used the Tui wifi on the coach to/from the airport. This only required accepting terms and conditions. Villefranche - we used the wifi provided by the restaurant where we had lunch - enough bandwidth for a Facebook check in and sorting out our various kindles. Livorno - we took a taxi to Pisa and had a brilliant, fast connection. The taxi driver gave us the code. I was able to upload loads of photos in no time. Rapallo - no luck, ended up turning on 3G Toulon - we spent the day at a full-service beach and used their excellent wifi. Barcelona - free city Wifi on the Colon end of La Rambla, and the restaurant wifi where we stopped for a Sangria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzseeka Posted July 21, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Good idea for a thread. Here are some for Norway/Iceland Reykjavik: http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g189970-d2191582-Reviews-Laundromat_cafe-Reykjavik_Capital_Region.html Good cakes too! Oslo: Espresso House Olav V's Gate (there are several in the city but this is just off the main square opposite the McD's - guess there was some there too). Cafe came recommended from the girl in the tourist office and we loved the ambience, decor and food! http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/espresso-house-oslo-6 Kristiansand; Hos Naboen, Markensgate 19A - cafe Lerwick: Fine Peerie Cakes cafe on the main street just past Boots. Best pecan pie and cream scones all trip! Also cheapest! Torshavn: Now this is a mouthful! Smyrjibreyds (or some version of that!) cafe. It's a the top of the main street on the right just before you hit the main road where you can catch the local bus. http://www.visittorshavn.fo/place_show.php?Id=45&l=en Geiranger - we had problems although we did spot a hot spot at the camp site but thought perhaps we had to be booked in to use it. Perhaps there may have been some available elsewhere but there was none at the Museum/Visitor Centre. Bergen The tourist information centre. (Sadly not the beautiful building with the frescoes any longer - that's now a restaurant but the porta cabin look alike structure on the harbourside.)

joeholiday2 Posted July 21, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 21, 2014 This isn't a bad list, not sure how up to date it is, and I'm sure there are many they have left off: http://crew-center.com/crew-wifi-locations-ports-worldwide Gibraltar is good in the port terminal, I gave up at the terminal in Athens, was very slow when I eventually got online. Best advice is as always.... follow the crew:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venice Paid for 2 rounds of drinks and 2 sandwiches to use the free wifi in an Irish Pub and the signal was so weak it was a waste of time!

Koper - we had very good Wifi on the beach in Portoroz - enough to upload videos to Facebook. Venice - in a bar right next to Rialto Bridge.
