What Life in Rome Looks Like to Digital Nomads

Buongiorno! We really think we don’t need to convince you to spend some time in Rome. Maybe it’s not exactly the cradle of civilization, but you can’t imagine the history of Europe without this Italian city. And the culture neither – Rome is one of the most important European centres of art, gastronomy, fashion, architecture, and so much more. The fact that Rome’s historic centre is on the list of UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites only confirms how remarkable the capital of Italy is.

The climate is, of course, Mediterranean (but so is the cuisine!). If you’re a summer lover and you feel down when it’s cold and rainy, you’ll enjoy living in Rome for sure. Get ready for long, hot summers and mild winters, with hardly any snow.

Before you sit down and start working, you’ll probably want to visit all the important sights and get to know the city. Don’t let the long list of important landmarks scare you! Each one of them is definitely worth fitting it into your schedule. Start with the Colosseum, go to the Pantheon, see the Trajan’s Column and the basilica Santa Maria, visit amazing city squares such as Piazza di Spagna or Piazza Della Rotonda, but don’t forget museums, parks, fountains, and statues either. If you’re brave enough, you should definitely pay a visit to the famous ancient catacombs as well.

Processed with VSCO with e3 preset — Rome has a great offer for digital nomads. There’s a perfect solution for whatever suits your current mood or needs. If you’d like to work from a coffee shop, no problem. If you’re looking for a coworking space, there are plenty of awesome ones you can choose from. Many of them also have kitchens, event rooms, offices for meetings, printers and scanners you can use, and other amenities. Just pick the interior you like – an elegant, professional office to help you focus, or a cheerful and colorful place to inspire you.What do digital nomads say about living in Rome? They are mostly happy about locals being friendly to foreigners, the city being very safe and fun. Places to work from are pleasant and easy to find. The internet is fast and you can walk around the city as it’s not too crowded. What can be a potential problem is a fact that Italians don’t speak English very well and the prices can sometimes be pretty high.
