Connect
Internet
Finland in general lacks internet cafes as most of the people have connections in their home and in their pocket, and Klaukkala 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 2 Klaukkala Library.
