Coworking Spaces in Europe: Ideal Spots for Work and Travel in 2025

There are some excellent coworking spaces all across Europe where people can share space with other remote workers, meet people who are involved in different projects, and potentially make friends and new colleagues.

What Are Coworking Spaces?

Coworking spaces are essentially hot-desking office environments with high-speed wifi and plentiful power outlets where people can plug in their laptops. They often have extra screens for coders to use as well. They are designed to help people get their work done from a different location to their home or local office and are often used by digital nomads.

Coworking spaces often act as a hub for remote workers to meet other transient workers and to make new friends and they often host events so that people who take out a membership can meet each other socially. They tend to have flexible pricing structures and offer good value for the workers.

There is often free coffee and/or snacks offered as part of the package to use in the coworking space, and this can help to increase productivity and sociability amongst patrons.

The Rise of Coworking Culture Among Digital Nomads

The availability of coworking spaces has been a large contributing factor in enticing digital nomads to certain locations for some time now. The mountain village of Bansko in Bulgaria is a prime example of this. Some enterprising people decided that this off-season ski resort would be the perfect place for a digital nomad paradise in the summer and started Coworking Bansko.

It has been successful to the point that there are now several competing coworking places, including Altspace and Nest Coworking in Bansko, and they are all busy during the summer when the weather is sunny and around 30C most days.

The coworking model is one that appeals to many more sociable digital nomads, and others are happy to just work from a comfortable cafe or apartment while sometimes attending events at the coworking spaces that are open to anyone.

Why Europe Is a Top Destination for Work and Travel

Europe is a great destination for both work and travel because of the sheer range of countries within it. You can go from the white sandy beaches of the Greek islands to the historic beauty of Rome or the chic dining experiences of Paris. You can be clubbing in Ibiza one week and sipping a pint of Guinness in Dublin the next, or watching Barcelona playing football in the Nou Camp stadium.

The variety of landscapes, cultural experiences, culinary adventures, languages and people to meet is unparalleled. That all this is stretched into a single continent with freedom of movement between countries is even more incredible. A Schengen visa will cover the whole of Europe for 90 days out of 180, so you can travel Europe for 3 months on a single visa.

Cost Break Down of Coworking Spaces in Europe

Most Coworking spaces in Europe will offer daily access anywhere from 5 euros per day to 20 euros per day and most monthly passes are somewhere between 150 euros and 300 euros. Most of the independent coworkings are relatively inexpensive but there are some that brand themselves as premium who may ask for more than the prices above.

Top 5 Coworking Spaces in Europe 2025

There are many excellent coworking spaces throughout Europe and our pick for the top five in Europe in 2025 is as follows:

1. AltSpace Bansko, Bulgaria

Although it was not the first of the Coworking spaces in Bansko, it has firmly established itself in the town, with several different locations that digital nomads can choose to work from. They are all stylishly laid out and have an excellent, friendly vibe that is conducive to both making new friends and working productively.

2. Zen Den, Costa Adeje, Tenerife

A strong community focus sees Zen Den in Tenerife take second place. It is both a coworking and a coliving space and has a boutique style, with just 15 hot desks at this location. This means that spaces are at a premium and it is usually essential o book in advance. They offer many perks such as free coffee, water and fruit, as well as a strong events calendar outside of working hours.

3. Volumes Coworking, Paris, France

At Volumes Coworking in Paris, it is more than just your standard coworking setup on offer. There are 3d printers, laser cutters and many different creative tools for those whose work is more artistic and creatively minded in nature. They have 50 spaces for people to work and are very focused on community building as well.

4. 230 Works, Mosta, Malta

At 230 Works, you can use the facilities on offer for a relatively cheap price and this can benefit students and those on a budget more generally. Unlimited coffee, tea, water and snacks are available when you book for one hour or more. There are a range of professional services on offer including meeting rooms, copying and printing of documents and monthly passes are excellent value.

5. Betahaus, Barcelona

Offering high-quality ergonomic chairs and idyllic outdoor spaces, despite being in the heart of the city, Betahaus meets all of your hotdesking needs. They have six terraces and a communal dining room as well as access to community events and wellness activities such as yoga and tai chi. There are 20 videoconferencing rooms that are part of the package and there is also a community directory where you can advertise your services or search for others whose skills would complement your own.

Tips to Find Coworking Spaces in Europe

Many of the best coworking spaces in Europe have excellent social media accounts that draw attention to what they have to offer. If you are active on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc, you should be able to find a good number of European coworkings by just searching for coworking and browsing through the results.

Another excellent way to find out about high-quality coworking experiences is through word of mouth. Speak to your fellow travellers and ask them about the coworking places they have used throughout Europe. This can help you to find good information from people who have been in a similar position to you.

Top Three Countries Offering Nomad-Friendly Policies

Malta is one of the best countries for digital nomads because of the Malta Digital Nomad Visa which offers preferential tax rates. Malta charges 0% tax for the first year of the visa and 10% in the subsequent 4 years, which is one of the best tax settlements anywhere.

Bulgaria can be very tempting for digital nomads who wish to reside in Europe as it has major modern cities such as Sofia and Plovdiv and digital nomad hubs like Bansko while also having a flat rate of 10% tax for people who are tax residents. This makes it an extremely attractive option for European freelancers in particular. The cost of living is also low compared to much of Europe.

Spain is always attractive for digital nomads due to the sheer range offered by the country. A Spanish digital nomad visa allows access to the Canary Islands, a haven of warmth in the Winter months, while still being in the EU, and the Spanish digital nomad visa is popular as a result. They have tax agreements with many countries, so you will not be double-taxed on earnings.

