A pilot program exploring the benefit and use of free WiFi in Utrecht has begun. For the rest of the year, free WiFi will be available at four of the city’s main squares: Domplein, Neude, Stadhuisplein, and Vredenburg.
It kicked off at Neude last Friday and I stopped by on Saturday and sure enough, it was working. The rest of the squares have gone online this week. So if you’re in town and want some free WiFi access, now you know where to go. No special passwords needed.
Edited 6/10/14: By the end of 2014, there will be free wifi throughout the city center and it will also be available at Griftpark and Willhelminapark.
Edited: July 2015: There is free wifi throughout the city center and at the spots mentioned above, as well as on Biltstraat and other individual locations outside the city center. In other words, there is extensive free wifi throughout Utrecht. Enjoy!

It’s good to know! 🙂
About time!
If only I had a mobile phone that could actually go online 🙂 Good initiative though!
Does it seem like the wi-fi speed is what it needs to be to actually do stuff online? Though it looks awesome for the out-of-towners needing a quick Google map.
I honestly have no idea. I only tried it briefly to send a status update to Facebook, since that’s about all my ancient phone will let me do anyway.
