The global travel site Big 7 Travel recently released the official list of the best cities to work from remotely in 2021, and the Cape Town featured as one of the destinations.

The 50 Best Places For Remote Working In 2021

Yes, it is said that the travel website used data accessed from Nomad List, and taking variables into account such as countries which offer specific Digital Nomad visas, and where to find the coolest co-working spaces and expat-friendly communities, they curated the official list of 50 Best Places For Remote Working In 2021.

Cape Town came in at number 42.

“Cape Town sometimes gets a bad rap for its droughts, iffy wifi and occasional safety concerns,” Big 7 wrote. “However, it still manages to reel in digital nomads by the thousands. Despite having a few drawbacks, Cape Town boasts an incredibly connected expat and digital nomad scene from all corners of the globe. The scenery doesn’t hurt, either. Situated right on the water, surrounded by mountains and chockfull of colourful markets and quirky neighbourhoods, Cape Town is all about the atmosphere.”

The world’s most sought after travel destinations for tourists and long term remote workers

Other places that made the list is Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Dubai is one of the world’s most sought after travel destinations for tourists and long term remote workers alike. When it comes to expats, Dubai puts up some pretty impressive numbers, too. Each year, the Emirate gem reels in more than 200 000 expats looking to live the luxe life and indulge a little bit.

Over the past several years, Tbilisi, Georgia (number two on the list) has been making big moves in the digital nomad world. Sat in the Caucasus region, the quirky capital has a lot to offer in the way of culture; from its diverse food scene to its long and complicated history, there’s something for everyone. It also serves as a great base for exploring the rest of Georgia. From the frosty Caucasus mountains up north to the pebbled shores of Batumi’s Black Sea coast; the country is as visually appealing as it is affordable. 

Meanwhile, Tallinn, Estonia (number one on the list) has enacted a new visa in recent years that allows digital nomads to work remotely in the country for up to a year. The capital city is oozing with charm and surprise that will have you living in a real-life Baltic fairytale.
