What it's actually like here

Living here as a digital nomad offers a surprisingly affordable lifestyle, especially when compared to Western Europe. You can stretch your budget impressively without sacrificing comfort. It’s ideal for those seeking a unique cultural experience in a historical setting, and it truly offers a good value for your money. The internet is generally fast and reliable, making remote work a breeze, and public transport is quite efficient. There's a moderate but growing community of nomads and expats, so it's easy enough to connect with like-minded individuals. English proficiency is moderate, so you'll get by, but learning some basic local phrases will definitely enrich your experience. The city feels generally safe, even when exploring after dark. The primary caveat? Be prepared for occasional infrastructure quirks – things might not always be as polished as you're used to, but it's part of the adventure.
