Where to go with a laptop: 10 coworking spaces of the world and their status in 2026

Where to go with a laptop: 10 coworking spaces of the world and their status in 2026

Bad Wi-Fi and a noisy cafe can ruin even a productive workday. For digital nomads, this is not a minor annoyance, it means missed calls and lost hours.

Below are ten coworking spaces from four parts of the world. Some of them opened before the pandemic, some have closed or moved. As of 09/2026, we confirmed three locations are still operating, while Hubud in Ubud has closed. For the rest, we left the official website so you can check the status, price, and address before visiting.

This is not a list of hotels. This is a practical selection for work: you come with your own laptop, pay for a day or a month, and get a desk, a power outlet, and internet.

How to choose a coworking space in another country

💡 In short:

  • Decide what you need. Three hours a day is cheaper with a day pass, while a full schedule is more cost-effective with a membership.
  • Check the opening hours and call zones. Some spaces are closed on weekends, others operate around the clock.
  • Verify the address before you travel. Over the years, some coworking spaces have closed or moved.
  • Prices and opening hours: 09/2026, verified on the official website

First, figure out your own rhythm. If you work in the morning and evening with a break in between, a day pass without a fixed desk will work for you. If you have daily calls with your team, look for 24/7 access and a meeting room.

Then check three things: internet speed, noise level in the common area, and opening hours. In Asia and Latin America, a monthly membership is usually the better deal; in Europe and the US, paying by the day is simpler.

And one last thing. Names and statuses of places change faster than old roundups get updated. Before you visit, open the official website: it has the current address, hours, and price.

1. Betahaus in Berlin

Betahaus opened in 2009 and calls itself the first coworking space in Europe (as of 09/2026, official website). The cafe operates right inside the space, so lunch doesn't pull you away from your desk.

⁉️🤔 Frequently asked questions

Are all the places in this list still operating?

No, not all of them. Betahaus in Berlin, Punspace in Chiang Mai, and The Farm in New York are still operating (as of 09/2026, The Farm website). Hubud coworking in Ubud has closed, and other spaces have taken its place (according to the Ubud overview). Before traveling, always check the official website of the place you have chosen.

How much does a day in a coworking space cost?

The price depends on the city and the payment format. Exact figures become outdated quickly, so check them on the official website: it lists the current daily and monthly rates.

Can you work from a cafe instead of a coworking space?

You can, if you have enough outlets and stable internet. But in a cafe you pay for every coffee and don't get a meeting room. A coworking space is more cost-effective when you have several calls a day and need a quiet corner. For short tasks, go to a cafe; for a full day, look for a workspace.

How do you choose between a day pass and a membership?

Count by days. If you work from a space fewer than ten days a month, get a day pass or a multi-day package. If more, a monthly membership is almost always cheaper per day. Check the terms on the official website: some places offer a discount when you pay in advance.

What should you do if the place you chose has closed?

Check the surrounding area. In most cities in this selection there are several coworking spaces, and one closing doesn't mean the whole area has shut down. In Ubud, other spaces opened after Hubud. Check official websites and recent reviews so you don't go to an old address.

In short: what's worth booking

The coworking lineup has changed, but the selection principle remains the same. Look at your own rhythm, not at a pretty picture.

  • If you need a large coworking space with a community: Betahaus in Berlin.
  • If the center and the sea nearby matter: Urban Place in Tel Aviv.
  • If you work at night and for long stretches: Punspace in Chiang Mai.
  • If you want an old building interior: Laptop in Paris.
  • If you need Manhattan and a loft: The Farm in New York.
  • If you're in Rome: Cowo 360 in the northeast of the city.
  • If you're in Melbourne: Kindred Studios.
  • If you're in Amsterdam: Thinking Hut.
  • If you're going to Bali: check the active spaces in Ubud.

Take one day at the space closest to you from the list and see whether that setup works for you. That way you'll understand whether you need a membership.
