Of course, before 2020, the digital nomad population mostly encompassed freelancers. However, in recent years, swathes of full-time remote workers have joined their ranks as they realized that their homes were not the only places with a desk and a stable internet connection.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you\u2019re eager to start experiencing the wide world even on workdays, we compiled a list of some of the best digital nomad destinations around the world. Our starting list included all cities around the world with populations of more than 400,000 residents with complete data in all of our metrics. This list was then further narrowed to 57 by selecting only the best-scoring city from each country to ensure a diverse set of large, well-connected cities that were all-round great choices for digital nomads just joining the lifestyle. Notably, we based our ranking on the cities\u2019 affordability, internet speed, coworking costs, fun factor and safety (read the methodology section at the end for more).<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for something in particular, check out our individual lists of the locations for digital nomads that fared the best in the following individual categories<\/strong><strong>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Most_Affordable\">Most affordable<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Best_Internet\">Best internet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Most_Fun\">Most things to do<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Or, if you\u2019re only interested in digital nomad destinations on a certain continent or area, use the links below to navigate to that respective location:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Asia\">Asia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Africa\">Africa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#North_America\">North America<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#South_America\">South America<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Europe\">Europe<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Oceania\">Oceania<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Bangkok, Shanghai &amp; Bucharest Show Most Promise as Global Digital Nomad Hubs<\/h2>\n<p>Boasting all-round great affordability \u2014 as well as great showings in the rest of our indicators \u2014 <strong>Bangkok, Thailand, claimed the #1 spot<\/strong> in our ranking, far ahead of any competition. Of course, Krung Thep (or \u201ccity of angels,\u201d as it\u2019s known locally) has been attracting crowds of traveling digital workers even before the adoption of remote work. That\u2019s because a low-season hotel room in Bangkok costs $51, on average \u2014 the fifth-lowest cost out of all of the cities on the list \u2014 while Bangkok\u2019s meal cost and coworking membership cost were the fourth- and sixth-lowest, respectively. The city also had the fifth-fastest internet out of all of the cities in our study at 225 MB\/s.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-JPT9V\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important; border: none;\" title=\"The Best Cities for Itinerant Digital Nomads Around the World\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/JPT9V\/2\/\" height=\"558\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Map\" data-external=\"1\"><\/iframe><script type=\"text\/javascript\">!function(){\"use strict\";window.addEventListener(\"message\",(function(a){if(void 0!==a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"]){var e=document.querySelectorAll(\"iframe\");for(var t in a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"])for(var r=0;r<e.length;r++)if(e[r].contentWindow===a.source){var i=a.data[\"datawrapper-height\"][t]+\"px\";e[r].style.height=i}}}))}();\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Bangkok offers a perfect combination of affordability, fun and low barriers to entry. For example, you can be a digital nomad here using only a travel visa that\u2019s renewable every three months. Plus, areas like Salom and downtown Bangkok are rife with both businessmen to network with, as well as trendy coworking offices if you\u2019re looking for a change of space. Additionally, you\u2019ll find great nightlife; cheap and delicious food; and cool cafes in neighborhoods like Thonglor. And, with the rest of Southeast Asia within reach, you can find plenty of opportunities for quiet escapes from this charmingly hectic, 9-million-resident city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The runner-up spot <\/strong>was taken by <strong>Shanghai<\/strong>. Despite being less affordable than Bangkok, Shanghai offered faster broadband internet, with the mention that the Great Firewall may limit digital nomads from using the tools they\u2019re used to. Being one of China\u2019s largest hubs for business, finance and research, digital nomads settling here join a competitive environment that\u2019s primed with potential networks, as long as internet restrictions don\u2019t hinder your day-to-day work.