TL;DR

Key takeaways

Pick your month and what matters, and all 185 places sort by how well they fit you.

Each card shows the weather and the internet, plus a night's stay where the city has one; hover it for five bars.

Weather comes from NOAA and NASA, internet from M-Lab's open tests, safety from the US State Department.

The places I've lived carry my photo, and Panama City is my home base.

Sort by most livable, best value or fastest internet, or press Pick a random place.

What is a digital nomad destination?

A digital nomad destination is a city, town or island where people who work online stay for weeks or months at a time. What makes one work is the same everywhere: internet you can rely on, a visa that lets you stay, a cost of living that fits your income, and a place you enjoy living in.

Some are big cities with coworking spaces and meetups, like Lisbon, Mexico City or Kuala Lumpur. Others are beach and island towns, like Canggu or Tulum, where the pace is slower. The finder covers both.

What makes a great digital nomad location?

When I pick a place, I look at the same things every time, and I rank them for that trip:

Internet – a stable connection for calls and uploads, which you can test with my internet speed test
Time zone – enough hours shared with clients or a team, from the time zone overlap calculator
Visas – how long your passport lets you stay, on the visa-free countries map and in the digital nomad visa finder
Taxes and residency – what staying does to your taxes, in tax rates by country and the territorial tax map
Safety – the official travel advice for the country
Weather and nature – the months you'll actually enjoy, and the beach, mountains or city you want
Community and cost – coworking spaces and people like you, and a place you can afford

The finder covers the ones with good open data today: weather, internet, safety, nature and the places I've lived. The tools linked above cover visas, taxes and time zones for your own passport and income.

Where the numbers come from

Every number comes from an open source, and each place's page names its own:

Weather – NOAA's monthly station summaries where a station is close, the national weather service's normals for Medellín (IDEAM), and NASA POWER's climate averages elsewhere, averaged by month
Internet – M-Lab's open speed tests within 25 km of each place over the last 12 months, each user counted once a day: the typical line and the fastest quarter, which is closer to a good fiber connection (a few small places use 60 km, or the country's figure, and say so)
Safety – the US State Department's travel advisory level for each country, with a link to the full advisory
Where I lived – my own history, from my About page

The videos and photos come from Pexels and Coverr, each checked that it really shows the place, and credited on the page.

Before you move: visas, taxes and money

A great place still needs the paperwork to work. Here's what I check before a long stay:

Stay – the visa-free countries map, the digital nomad visa finder, and the Schengen calculator for Europe
Tax – tax rates by country, tax breaks for new residents and the territorial tax map
Money – the best bank accounts for digital nomads and the card fees abroad calculator

Read more about how I think about this in my posts on location freedom and how to become a digital nomad.

Digital Nomad Locations FAQs

Questions about choosing where to live and work? Here's what to know.

What are the best digital nomad locations?

The best one depends on your month, your work hours and what you love.

Pick your month and what matters in the finder, and the places sort by how well they fit you.

What are the best cities for digital nomads?

By weather, internet and safety for most of the year, Funchal, Las Palmas, San Diego and Taghazout have the most mild, dry months of these places.

The finder ranks them for your own month and what matters to you.

Which digital nomad locations have the fastest internet?

In M-Lab's open speed tests, Austin, Nice and Valparaíso had the highest typical speeds of these places over the last 12 months.

Test your own line when you arrive with my internet speed test.

Where does the weather data come from?

It comes from NOAA's weather stations where one is close, IDEAM for Medellín, and NASA's climate averages elsewhere.

Each place's page names its own source.

Which of these places have you lived in?

I lived in Barcelona, London, Stockholm, Oslo, Istanbul, Belgrade, Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Kuala Lumpur, Da Nang, Ha Giang, Phnom Penh, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Cancún, Cabo San Lucas, Caracas, Valencia, New York, Los Angeles and San Diego.

I've also lived in the countries of many of the other places, and the cards say which.
