Barcelona stands out for digital nomads with perfect year-round weather, great food, fast internet, and a vibrant tech and expat scene. The city is highly walkable with an efficient metro, beaches nearby, mountains within reach, and plenty of activities from nightlife to coworking spaces. It's compact, connected globally via its airport, and offers a mix of urban, beach, and outdoor lifestyles.

However, pickpocketing and petty theft are rampant, especially in tourist areas like Ramblas, Gothic Quarter, and Raval—keep valuables secure and avoid certain spots at night. Accommodation is expensive and hard to find short-term; expect high AirBNB/hotel rates in peak season, with long-term rentals tough for expats due to bureaucracy and landlord hesitancy. The city feels dirty, particularly beaches, with poor air quality and crowds on transport. Locals can seem unfriendly or xenophobic, especially Catalans; Spanish helps, Catalan even better.

Overall, it's ideal for short stays or if you have a solid income (2000€+ monthly recommended), but watch costs and safety. Safer outskirts like Poblenou work well; alternatives like Valencia or Seville may suit longer nomading.

I really enjoy Barcelona. The Wi-Fi speed was good. The food was great. Overall, everything was pretty reasonably priced. If you wanted to have a fun time on the weekend, there is a pretty good party scene here as well. It does seem pretty easy to meet people. There are quite a few English speakers; however, it is not as good as in some other countries, so knowing Spanish if you come here is definitely a big plus. It's a good mix of sightseeing, but not too much to the point where you can't get any work done. It seems like a pretty authentic place that has kept a healthy balance between its tourism and culture.

When most people think of Barcelona, their mind instantly goes to Gaudí’s masterpieces, the bustling Gothic Quarter, or the vibrant energy of Las Ramblas. But just 15 minutes south of the city center lies one of Catalonia’s best-kept secrets: Castelldefels.

This seaside town strikes the perfect balance between Mediterranean calm and metropolitan connection. With over 5 kilometers of golden sandy beach, Castelldefels offers the kind of everyday lifestyle most people only dream about: morning swims in the sea, long walks on the promenade, and sunsets that paint the horizon in fiery reds and purples.

But Castelldefels is more than just a beach town. It’s a thriving community that attracts digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and families looking for a healthier, more balanced way of life. With Barcelona’s international airport just 10 minutes away, you can hop on a flight to anywhere in Europe while enjoying the peace of a coastal retreat.

The town is also famous for its gastronomy – from authentic tapas bars hidden in narrow streets to modern restaurants with creative twists on Catalan cuisine. And let’s not forget the outdoor lifestyle: surfing, sailing, cycling up to Garraf Natural Park, or playing padel and tennis in one of Spain’s most active sporting hubs.

Castelldefels embodies the idea of a Mediterranean soul:

Sun-drenched days and mild winters.

A diverse, international community.

A perfect blend of local charm and modern living.

If Barcelona is Europe’s cosmopolitan heart, Castelldefels is its laid-back lung – giving you the space to breathe, create, and truly live.

I don't get why people like BCN. It's dirty, sketchy, air quality is meh and locals are not friendly. What's all the hype about? Also, I don't think the city is beautiful. Ljubljana and Prague are beautiful. Cute Spanish beach towns are beautiful. Barcelona has a few Gaudi buildings, but the rest is cookie cutter streets with lots of traffic and noise. There's better places to live in Europe and in Spain.

Difficult to find places to work in the evenings if you work for a western company. Hard to find a good quality restaurant, Google reviews are very inflated here.

I don't know exactly how Barcelona is still considered safe but it's far from it. It's probably the most dangerous city to live in Madrid and one of the most dangerous in europe, with constant pick-pocketing and even violent crimes to get your wallet and phone in certain areas.
If you like a peaceful life, Barcelona is not the place anymore!!

Pros: Weather is great and apartments are excellent.
Cons: City is dirty including the beaches. Locals are extremely hostile, unfriendly and confrontational. There isn't a huge amount of good things to do in the city - most things are mediocre. People constantly bash into you in the street. Food and coffee is very average. Crime is awful - my apartment was broken into and my suitcase got stolen from the baggage belt at the airport. Air quality is terrible.

I stayed in Poblenou, which is a really chill upcoming area outside of the tourism of Barcelona. Really enjoyed it. Very tranquil. People were relatively friendly compared to most in Europe and there was lots of nice food and coffee places. Also pretty okay gyms. Really enjoyed Barcelona this time! Just make sure you stay outside the tourist areas.

