Florence’s wifi hotspot <\/strong>network is in continuous expansion but the great news is: as of September 2013, thanks to a change of law, access is now free<\/strong> and open. This is where you can get Firenze wifi free internet and some other access points in the city of Florence, Italy.<\/p>\n

Italian law (thanks to the decreto Pisanu) required<\/em> users to register to use internet services, so all of these systems require some form of authentication. Firenze wifi, available most widely in the city, requires the insertion of an Italian cell phone number; a code then reaches you by sms so that you can log in. Paas, on the other hand, has a human authentication system that foreigners can more easily use. Important update – September 3 2013 – due to a legislative change, access to wifi in Florence is now possible without password and registration! With the city’s wifi service you get TWO free hours per day (per device, it seems).

While the city of florence provides a list of sites with free wifi and a very difficult to interpret map. I have taken the list and exported it into excel to place the points on a google map<\/strong> so that you can easily navigate and find the nearest wifi point. Please note that I cannot guarantee accuracy of the points! Also, many have reported trouble connecting to the networks or navigating; unfortunately the system is not perfect :)