<\/p>\n<p>With all of these benefits \u2014 as well as a vibrant local culture and cuisine \u2014 Shanghai is certainly a strong option when it comes to the best destinations for digital nomads in East Asia and elsewhere. That said, it should be noted that foreign travelers don\u2019t have access to a dedicated digital nomad visa in China as they do in other entries on our list. Even so, you can still apply for a tourist visa if you provide proof of flight tickets and accommodation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The third entry<\/strong> on our list took us across the world to <strong>Bucharest, Romania<\/strong>. Bucharest was similar to Bangkok when it came to its best-scoring metrics. More precisely, it landed between Bangkok and Shanghai in terms of hotel and coworking costs. Moreover, the Eastern European entry was also safer than the previous entries. Romania also boasts some of the fastest internet speeds worldwide (especially in the case of broadband internet) paired with remarkably cheap subscription costs. These advantages making Bucharest a strong contender as one of the best digital nomad destinations are further supplemented by the fact that residents of many countries can live and work in Romania visa-free for up to 90 days, and the country also recently implemented a dedicated digital nomad visa for up to a year.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the table below to see the remaining best cities to stop by as a digital nomad:<\/p>\n<div class=\"infogram-embed\" data-id=\"1ffc747c-89fc-4954-9d51-af6f437c6d4a\" data-type=\"interactive\" data-title=\"Digital Nomads Table I\"><\/div>\n<p><script>!function(e,i,n,s){var t=\"InfogramEmbeds\",d=e.getElementsByTagName(\"script\")[0];if(window[t]&&window[t].initialized)window[t].process&&window[t].process();else if(!e.getElementById(n)){var o=e.createElement(\"script\");o.async=1,o.id=n,o.src=\"https:\/\/e.infogram.com\/js\/dist\/embed-loader-min.js\",d.parentNode.insertBefore(o,d)}}(document,0,\"infogram-async\");<\/script><br \/>\n<a id=\"Most_Affordable\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Best Destinations for Digital Nomads Seeking Affordability<\/h2>\n<p>Traveling can be expensive.

More precisely, that price includes the cost of 30 nights in a hotel at $41 each; an average per-meal cost of $2.20; a public transportation ticket of just $0.30; and a middling monthly coworking cost of $224 for when you need fast internet, conference rooms or other amenities. It\u2019s worth noting here that, in recent years, Hanoi has started to compete with other tech and finance hubs in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore and Bangkok.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 Jakarta, Indonesia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jakarta is the second-most affordable digital nomad destination on our list when estimating monthly costs: The city claims an average low-season hotel room cost of $44 per night, as well as a meal cost of $2.70 \u2014 just slightly above those in Hanoi. Plus, a Regus coworking subscription in Jakarta will only cost you around $135, potentially offering digital nomads who need access to on-demand office amenities the opportunity to save money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 Manila, Philippines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Estimated monthly living expenses in Manila came in at just more than $1,750, making it the third-most affordable city in our study. Notably, hotels in Manila are, on average, the cheapest out of all of the cities in our ranking at just $37 per night. But, the Philippines\u2019 capital\u2019s affordability was kicked down a peg by its higher cost per meal compared to the previous two entries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another established hub in the Southeast Asian business world and beyond, Kuala Lumpur is slightly less affordable than the previous three representatives from the region, coming in at an estimated $1,922 per month. Still, given its low coworking costs and good showings in other indicators, this is another entry you should consider if you\u2019re an economically minded digital nomad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#5 Chennai, India<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Transitioning to South Asia, Chennai, India, made the list as the fifth-most affordable destination for digital nomads, thanks to a combination of the cheapest restaurant meals out of all 57 cities, as well as relatively inexpensive hotels and public transit. So, if you want to work from Chennai while experiencing the city\u2019s unique Tamil culture, you can be sure that it won\u2019t cost you an arm and a leg.