Internet

Finland in general lacks internet cafes as most of the people have connections in their home and in their pocket, and Askola is no exception. Many of the places of business do have wi-fi for customers (although it's usually called "WLAN"); ask the staff for details. For free wi-fi and internet terminals, check the both libraries of the municipality: Askola Municipal Library 📍 and Monninkylä Library 📍.

Stay safe

In emergencies, 112 (free from all phones) . This includes social services, although for non-urgent matters you could contact the social services directly.
