The Marolles and the Sablon have the most cafés with Wi-Fi, ahead of the streets around the Grand-Place and Saint-Gilles. Where a café has no network, the region runs a free one, wifi.brussels, with more than 200 hotspots: you pick it from the list, register with a phone number and an SMS code, and the account then works for a year.1

A few cafés are set up for longer stays. Jackie, at Chaussée de Charleroi 203 in Saint-Gilles, has a coffee salon on the ground floor and a coworking space upstairs, and its owner Gilles set it up in 2021 around independent journalism.2 Girl with the Passport found it quiet, with strong Wi-Fi, in 2023, when a coworking session was paid and came with two drinks.3

Local tip: For a full working day, use the coworking floor upstairs at Jackie, Chaussée de Charleroi 203; away from the cafés, the free wifi.brussels network needs a phone number to sign up.

Where these cafés are: Marolles & Sablon (8), Grand-Place & Centre (7), Saint-Gilles (6), Châtelain & Avenue Louise (5), Sainte-Catherine & Dansaert (4), Schaerbeek & Saint-Josse (4), Flagey & Matonge (4), European Quarter & Etterbeek (4), Uccle & Forest (3), Woluwe & Auderghem (2), Molenbeek & Anderlecht (1).