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Digital Nomad Cities with the Best Internet<\/h2>\n<p>Many remote jobs require you to have a stable and fast internet connection for regular conferences or sales calls; to be in touch with a team that depends on your work; or to access online tools. However, when you\u2019re traveling the world, fast internet is rarely a certainty. So, to help workers on the go who need to access that shared file now, rather than later, here are the top 10 destinations with the fastest average broadband internet speed for digital nomads:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1650 size-full lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/best-cities-for-digital-nomads-fastest-internet.png\" alt=\"Digital nomad destinations with the fastest internet\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1069\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/best-cities-for-digital-nomads-fastest-internet.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/best-cities-for-digital-nomads-fastest-internet.png?resize=300,267 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/best-cities-for-digital-nomads-fastest-internet.png?resize=768,684 768w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/07\/best-cities-for-digital-nomads-fastest-internet.png?resize=1024,912 1024w\" sizes=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>#1 Calgary, Alberta, Canada<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The third-largest city in Canada is a place for digital nomads to consider due to one particular highlight: The city boasts the fastest average internet speed on our list at 322 MB\/s \u2014 significantly faster than the following entries, thanks to several ISPs that offer download speeds above 1 GB\/s. With a thriving business environment, Calgary is also commonly ranked as one of the most livable cities in the world. The city also fared well in terms of safety, although it did receive lower scores for affordability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 San Antonio, Texas, U.S.A.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the largest economic and cultural hubs in Texas can also pride itself with having some of the fastest broadband internet speeds among all of the cities on our list. With average speeds of approximately 267 MB\/s, digital nomads who want to experience the unique atmosphere of this 1.4-million-resident city don\u2019t have to worry about dropped calls or slow uploads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 Singapore<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The city-state of Singapore has the third-fastest internet on our list with average speeds around 241 MB\/s, thereby ensuring fast transfer of data for digital nomads for whom teamwork is essential. In addition to this advantage \u2014 and the fact that it\u2019s a global business hub \u2014 Singapore is also among the safer cities on the list. And, you\u2019ll never be short on fun, either, with more than 3,300 attractions and things to do here, making it a strong contender as one of the best digital nomad destinations there are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4 Shanghai, China<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With an increasingly digitalized economy, China is boasting faster internet speed year by year \u2014 and that\u2019s especially true in Shanghai. However, if you\u2019re an international digital nomad, you might find it more difficult to receive a Chinese visa compared to other entries on the list. Also keep in mind that, due to strict internet regulations, you may not have access to all of the sites and tools you\u2019re used to without a VPN. However, if you manage to cross these hurdles, Shanghai may be a strong contender for digital nomads who need fast networks. The city\u2019s affordability in terms of hotels, transportation and food is nothing to scoff at, either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#5 Madrid, Spain<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want to log onto work from one of Europe\u2019s history-rich capitals, Madrid is also enticing from the point of view of internet speed. Averaging 226 MB\/s, Madrid\u2019s internet speed is the fifth-best on our list and the best in Europe, ahead of cities such as Lille, France, as well as Copenhagen, Denmark. Still, it should be noted that, of the five cities with the best internet worldwide, Madrid is the most expensive to live in when it came to hotels and transportation. Conversely, coworking is more affordable here than in Calgary, Singapore and Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Best Digital Nomad Destinations When it Comes to Things to Do<\/h2>\n<p>Being a full-time remote worker allows you to travel as you work and turn the entire year into a vacation. However, those precious weekends and after-work hours are wasted if your destination doesn\u2019t have that many things to do.