There's no reason to live in this city. I spent a year here. The weather is not even a bit nicer compared to central-eastern Europe. Maybe when it's -4 degrees in Budapest, it's +1 in Barcelona. That's just as cold. And the insulation in apartments is practically non-existent, as well as AC and heating. If there's heating in an apartment, using it for like 3 hours/day would cost $100 a month. Speaking of apartments, pricing is ridiculous. $1500 + utilities for a 2 bedroom in a neighborhood where (if you're lucky) you will not get robbed. Oh, that's all if you can even get an apartment because nobody wants to rent expats anything here. I contacted 150+ apartments over the course of ~3 months and even offered to pay a year in advance. I only "qualified" for 2 apartments. Oh, you think you can live in Airbnbs and hotels while searching for an apartment? Yeah, sure. For $130-200 / night or be prepared to live in a hole, 1 hour of public transport from anything (still for $100 a night). Next, the beach. There's nothing magical or good in Bcn beach. A soulless city beach. And important to mention the extremely bad, canal odor that's almost 24/7 near the beach and the next 5-10 blocks inside. On some public transportation lines, you feel pretty much like canned fish from March to October. At least 2 neighborhoods are full of pickpockets, and freakin` apartment break-ins. Oh, and don't even get me started on getting papers here. Bureaucracy is crazy. You need like 3 freakin different papers just to be able to get a normal bank account or mobile/internet contract. Oh, you can get a non-residential bank. But for that, you also need an NIE number and pay 20 bucks a month. Getting an appointment for a resident card is impossible. You need to pay 200+ for a vendor to get you an appointment. Corrupt, mafia craziness. Oh, and all this to have a paper-based "ID card" that you can't even laminate and if it got damaged, it's impossible to replace (even according to the police). And all this while I'm from the EU! Oh, yeah. Most Catalans I met are xenophobic unfriendly people. If you happen to find someone friendly, they're either Spanish or foreigners. Everything is extremely overpriced because it's a tourist city. But still some places are almost never open. Like whaaaat? Many places are only open from like Wed-Sat or 12:30-5pm and other stupid stuff like this. Also, many places are closed in August, and/or in the winter months. On the good side: the food scene is cool, there are many cowork offices, and getting around is easy.

Love BCN, if you have a good income, in my opinion overall is the best city to live in. You have a beach, city and mountains all in one. Yes it is very touristy and Airbnb is very expensive now in the summer months. Compared to places like Latin America & Africa it's safer, however, there is a lot of pickpocketing and petty theft now. Big expat community and a very diverse city. Since it is very touristy it has become quite Westernized in that sense over the years. One of the best climates in all of Europe which is a big plus and I was never bored here. Minimum 2000 Euros a month net salary to live as a local in my opinion. Every place has pro's and con's but overall I could see myself staying here long term. Alternatives are Valencia and Malaga.

Been living in BCN 14 years....1 get out of center. 2 grow veggies or shop in weekly markets & cut food cost by 50%. 3 look where you can be in 2 hrs flying ~ all those love to come here.

Nomading here is tough because there are no reasonable Airbnbs and finding a short-term apt is difficult. You have to ask yourself, is it worth coming to Barcelona? It's probably the dirtiest city in Spain, and a bit sketchy. There's more beautiful and cleaner cities like Seville where you can find a reasonably priced Airbnb.

One of the best cities in Europe. Beautiful, wide streets, perfect weather. Huge tech scene & everything you can imagine. Food is next level. You can take the train and in 20 mins you will be in a nice uncrowded beach. The airport is a massive hub to go anywhere. FC Barcelona, huge huge football atmosphere. Tons of beautiful coworkings. Internet is ultra fast. Prices are expensive, but so is everything right now :(

Insane ... which is why everyone has either left or is leaving. I lived there for over 15 years, and in the past 2 years, the prices for AirBNB has gone up 200-500% on the apartments with many being removed from AirBNB due to the government changes. I had to visit this year for work and spent 7 weeks in hotels and AirBNB for the meetings I had with clients ... cost ... over 16k in accommodation and living expenses ... but that is July and August in Barcelona now. Seems like the Americans, Russians, and northern Europeans have made the city more expensive than Dubai. Internet in the summer is poor (I should know I have a team of 8 designers living there in tiny apartments). Madrid is about half the price and is the capital of Spain ... how does that make any sense when the beach in Barcelona and within 100km of Barcelona are not even worth visiting? Startups are leaving in droves due to the shift to remote working and the fact that most skilled workers are leaving Spain completely alone. Wages are poor in respect of European rates so working for a client there is fine temporarily to fill in the gaps but not in the long term, having said that Spain is still higher than Portugal and Greece ... just. Food is good and plenty of healthy options in the city. Amazon is amazing there and very easy to topup your gadgets. Apple is about 100-200 euros more expensive than Dubai and elsewhere and the keyboards are not real English or US so shortcuts don't work on Macs the same way. Service is ok at best in bars, and ok in most restaurants. Try not to order anything from the sea at the moment as the prices have tripled in the last 2 years. Car rental is possible with full insurance at 1k per month, so you can stay in Gerona if you wish, which is a cheaper option, and even Reus or Tarragona to the south. With the 90 day (UK) visa you can add Barcelona to your weekend list as on a weekend you can cover most of the things you need to do or see. Be careful of the police in Spain as they are a law unto themselves, keep away from them as much as you can. There is still lots of thefts on the metro so keep your hands in your pockets on your wallet and phone at all times. Be very careful of the Rambla area, Reval and Golic as it is full of pickpocketers at the moment recovering from COVID by taking advantage of the bewildered newcomers that have been locked up safe in their homes. Shopping is getting worse year on year and even the larger chain retailers are moving out of Spain and Barcelona due to the lack of spendable money by the locals who are being squeezed out of the city. Expat community? There was one, but it is now down to an irregular meetup using the Nationals website mainly focused on singles and Latin Americans looking for a husband. All in all ... Barcelona has become an interesting weekend visit if you can avoid the stag and hen parties.

