Lisbon among the Top 3 best cities for “Workation”

16 September 2021

According to the British online platform Holidu, Lisbon is the 3rd best city in the world to work remotely, combining the perks of a vacation feeling.

 

There is no doubt that the Coronavirus pandemic has brought new working patterns and working from home is an increasing trend around the world. This implies that people can work from anywhere on earth. This being said, the Workation Index ranks “the best cities around the world to both work hard and play hard” and it is led by Bangkok, New Delhi, Lisbon, followed by Barcelona and Buenos Aires.

 

The criteria include the Wi-Fi connection speed, number of co-working spaces, average coffee or beer prices, taxi costs per km, monthly cost of a one-bedroom apartment, the average hours of sunshine, among others. Lisbon’s bronze medal position is the “culmination of relatively high scores across the board”.
