Kaunas🇱🇹

So, thinking about setting up shop in Kaunas? Here's the lowdown. This Lithuanian gem is genuinely affordable. You're looking at around €500 for a 1-bedroom in the center, or €350 outside – pretty sweet for your budget. Groceries are manageable at €200 monthly, and a cheap meal out is just €8. Internet won't be an issue either, boasting a speedy 160 Mbps, and it's a very walkable city (score of 72). Safety is also high at 75. It’s perfect for digital nomads who enjoy a quieter, budget-friendly lifestyle and don't need a massive expat scene (the community is small). English proficiency is medium, so locals are generally approachable if you have questions. The big caveat? While your wallet will be happy, the climate score is only 55, meaning you'll need to embrace those colder, cloudier days. Don't expect endless sunshine. But for the price and solid infrastructure, Kaunas is a solid option for the budget-conscious nomad.