Conclusion

As someone who has tried many coworking spaces that are standalone, as opposed to being attached to a coliving space, I particularly enjoyed Altspace in Bansko, but it lacked the immediacy of living in the Evolve Coliving House and being able to go and work from a well set up office environment whenever the mood struck me. As someone who can be quite impulsive when it comes to my working hours, this definitely suited me better.

FAQs About Coworking Spaces in Europe

Are coworking spaces in Europe expensive?

Coworking spaces in Europe tend to be less expensive if you book for an entire month. This is usually the way to maximise the value per day of use. They are often in the range of 150–300 euros per month and this usually includes unlimited free coffee and some light refreshments as well.

Can I book a coworking space for a day?

Most coworking spaces will allow remote workers to use them for a day as a trial period and then decide whether they want to commit to booking for a longer period, such as a week or a month. Some offer a single-day trial for free, and some offer the chance to use the coworking space for between 10 and 20 euros per day.

Are there coworking spaces open 24/7?

Many coworking spaces are open 24 hours per day as they recognise that not all digital nomads are able or willing to work on a 9–5 schedule. Many remote workers who are temporarily relocating to a different country will either be freelancers who can set their own schedule or workers who will need to conform to their regular schedule, which may vary a couple of hours from the time of the destination country.

What is the average cost of coworking in major European cities?

The average cost for a month of coworking in major European cities seems to be around 200–250 euros. This is pretty reasonable for coworking spaces that can foster productivity and encourage a sense of community between remote workers in the area. Being able to work at places that make it easy to meet others in the same situation is priceless, particularly for new digital nomads.

Do coworking spaces in Europe provide networking events?

Many coworking and coliving spaces organise their own networking events, and they can be perfect for both making new friends and embarking on new business projects with other people who have the skills that complement your own. Being able to meet others in fairly informal networking environments can make it a lot easier to strike up friendships and partnerships that will make both life and business better.

What is the Metaverse?

It is like a Sci-Fi movie becoming a reality. It helps to connect to people who are not physically present and gives the second-best feeling of being in close touch. The Metaverse actually is an expansive, interconnected digital universe that blends aspects of Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and the Internet to create immersive, shared experiences. It is a convergence of physical and digital worlds, allowing users to interact, play, work, and socialize in many ways previously confined to the world of science fiction. VR puts users in a digital environment, while AR puts digital elements into the real world. Software tools applied are Oculus Rift and HTC Vive for VR, and ARKit for iOS, ARCore for Android in the realm of AR. This living digital universe, where events occur in real-time, is a key feature that software platforms like Second Life and Fortnite creatively utilize.

Accessing the Metaverse is not a problem. For a fully immersive experience, VR headsets like Oculus Quest 2, HTC Vive, and Sony Playstation VR are popular choices. Augmented reality experiences can be felt through smartphones and tablets using ARCore for Android and ARKit for iOS. For more advanced AR, devices like Microsoft HoloLens and Magic Leap offer a more sophisticated experience. Familiarising one with the 3D space of the Metaverse is essential. Tools like Google Earth VR and various VR exploration games can help users get accustomed to moving and interacting in a three-dimensional virtual environment. Some Metaverse platforms have their own unique interfaces. VR controllers allow for natural interactions in virtual spaces, for example voice and text chat through Platforms like Discord. Some VR platforms allow teleportation to move around virtually. Platforms like Altspace VR and VRChat offer a variety of environments for meeting and interacting with people from around the globe. The revolution is that an Indian can interact with a US citizen, through their Images or Avatars in the Metaverse. Platforms like Sansar and TheWaveVR specialize in hosting virtual meetings or virtual conferences. LinkedIn VR and platforms like Spatial provide environments for professional networking, workshops, and meetings in a virtual setting. Platforms like Mozilla Hubs and Engage offer spaces for educational seminars, lectures, and cultural exchanges.

The Metaverse opens a gateway to a world of opportunities, making it really possible that ‘Nothing is impossible’ and creating a platform for innovation, social connection, learning, and business. What do you think? How can we utilize this to our benefit?

Even in the metaverse, companies must take responsibility

It’s easy to assume that the metaverse bubble has burst. At the end of March, Walt Disney Co. disbanded the 50-member unit that was developing metaverse strategies for the group. Two months earlier, Microsoft announced it was closing Altspace VR. Sony and Byte Dance’s Pico unit both admitted that sales of VR headsets in 2023 would be much lower than expected. Meta Platforms ramps up layoffs, and…

I don't RELATE to Team Funko and I don't even enjoy those things anymore. I barely watch TV, I don't read many modern books. It is incredibly isolating to not be into normie media but not be someone that's been let into the places where people talk about anything else.

And being around Normies With Kids is just a painful reminder that I didn't get to be that and never got a choice in it, while Normies With Kids generally gaslight you into some form of bootstrap rhetoric about how you could have been a Normie With Kids if only you'd married a normie and had kids

I feel like Team Funko and altspace/nerdspace were always just a cope. I feel like even being childfree was always just a cope and I don't relate to THOSE people

There is no fucking thing for anyone my age

you're either an old or a young.

If you're a middle then you're either a permachild/permateen collecting funky pops or you are a normie with kids and fuck you if you're neither one of those things I guess

This morning I woke up before my 4 year old son and did something I was longing to do! Wake up for sunrise on the #playa at #burningman Since I could not do that in real life. I put on my #vr goggles and went to #brcvr in #altspace and walked around sunrise taking photos. Tonight @playalchemist is having an amazing experience finishing in a dance party with @diplo playing @burningman @altspace @brcvr https://www.instagram.com/p/CEwxEHVHIm4/?igshid=b21oc37s1wgp

So I have this app called altspace on my oculus go, I needed to make an avator so I reluctantly made one but then she turned out super cute. I might be in love. I can't stop talking selfies of myself as her.
