How to Find WiFi in Breckenridge, Colorado

If you're having a great time in Breckenridge, CO, and you just can't wait to write to your friends, you are in luck. Breckenridge is one of the most connected towns in Summit County. At some WiFi hot spots, such as Starbucks, you'll have to pay for access. Others provide it for free. However, if you are in an establishment that serves food or beverages, it goes without saying that you should at least order a cup of coffee.

Things You'll Need

• Laptop

Instructions

1. Go to the Breckenridge Station building, which is located right near the gondola and the free Summit Stage Bus. The building has lots of tables, a soda and snack machine, a water fountain and restrooms. Since it's hardly ever used, this is a good place to work if you need privacy. It's also a great spot to get photos of either the gondola, town or mountain. You can take the photos and then immediately upload them to your PC.

2. Visit the Breckenridge Public Library, located at 504 Airport Road. This is a good option if you have not brought your PC. However, there is often a waiting list for the computers, and there may be a one-hour limit.

3. Walk to 131 South Main Street, where you'll find Clint's Bakery. There are many plugs available at the tables downstairs. The coffee is great, and the snacks are tasty. If you'll be here for a days and you tend to drink a lot of coffee, get one of their coffee cards. Unlike the Starbucks down the street, WiFi is free.

4. Go to the visitor's center at 203 South Main Street. WiFi is free, but there are not many places to sit. There is usually one chair available at the back of the visitor's center, near the Breckenridge Heritage Alliance desk. You can also sit outside and get WiFi but be warned, this hot spot runs hot and cold.

5. Have lunch at the Crown Restaurant, which is located next to the visitor's center. WiFi is free, but will require a password. The restaurant is set up with comfortable Victorian sofas, so it's a nice place to work. However, it gets crowded during lunch time, so you may want to reconsider spending too much time at a table during the hours of 12 and 2 p.m.

Tips & Warnings

• If you spend a good deal of time online, a Sprint card might be a good investment, because it will allow you to connect from almost any domestic location.

• Many of the WiFi spots that are listed on various Internet sites no longer exist. Call the phone number before visiting.
