Co-Working spaces in Europe

The wifi connection in our Airbnb was rather slow and that's why we decided to work in a co-working space. Here's a small list of pros and cons, based on my experience working in different European co-working spaces so far. Disclaimer: my experience is highly limited and therefore highly biased.

Pros:
  • usually fast wifi and all kinds of office supplies like e.g. a printer
  • kitchen with a fridge where you can store your lunch or groceries if you come more often
  • great opportunity to network and meet other internationals but also locals who are highly supportive and willing to share their insights
Cons:
  • you pay ~25€/day
  • if you don't have a permanent membership, you won't get an external monitor
  • digital nomads are still rare; most people in co-working spaces are regular visitors and therefore already know each other; it's challenging to form meaningful connections if you're only staying at a place short-term
