Cost of Living

Most Affordable Cities for Nomads in 2025

Nomad Deals just released its updated 2025 Affordability Indexes for digital nomads across Europe, Asia, and Latin America—and the results highlight a clear theme: skip the big-name capitals, and your budget will go a lot further.

Each index ranks major cities by the combined cost of Airbnb stays, long-term rent, and daily expenses—helping nomads find the sweet spot between affordability and livability.

🌍 Europe: Eastern Gems Lead the Way

While Western Europe remains pricey, cities like Kraków, Sofia, Bucharest, and Budapest offer solid infrastructure at a fraction of the cost. These destinations balance history, comfort, and value—ideal for nomads who want Europe without the Paris price tag.

🌏 Asia: Southeast Asia Still Rules

Chiang Mai, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali, and Manila continue to dominate the affordability rankings thanks to low costs, strong expat networks, and fast internet. Major hubs like Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul are significantly more expensive, especially for short-term stays.

🌎 Latin America: Value in the Underdogs

Forget the tourist-heavy capitals—La Paz, Cali, Porto Alegre, Asunción, and Medellín shine for their affordability and improving remote work infrastructure. Larger cities like Mexico City and Buenos Aires are still vibrant but command higher costs, especially for Airbnb.
