Tbilisi Georgia, best digital nomad cities

We did our own research for the best digital nomad cities and rounded up five destinations around the globe that get high marks for several top-of-mind factors for digital nomads, including affordability, agreeable weather and more.

Digital nomad and PR expert Alice Draper believes Cape Town is the most scenically beautiful city in the world. “For digital nomads earning Western currencies, it’s extremely affordable, and you can enjoy a fantastic standard of living,” she says. “The weather is superb, there’s a rich cultural history and South Africans are famously friendly.”

Draper recommends staying on the Atlantic Seaboard for an active social life and being close to other nomads, as well as being near Table Mountain with world-renowned wine regions just a drive away. Music and food festivals are frequent, and there’s no shortage of nightlife.

Canggu has become an immensely popular digital nomad city destination, likely thanks to the beautiful beaches, historic temples and paddy fields. Georgie Darling, travel writer and business strategist, prolonged her stay in Bali. “Post-work time includes anything from surf trips and scuba diving to sunset coconuts and mountain treks.” Her favorite areas in Bali are nearby Pererenan for a quieter atmosphere, Bingin Beach near Uluwatu for surfing and Penestanan just outside Ubud for a dose of spirituality and all the yoga classes you could ask for. As for getting around, scooter taxis are affordable and easier than getting a permit for motorbikes.

Tbilisi is considered extremely affordable for digital nomads. Draper raves about the affordable data packages: “It was so fast; you could do a Zoom call from the top of a mountain.” There are plenty of activities to keep you occupied in your downtime, like soaking in the sulfur baths, visiting museums and galleries, wine tasting or admiring the exquisite architecture. Draper says the Old Town is popular with digital nomads since it’s on the doorstep of tourist attractions like the Narikala fortress and is close to quaint coffee shops, wineries and bars. The Mtatsminda district is also a hit due to its centrality and city atmosphere. For apartment blocks on a grander scale, footpaths and leafy green spaces, check out Vake. Alternatively, you can save on rent by living further out and using public transport or walking. “It’s extremely safe and walkable,” Draper says. “Getting from one end of the city to the other doesn’t take long, so it’s easy to meet up with people.”

Digital nomads in Lisbon love the weather. “With around 300 days of sunshine per year, it’s a top spot,” Darling says. “Lisbon’s prices have risen in recent years, but it’s still more affordable than elsewhere in Western Europe.” She recommends staying in Bairro Alto to be in the heart of the action or Santos for a quieter, picturesque neighborhood.

“With brightly colored tiled walls, incredible food and a constant variety of events for digital nomads, a stay in Lisbon ticks all the boxes, especially during shoulder season,” she says. For day trips, get out of the city and visit the beautiful castles in Sintra or soak up the sun in the seaside town of Cascais.

Medellín’s popularity as a digital nomad destination has surged in the last few years. In the heart of the Andes mountains, Medellín is sometimes referred to as the “City of the Eternal Spring,” with mild weather all year. Due to its affordability, especially for those earning dollars, digital nomads enjoy a high quality of life while staying in Medellín.

“It’s well-loved for its impressive Wi-Fi speeds, great array of co-living spaces and their artsy, cultural scene,” Darling says. She recommends staying in Laureles if you’re a coffee lover or heading to Belén for a more residential option. For nature lovers, the nearby hikes are unmissable.
