What it's actually like here

Living as a digital nomad here offers a genuinely affordable experience, especially when compared to Western Europe. It's a fantastic fit for those seeking a vibrant, diverse culture without breaking the bank. You'll find a large, active nomad community, making it easy to connect and build a network. The internet is generally fast and reliable, perfect for remote work, and setting up residency is remarkably straightforward for many nationalities. While the city is generally safe, especially during the day, it's always wise to be aware of your surroundings at night. Air quality can be moderate at times, which is something to consider if you have sensitivities. However, the overall low cost of living, combined with a rich history and delicious food, makes it a compelling choice for long-term stays.
