Traveling the world sounds like a dream; a dream shared by many. That said, the fact of the matter is that traveling the world can get quite expensive. That’s why, for most people, this never leaves the realm of dream.
However, traveling the world doesn’t have to leave a huge dent in your budget if you get a little bit creative. Workations are becoming quite popular lately, because they allow people to visit some of the places they’ve always wanted to see, without taking any downtime from work and thus depleting their budget.
With that in mind, here are some of the top places to visit if you’re looking for your new workation destination.
Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a very popular tourist destination with tons of cool things to do, no matter if you’re more interested in history or just exploring the night life. That being said, it comes as no surprise that Amsterdam is also one of the best places to head to if you’re looking for some good workation destinations. Fast and reliable internet will enable you to seamlessly complete any of your work-related tasks, and even plan out your other daily activities once you finish working.
Some of the things you simply must see and experience when visiting Amsterdam include having a drink at the Ice bar, going on canal cruises and checking out the world-renowned House of Bols.
Athens
Another great workation destination is Athens. This coastal city that has the longest coastline of any European capital is the dream destination for anyone who enjoys warm weather. Of course, depending on the time of the year you choose to visit Athens, you may not be able to lounge on its sunny beaches, but you will still have plenty of amazing historical locations to visit. Keep in mind, however, that Greece in general is not really known for its good internet, so you may want to consider investing in a reliable mobile internet.
Some of the things you simply must see and experience when visiting Athens include visiting the Acropolis and the Acropolis Museum, marveling at the beauty of Parthenon and going on one of Athens’ scenic electric bike tours.
Bucharest
As the capital and largest city of Romania, Bucharest should definitely find its place on your list. Surprising to many, Romania is among top countries when talking about internet speed. With a plethora of large convention facilities, educational institutes and cultural venues, you will definitely have plenty of things to do and places to visit during your free time. Another great thing is that Bucharest is a rather inexpensive city, which makes it a great destination for any budget.

Copenhagen
Copenhagen is the capital and most populous city of Denmark, with a rich history and beautiful architecture. Interestingly, Copenhagen was originally established in the 10th century as a Viking fishing village. What’s more, Copenhagen is also among the top of the list of countries with fast internet, so there won’t be any issues for anyone looking to both visit this amazing city and work. The stable economy and the overall quality of life that Copenhagen offers are some of the major reasons why this city is so attractive to both the locals and the visitors.
