The best coworking spaces have reliable and fast Wifi, options for quiet spaces and meetings, and possibly offer additional amenities, like free coffee in the kitchen! Whether you’re working in New York City or China, there are plenty of coworking spaces available.
Here are the 17 best coworking spaces around the world.
First things first, what is a coworking space?
If you’re unfamiliar with what a coworking space is, we’ve got an answer for you! A coworking space, you guessed it, is a place where you can work with coworkers or well, strangers who are working too. In many large cities, this is a great way to use reliable internet, move out of a typical coffee shop workspace, and find a quieter place to work. For many people who work remotely, it’s a good way to get out of the house during the day, change things up, and stay productive. Let’s be honest, sometimes working from home can be distracting!
How do they work?
Most, if not all coworking spaces offer options to rent spaces for a day or more. You can purchase long term memberships too. It depends on what you are looking for! The best coworking spaces will be flexible with options, giving you the choice to stay for one day, one month, or a year!
What should I be looking for?
Here are the 3 things you should consider when looking for a coworking space: location, amenities, and type of space.
Location: Where are you located? Is there a coworking space nearby? Are there additional options?
Amenities: What kind of amenities are you looking for? Do you want a kitchen and coffee? Pets? A fitness center? The list of amenities can go on and on. On our list of the best coworking spaces around the world, you’ll find that some offer dozens of amenities, while others are more basic.
