There are numerous reasons why remote worker life in Prague has become such an attractive notion among digital nomads. The city is aesthetically stunning - the architecture around “the City of Hundred Spires” is some of the most iconic in Europe and the world. Walking along the cobbled streets of the Old Town, you are also likely to find excellent cafes, restaurants and perhaps even breweries with laptop-friendly spaces where you can work uninterrupted for a few hours right in the heart of the city. Among the many great neighborhoods are the hip Holesovice and Vinohrady, alternative and young, giving the city a modern feel even among all the history on show. Beyond its urban centers, Prague feels fresh and comfortable, with its many green spaces bolstering a very high quality of life for remote workers.

Certainly the city’s affordability is a hugely attractive aspect of remote worker life in Prague. For just under 900USD you can find a spectacular, 1-bedroom apartment right in one of the city’s prime neighborhoods. For less than that, you can certainly find fully-furnished studios and rooms in shared houses also in great locations. Groceries are certainly cheaper here than in major American and Western Europeans cities, and there are plenty of markets around the city where you can find fresh produce for lower prices. Admittedly, Prague may not be as cheap as other popular destinations in the region such as Bucharest and Budapest, but it is certainly a developed city which can offer a high standard of living for a relatively low price.

You can also expect remote worker life in Prague to be filled with culture. Indeed, this is one of the major cultural hubs around the world. Major venues such as the Estates Theater and the National Theater have in the past seen the premiere of major cultural works by Mozart and others. The city’s ballet, opera and symphony are all renowned across the world for the quality of their works, and recitals and shows are frequent in some of the city’s best venues. Prague is also home to a vibrant underground culture with lots of venues hosting independent musicians and bands around the city every night. Hundreds of music festivals and concerts are held around the city every year.

Beyond its many cultural offerings, you’ll also find that you have easy access to nature in Prague. The city is filled with squares, gardens and parks where you can catch a breath of fresh air even in the heart of the city. Indeed, the Vltava River also flows life into the city and accentuates its beauty. Across the river from the Old Town, Petrin Gardens offer vast green areas and lots of picnic spots, as well as a funicular ride up to Petrin Hill where you can get sweeping views of the city. And within a relatively short distance from Prague, there are all kinds of villages, cities and towns to explore, such as the stunning Cesky Krumlov.

Overall, remote worker life in Prague will be comfortable. Easy access to fast wifi and plenty of coworking spaces and laptop-friendly cafes make Prague a city well-equipped to host remote workers from around the world. On top of that, you can add a high degree of safety and good levels of English among locals. With an established expat community here, growing numbers of digital nomads in the city continue to make Prague feel increasingly international and cosmopolitan.
