Despite the low cost of living, fast internet and position in EU, Warsaw seems to have failed to make it into any lists of major digital nomad destinations currently sitting at position on Nomad List and honestly, I can see why. The reason I mention the weather up-front is not to deter you from Warsaw but to demonstrate that it might be the only obvious factor afflicting this otherwise nomad-friendly European city.
I personally did not enjoy Warsaw as much as I'd hoped but I can definitely see it's good points. The city is a modern metropolis unlike anything I've seen in Europe. Unlike in Belgrade and Sofia - where I researched, tested and compared a collection of coworking spaces - for this trip to Warsaw, I had already decided on one coworking space that I wanted to work out of.
That space was Warsaw's Google Campus. In case you weren't aware, Google has set up free coworking spaces around the world in locations like London, Tel Aviv, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Seoul and London but despite the non-existent price tag, each of Google's spaces are generally well-equipped with modern facilities and incredibly fast internet. The Warsaw version of Google Campus is no exception.
With free, blazing-fast Wifi and plenty of ergonomic office seating, Campus Warsaw seemed like a no-brainer to spend my working days in Warsaw but after two days of closure due to a public holiday in Poland, I found myself getting into the routine of working from home. The space is brand-spanking new after recently moving locations and the internet did not disappoint.
However, I felt the location was a little remote and my decision to base myself near the new location was the biggest mistake of the trip.