From the world-renowned shopping and clubbing scene of the Shibuya District to the tech and anime heart of the world in Akihabara and everything in between, there\u2019s always something to experience for workers on the move. In particular, the club and bar scene is incomparable; festivals and other cultural celebrations abound; and there are testaments to Japan\u2019s rich history everywhere. So, if your ideal place to be after work hours is in one of the most bustling and energetic world cities (and you\u2019re ready to afford the premium), then Tokyo can be your new temporary home \u2014 especially as the Japanese government is <a href=\"https:\/\/allwork.space\/2023\/05\/digest-japan-considers-digital-nomad-visa-to-boost-economy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">considering implementing a dedicated digital nomad visa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 Istanbul, Turkiye<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Also known as the City on the Seven Hills, Istanbul is one of Europe\u2019s most bustling and vivid cities with everything from delicious street food to a rich history and plenty of recreational activities. But, with so much to do and explore here, it\u2019s almost a waste to rush through all of the sights and attractions in a week-long holiday. Furthermore, if you\u2019re looking to spend weeks or months in the city while working remotely, know that, in addition to more than 4,700 things to do and see in the city (as listed by TripAdvisor), you\u2019ll also enjoy good affordability compared to other European destinations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 Prague, Czechia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To the northwest, Prague is famous for its historic center, which is registered as a UNESCO Heritage Site, as well as being home to countless trendy cafes and bars. Plus, if you want to enjoy the sights of several eclectic architectural styles during a longer stay as a digital nomad, you\u2019ll have access to more than 4,200 attractions and activities in the Czech capital.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4 Dubai, United Arab Emirates<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another famous tourism hotspot, Dubai is home to numerous instantly recognizable landmarks. Foremost of these is the Burj Khalifa \u2014 the tallest building in the world at 2,716 feet (828 meters) and the uniquely shaped museum-monument dubbed the Dubai Frame. However, these are just two of Dubai\u2019s 4,000+ tourist attractions and fun activities making this a potential destination for digital nomads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#5 Bangkok, Thailand<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thailand\u2019s capital and cultural heart made the top spot on our list thanks to its remarkable affordability and strong score across the board, which included a #5 finish when it came to the number of fun activities and tourist attractions. From the numerous Buddhist temples and palaces to the impressive cultural manifestations and even modern architectural marvels, Bangkok is one of Southeast Asia\u2019s gems for a long-term stay.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Locations for Digital Nomads in Different Parts of the World<\/h2>\n<p>Given the freedom and opportunity of experiencing the world (while still keeping a steady income), becoming a digital nomad can be a highly attractive proposition. As a result, the worldwide number of digital nomads is rapidly growing.<\/p>\n<p>However, joining the movement isn\u2019t as easy as applying for a visa and packing your bags. Beyond ensuring that your income is suitable for the destinations of your choice, keep in mind that the world is a vast and diverse place and make sure that the local culture suits you. This is especially important for nomads who are planning to stay for longer periods at a time. So, whether a certain part of the world seems to resonate with you; you want to start your global exploration closer to home; or you just want to enjoy shorter flights between your temporary residences as a remote worker on the move, we ranked the best cities for digital nomads on different continents.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The visual below features all of the digital nomad destinations included in the study.

Specifically, affordability; a unique and vibrant culture; and great internet are all benefits that nomads settling here can enjoy, thereby making it the most promising destination for any digital nomads with their targets set on Asia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#2 Shanghai, China<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Shanghai is the next-highest-rated city on the continent, with its strongest suit being its high-speed internet (again, if its restrictions don\u2019t pose an issue for your work operations). For just a slightly higher living cost than the #1 entry in Asia, Shanghai is still a promising destination for digital nomads with the right priorities and needs.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#3 Hanoi, Vietnam<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of benefits, affordability is Hanoi\u2019s strongest suit, rather than internet speed. Therefore, if you want to save money while still experiencing one of the region\u2019s most vibrant cities, Hanoi should definitely have your attention.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4 Tokyo, Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tokyo is the fourth-best digital nomad city in Asia with a plethora of activities and sights to experience. Granted, Tokyo may be somewhat less affordable than the previous entries from the continent, but with a great safety index and good internet speeds, it\u2019s still one of Asia\u2019s best destinations for digital nomads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#5 Chennai, India<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The beating heart of India\u2019s Coromandel Coast ranks as the fifth-best Asian city for digital nomads to settle in. More precisely, Chennai features another mix of affordability paired with a good safety index.

However, the real Moroccan city offers far more than its Hollywood version for any prospective digital nomads. In fact, by combining both traditional architecture with modern office buildings, Casablanca is both a hot tourist destination, as well as a global business hub.<\/p>\n<p><strong>#4 Cape Town, South Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cape Town came in fourth among the best African cities for digital nomads working remotely.
