A great place if you speak Russian or Armenian, somewhat less so English. Good food, friendly people, nature around (eg in Lori) is just insane.

I recently stayed in an apt at Cascade. I loved being within walking distance of everything: cafes, bars, restaurants, museums, parks, money exchanges, groceries, etc. The most wonderful part for me was the ability to strike up conversation with strangers. Everyone there is just so friendly and accomodating. Also, safety. I arrived at 4am and was stuck outside with my belongings, in the middle of the city, for an hour waiting for my host. I've never felt this safe in a metropolitan area before. My main complaint is that internet connectivity needs improvement across the board. However, I was able to work for 2 weeks, even uploading video. But it is definitely not up to par with other places I've visited. I plan on returning for a longer stay soon.

Has a great techno music scene. Nightlife is great even during covid time. Young locals speak good English.

Spent 3 months there. As the others noted - at least at the moment, it's ok only to visit for a week and checkout the sights. Not recommending for long stays, as the only benefit of this place is only cheap prices (btw good apartments are quite overpriced). Also, do not advise in summer - weather was around 35-40 almost always, impossible to go out during the daytime. Checkout after 10 years, maybe things will change :D

Nice to spend some time as a tourist but not so good work and living. The traffic is huge, the streets are noisy, the roads are dangerous. Very cheap fruits and vegetables. The quality of service is really bad. You often have to begg sales person to sell you something. While the city center might look prosper and nobel most of the people here a very poor. And it looks like they do not see that their wealth somehow depends on how they do their job.

Cheap food and wine, beautiful churches and... that’s all. Young people seem to be quite conservative, desperate to leave and very pessimistic about the future. No jobs or opportunities, so the vibe isn’t “cool” at all. It’s safe and really cheap though, great for one month, getting works done and that’s all.

Green is good. Red is bad. Values shown are the medians of all daily highs in a month based on past few years, not necessarily current numbers. Remote worker count is estimated based on the total amount of trips logged by Nomads.com members. Not all nomads are on Nomads.com, and not all Nomads.com members log their trips. So the data is only indicative.

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. Not all 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.