Best city in Spain. Weather is great even in December and the clubbing scene is fun. There's lots to do and it's a beautiful city overall. You have to watch out for pickpockets but as long as you aren't leaving things unattended or obviously in your pockets you'll be fine. If you're into hostels, Hostel One Paralelo is BY FAR the best hostel in the area, worth every penny. Will definitely be back, and I never say that.

Algunas medios de comunicación hablaban más de Barcelona por la inseguridad, pero me lancé a visitas Barcelona para conocerla y para trabajar desde mi portátil, y sinceramente es una ciudad que lo tiene todo, buen clima emprendedor, clima cálido, playa, montaña, muchas cosas que visitar y hacer y no, no es inseguro, tiene us carteristas como toda ciudad turística del mundo. De echo, e andado solo gravando por la noche, si por qué Barcelona pro la noche es ermosa y no me han robado ni nada. Para mi la mejor o entre las tres mejores de mundo para.nomadas digitales sin duda.

I wanted to like Barcelona but the rampant robberies just really caste a dark cloud over my 6 weeks there. Usually it is non-violent pick pocketing, but there are cases where it is much uglier than that.

This is still the best city on earth for digital nomads. Beautiful weather, compact city with everything you need, affordable, huge expat scene, great connections to the rest of the world, fast internet, beaches, snow-capped mountains barely 1.5h drive away etc. And no, it's not 'unsafe' by any normal standard. It's a wonderful place to be.

Even if the city is kind of on the decline, it still is awesome. Perfect weather all year, amazing food, vibrant local & expat community.

Lived in Barcelona for a year and a half. I would agree that the weather is perfect and Barcelona does have a great tech scene as well as food and has everything landscape and lifestyle wise that you could think of. Bureaucracy isn't too bad if you nip it in the bu** early and have patience. Also, some clubs are free. (Jamboree!). The metro is also, very efficient with red and purple being the busiest lines. Very walkable city too. Plenty of opportunity to meet people as well. The beaches are ok, just avoid Barceloneta as it's pretty gross and you WILL get bugged by vendors and pick pockets. Not really any violent crime unless there is a reason for it. But ok, time for the negatives. Crime... it is not super dangerous I never felt unsafe. However, I almost got jumped twice and had gotten pickpocketed 3 times. One timed almost jumped because I was waiting for the night bus in a certain neighborhood (Reval) and the bus was taking forever. Once, I had two women of the night ;) sit next to me while waiting for the metro like, on both sides while noone else was there. And almost pick pocketed while on the metro going in run and dash method. Nothing ever happened or taken because I played it smart and didn't do any dumb tourist things but please be careful. Keep your cell phone in your FRONT pocket. Keep things in a secret pocket and don't put anything of importance in the front pockets of a backpack even if you hold it up front they have their ways lol. Also, Barcelona is mostly smoke and mirrors vibe wise. A lot of things you think are amazing or authentic are built purely for tourism and not authentic. Like, the "Gothic Quarter" for example. You can also entertain all of your vices here as well. Just be very very careful as Barcelona can swiftly drag you in and under. The Catalan people are courteous but not warm or friendly. If you want to thrive here you must learn Spanish AND Catalan. The only spanish speakers that are friendly are people from outside of Cataluyna but, quickly become on of them if from Spain so, your only bet are those from Latin America. And yeah, Barcelona is family friendly no problem. Just don't live in the Reval area unless you want break-ins. It's considered a hip place though despite that. And as a single person renting a room and using Cafe Wifi and going out for a drink once a week and buying bare minimal groceries; I would say I could live off of 700 euros bare minimum which, is kind of not enough if you ask me but it was ok. I could have found a cheaper room (Mine was 430 euros) but, alas I was desperate. However, Barcelona is amazing, with an art scene that is cool, a skater's paradise if that's your scene and many more. Just don't do dumb tourist things.

Excelente ciudad para visitar y reune todas las cualidades para un nómada digital, e visitado varias ciudades Españolas y sin duda Barcelona es la mejor.

During winter is quite safe plus much cheaper. Some nightclubs are free and yet there is still a lot of people. Great por lgbtq+ community.

I would disagree on the safety level of this city. Living there for 8 months now I'd say from my experience that Barcelona streets aren't safe at all. Many robberies, physical and sexual agressions are frequently occurring mostly due to drug issues in some central neighborhoods. I agree on the perfect weather great food and tech scene too on the positive side.

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.
