Rome🇮🇹

Living in the Eternal City as a digital nomad? It’s a good-but-not-great choice for the budget-conscious. A 1-bedroom in the center will set you back about €1100, dropping to €800 outside. While groceries are reasonable at €320 a month, a mid-range restaurant meal averages €50, so dining out frequently adds up. This sweet spot of a monthly budget and excellent lifestyle score suits those with a steady income, not early-stage nomads counting every euro. The digital infrastructure is solid: expect 140 Mbps internet speeds and a decent number of coworking spaces (40) to keep you productive. English proficiency is medium, so knowing some Italian will greatly enhance your experience. Safety is good, and the walkability is fantastic (score 72), letting you soak in the history. The major caveat? While the visa ease is "easy," navigating Italian bureaucracy can be a slow, patience-testing endeavor – prepare for some red tape!
