I’m in Budapest for the next 3 weeks. any nomads want to grab a drink?
I know this is a super old thread but it is my exact same question. I’ll be in Budapest from May 15-June 15 and would love to grab a drink or coffee or something with any digital nomads in town.
Anyone still in Budapest? Moving there in 2 weeks for about 2 months.
sorry, just saw this… I’ll be around until the 9th… if you are still in town…
Hello there! I think me and a friend of mine will be in the city this evening. Still around?
Hi there, I am planning to work remote from Budapest for about 3 weeks. I typically like to work from Starbucks so I wanted to find out which ones are the largest and better for working.
The ones that I found so far that seem a bit bigger are this ones:

Believe it or not - the Aquarium Klub is an open space library-vibe study area during the day with couches/tables/etc, and its totally free AND the WiFi speed is close to 100mbps. I stumbled upon it on a whim and my jaw actually dropped when I tested the speed.
I personally found myself tethering a lot in Budapest, but there were some cafes to work from as well. Espresso Embassy is a nice place, Budapest Baristas, Tamp & Pull, and My Little Melbourne.
HI, I’m from Argentina: new to Nomad List, and to digital nomad life in general
I want to travel to Budapest on March for two months, can anyone recommend
the best area to stay?
What are you looking for exactly? I stayed there last month and loved it. Very affordable, great food, lots to do day and night, people are friendly … in their own way - oh and also its a great place to become an alcoholic if that’s on your bucket list.
The Danube splits the city into two sides. The Buda side to the west is more residential with only two or three big attractions, the Pest side has much more attractions and all of the nightlife. Getting around is incredibly easy. You could walk the length of it in an hour, and the public transit system is excellent.
Let me know more about what you’re looking for and I’d be happy to give you recommendations
Hey everyone - I’m new here, and this may be a dumb question, but I need some help! As a U.S. citizen, can I fly into Budapest from London without a return ticket?
Hey!
Not sure if still relevant, but for posterity’s sake, I’m not aware of any limitations for US citizens, even though the press was pretty loud of reports about “the end of visa-free travel for US citizens in the EU”, no binding changes have been implemented (that I know of anyway). So yes you should be able to fly in without an issue on a tourist/business trip.
We are a group of freelancers working from home in Budapest and we are thinking about to open our own co-working space in the city. From freelancers to freelancers. Not in the hearth of the city (out of noise) but 10 minutes from the centre on the main tramline. (No. 4-6.) Friendly mood, 24/7 open, only environmental friendly solutions, good coffee, healthy food, sandwiches, snacks and beverages, proper price. Opinions?!
Actually the place would be 10 mins from the city centre on the Buda side where people mostly living. It’s on the main tramline and on a bike road so people can come over really easily.
There are some cafes nearby which calling themselves co-working space but in reality they have average internet connection and usual cafe place environment. Instead we would provide comfortable desks with HD displays to use for free. Does it make sense?
Having tried this in Melbourne, I think you will be much better off in the city centre where people can find you easily. You can deal with noise in other ways.
I’m heading there next week and was looking at coworking space options. I’d be much more likely to pick the place closest to me as opposed to going out of the city and needing to pay and figure out a tram ticket to get there; unless you had something worth it like cheaper entrance, better internet, better food and drink or just a cooler “space” (honestly that is not that impt to me though as much as fast internet, cheap entrance and near where I’m staying)
Go for it, guys! New co-working places are just that cool. Good luck! Budapest is a very nice city in my opinion with relatively low prices, I think many nomads do make it there. On the downside, Schengen with a 90 days limit : )

To be quite honest, the old town of BRATISLAVA is easy to finish in 1 day + the outer parts of it. Seemed quite mischevious in some ways with the people over there or maybe I am just confusing it with KOSICE which is by far one of the awful experiences I have had in SLOVAKIA.

Airbnbs are 40-50 euros per night (central ones). Dinner would be anywhere from 5 to 10 euros and even more if you go to the fanciest restaurants. There's a decent tech scene around (lots of software engineers in the city). I'm living in Timisoara since 2011.

The same people you'd see in Ubud or Koh Pha Ngan or Goa, you'll see in Graz. Speaking of the people, they're nice, but they won't smile at you in public mostly.

And I guess it's nice if you want to live here for a long time, since it's quite safe and clean. But it's borderline impossible to live and work here short-term as a nomad. There's no good cafes to work from, the coworkings here are of extremely mediocre to bad quality here. Except for greaaaat Asian food, other food is difficult to get, there's either affordable takeaway fast food or expensive in-door fancy dining re

I really wanted to enjoy it, but unfortunately it turned out to be one of my least favourite cities. Perhaps it was just me, but there was an overwhelming sense of distrust and dislike towards foreigners, you have to try pretty hard to blend in if you want to experience the life of a local & avoid the tourism. I met some wonderful people and and there’s some cool communities to be part of, but another extended stay

Food is cheap and everywhere, easy to go out and have fun/meet for business. Rent has crept up but still far better value than where I came from. Internet: 36 EUR/month get me 450/40 mbps (cable -> DOCSIS 3.0) Public transport is 2.70 EUR/ticket. No woman I know has said they felt unsafe. Some really odd, xenophobic sounding comments on here. Biggest downsides IMO: service quality at restaurants - not that people are rude, but they don't seem to particular

Would not want to live in the actual city center (inside the "grachtengordel") but have been living in East for over 2 years now and aside from the price (and size) of apartment life is just good here. Biking everywhere is bliss. Winter can be cold though.

I find Parisians are actually very patient and warm if you at least attempt to speak French; in my experience, most people who complain that they're rude are the ones making zero effort to speak the language. Expensive though and not very easy to meet other nomads.

I would agree that the weather is perfect and Barcelona does have a great tech scene as well as food and has everything landscape and lifestyle wise that you could think of. Bureaucracy isn't too bad if you nip it in the bu** early and have patience. Also, some clubs are free. (Jamboree!). The metro is also, very efficient with red and purple being the busiest lines. Very walkable city too. Plenty of opportunity to meet people as well. The beaches are ok

For visiting tourists, the best neighborhood to stay in is NOT Bushwick. Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Ft. Green or Brooklyn Heights is preferable. Plenty of good transportation in those areas - subway, buses or Uber. Easy access to beaches in Long Island and New Jersey. There's plenty to do in NYC. Great restaurants, Broadway plays (!), and in the summer you frequently can catch a free concert.

It is still great and you can find really cheap apartments (300-400$) and restaurants (2-3$ for a main). Wouldn't recommend staying there during the burning season. The best area is Nimman, but it's also the most expensive. You can stay in the old city that's very nice but that gets noisy during the weekend for the night markets. Last but not least, very safe city. All in all would go back in a heartbeat.

If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk from the BTS, then you can easily get a one bedroom apartment for 300 USD per month, in a high class condo, plus with free golf cart ser

Fast forward, 3 years later, I went by myself to KL for a 3 days stay on a visa run from Chiang Mai. I stayed in a hotel near Bukit Bintang.
