The city offers a low cost of living, making it appealing for young people and those on a budget. Locals are somewhat friendlier compared to neighboring Baltic countries, and basic communication in English is usually possible due to the city's international population, especially students drawn by the university.

However, there is a noticeable language barrier in more nuanced interactions, and integrating socially with locals can be difficult. While the city has some unique qualities in its cuisine and culture, it generally compares to other mid-sized European cities and may not stand out as a top destination.

AI-generated summary of reviews

Young and cheap city. Most people can communicate in english. Locals are warmer than in other baltic countries but don't expect to make many local friends. Many foreigners thanks to the university.

Nothing to amazing about this city. It is cheaper and the locals can be friendly out of curiosity but most European cities are like this way. As always there is the language barrier but besides that it is just your average Baltic European city with its unique cuisine. Not too bad not too amazing.

It's very fun and green city in summer and quite dark and cold during winter time. Old town is beautiful and cozy, fast internet, few coworking spots.

Members who will be here soon

Members who have been here

Values shown are estimated visits by traveling remote workers based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Visits to a place are only counted once per year per user, even if they visit more in that year. Visits are also normalized by overall trips added per month on the site, so if site usage goes up or down it does not affect trends. Not all digital nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

The chart below shows visitors by nationality normalized for population size. This means we take all trips logged on Nomads.com, check which country of origin the user is from, then divide that total visit count by the country of origin's population. If we didn't, it'd just show the big countries like US, Brazil and India always on top. Instead, this shows which nationalities worldwide proportionally visit more or less, which is more useful.
