Coworking spaces in Berlin

Coworking spaces are specifically designed for remote workers and offer everything needed for efficient and productive work: reliable Wi-Fi, comfortable setups, meeting rooms, printing services, and sometimes even coffee. Their professional atmosphere and the presence of other digital nomads can significantly boost your motivation and ability to focus on tasks. Most coworking spaces are also designed to be collaborative environments where regular events and workshops are organized, offering many  networking opportunities — a crucial element for independent workers.

Among the numerous coworking spaces in Berlin, Betahaus, established in 2009 in the heart of Kreuzberg, is one of the first and most renowned. Having expanded throughout Europe, Betahaus offers a creative and collaborative environment with a strong sense of community, designing various workspaces to meet everyone’s needs.

Libraries in Berlin

Libraries aren’t just for students and are another great option for those seeking a quiet work environment. If your job doesn’t require attending meetings, the studious atmosphere of a library is perfect for deep focus. Most libraries in Berlin offer reliable free Wi-Fi to visitors, though an affordable monthly or annual subscription — often providing access to the book collection — may be required.

Among the many libraries in Berlin, the Staatsbibliothek, also nicknamed “The Stabi”, is undoubtedly the best known of all. With two buildings located at Potsdamer Platz and Unter den Linden, the State Library of Berlin is one of Europe’s largest libraries. The Zentral- und Landesbibliothek (ZLB), with locations in Mitte and Kreuzberg, is also a popular choice for getting work done, offering numerous comfortable spots to settle in.
