Is the Wi-Fi fast enough for video calls?

Yes. The median crowd-tested download speed is fast enough for HD video calls, with most coworking spaces well above the 10 Mbps minimum Zoom recommends. Cafes vary more, so check individual listings.

Are day passes worth it?

Usually, yes. A day pass costs less than a few coffees and gives you reliable speeds, AC or heating, and proper desks. Most nomads mix 2-3 coworking days with cafe mornings.

What is the best time to work there?

Mornings are quietest everywhere. Coworking spaces fill after 10am; cafes empty out around 3pm. If you need silence, libraries are the safest bet.

Is there good eSIM coverage?

Yes. Major travel eSIM providers cover the city with 4G or 5G, and you can activate before you land. Coverage is strongest in central districts.

How much should I budget per month?

A solo nomad working primarily from cafes and 8-10 coworking day passes per month should budget for rent, a coworking membership or day passes, food, and transport — see the cost breakdown above for current estimates.

Which neighborhoods are best for remote workers?

The areas with the highest concentration of workspaces are covered in the map above. Look for walkable districts with several cafés and at least one full coworking space within 15 minutes.
