Coworking centres are an ideal place for work when you don't have or want to rent a permanent office. They are most commonly used by freelancers, digital nomads, and self-employed entrepreneurs. So, where in Prague should you go?
Coworking, meaning collaboration, has recently become a popular way of finding a place to work. Coworking centres aren't just about renting an office space together, but also about having a community of experienced people around you, learning new skills and about better work ethics. Another very important advantage is the friendly atmosphere, many social events, and informal meetings with other workers take place in these settings. Unlike renting an office, working in a coworking centre is cheaper and the company of other people helps to push you further in your career.
As far as the number of coworking centres is concerned, Prague is at the forefront in Europe, they attract mainly foreign freelancers, self-employed entrepreneurs, and digital nomads. The capital of the Czech Republic is not only cost effective but is also strategically positioned in the heart of Europe. Learn about the five best places for coworking in Prague!
