Quick comparison
| Category / destination | Monthly range | What matters |
|---|---|---|
| Accommodation | €400–€900+ | Usually the largest variable; monthly rentals and neighbourhood choice matter most. |
| Food | €200–€400 | Cooking regularly can materially reduce the monthly total. |
| Local transport | €25–€80 | Many lower-cost cities are compact enough to keep this category small. |
| Coworking | €80–€220 | Optional if the accommodation has a reliable workspace and internet. |
| Mobile data / eSIM | €15–€60 | Useful as a primary connection or backup for unreliable Wi‑Fi. |
| Leisure & extras | €100–€300+ | Highly dependent on lifestyle and frequency of trips. |
How to use this guide
Start with accommodation because it normally has the largest impact on the monthly total. Then add food, local transport, coworking if needed, mobile connectivity, insurance and travel between destinations. For remote work, confirm the actual internet quality of your accommodation rather than relying only on city-level averages.
