Digital Nomads: These are the 7 most popular Airbnbs in Europe for long-term stays

Work in the morning, sightseeing in the afternoon: more and more people are combining work and pleasure. Which destinations in Europe do digital nomads prefer and where do they like to stay.

April 22, 2022


The challenges of the past two years have led to an enormous surge in digitization in almost all areas. What was previously the liberty of a privileged few is now everyday life for a large proportion of people: being able to work wherever you want. The home office is no longer limited to one's own four walls. Digital nomads travel from one place to another, sometimes staying longer and sometimes shorter, combining work and pleasure. And although international destinations like Thailand are booming in this respect, there are still some arguments in favor of a long-term stay in Europe. For example, the well-developed infrastructure, many cafés that are suitable as satellite offices and no time difference. In addition, there are beautiful Airbnbs to choose from.

Digital Nomads are drawn to Barcelona

Vibrant culture, lots of sights and sunshine almost all year round: No wonder many digital nomads are drawn to Barcelona. What's more, the food is great, the people are nice, and you can go to the beach in the afternoon. You can get a cappuccino for around 3 euros and Internet is available everywhere.

Experience Viennese charm

The Austrian capital attracts with its manageability, a lot of history and a plethora of coffee houses. Here you can work on the hip Danube Canal as well as in a rustic guest garden. The city is particularly green and also a good starting point for excursions to nearby Budapest, Bratislava or Prague. Cappuccinos cost an average of 3.55 euros, and the internet is fast.

We still have Paris ...

As one of the most popular travel destinations, France's capital is also popular with digital nomads. This is despite the fact that the city is not at the top of the Nomads ranking. Probably because the Parisian lifestyle, many cafés and the sights make up for the somewhat higher cost of living. Internet costs around 30 euros per month.

Lisbon attracts lovers of life

Lisbon is well on its way to becoming the digital nomad's capital par excellence - at least in Europe. The city in the west of the country offers plenty of culture, warm weather and more than 300 days of sunshine a year. After work, people either go sightseeing or to the beach. For around 40 euros, you can get super-fast Internet for a month, and you can drink a cappuccino for about 2 euros.

Istanbul, Gateway to the Orient

Ever thought about moving to Istanbul for a longer period of time? No? Think again. Because especially for digital nomads, the city between the continents is an exciting option. The cost of living is very low. You can get a month's Internet for 9 euros and a cappuccino for 1 euro. And the rent is also very reasonable. Conversely, this means that in Istanbul you can have a lot more play for less work. Another plus is that the city is a melting pot of cultures, which also translates into excellent food.

Madrid: Where the sun always shines

The Spanish capital on the banks of the Manzanares River scores with modern infrastructure in a historic guise. Sights such as the Royal Palace, the Buen Retiro Park, the Prado Museum and the Palace are just some of the options for free days. The evening after work is best spent in one of the many wonderful rooftop bars of the city. Here, too, you pay around 40 euros per month for Internet, but food is relatively cheap.
