Living here as a digital nomad? It’s a chic experience, but don't expect deep discounts. A 1-bedroom in the center runs about €1400, dropping to €1000 outside. So, while not budget-basement, it's manageable if you earn well. Groceries are around €340 monthly, and a nice meal out for two is €55 – not cheap eats, but quality. This city is perfect for the established nomad who values style, culture, and a solid work-life balance over extreme frugality. The infrastructure is great: 160 Mbps internet keeps you connected, and there's a medium-sized nomad community with 45 coworking spaces. English proficiency is high, so language barriers aren't a massive hurdle. Safety is a respectable 75, and the healthcare index is 80, offering peace of mind. The one honest caveat? While the overall lifestyle score is high (80), the budget score is only 48. This isn't a place for stretching every last euro. It’s for those who appreciate the finer things and are willing to pay for them, enjoying excellent walkability and a pleasant climate.
