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 Loppi Library 📍

Post offices

Loppi has a one post office, located in the town centre (at the K-Market Loppi, Kauppatie 7).

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.
