With over 35 million digital nomads globally, the rising cost of living is increasingly relevant to location-independent workers. To help, we analyzed the 2023-2024 living costs across 28 European capitals, covering essentials like rent, transport, groceries, electricity, and mobile data, plus extras like visas and coworking spaces. This gives you a clear view of monthly expenses before choosing your next work base.

* This study analyzed average costs for rent, food, and utilities in 27 European capitals, using 2023-2024 data from Numbeo. Rent was based on one-bedroom apartments both inside and outside city centers. Utilities (electricity, heating, cooling, water, waste, internet) were calculated for an 85m² apartment. Workspace costs averaged prices from Regus and SpaceWorks, with six cities excluded due to lack of offers. Public transportation costs, excluding discounts, were sourced from official websites. Mobile internet costs included a minimum of 10 GB with 60 Mbps speed.
