Tips for Digital Nomads in Stockholm

📶

Test WiFi Before Committing

Use Speedtest.net at your accommodation before booking a long stay. Cafes in Stockholm vary widely in connection quality.

🏢

Try a Day Pass First

Most coworking spaces offer day passes. Test a few before committing to a monthly membership.

Cafe Etiquette

Buy something every 1 to 2 hours if working from a cafe. Lunch hours are usually not the best time to camp with a laptop.

🔌

Pack a Power Strip

Outlets can be scarce in cafes. A small travel power strip lets you share one socket between your laptop and phone.
