National Geographic has compiled a ranking containing the 5 Best Places to Work Remotely, at the top of the list, in first place, stands the capital of Sicily: Palermo! Palermo is the ideal place to work remotely, if you are a culture lover, here are the reasons for the famous magazine:
With a healthy and relaxed lifestyle, a warm Mediterranean climate and a lower cost of living than most of the UK, the charming Sicilian capital, Palermo, offers young professionals a real slice of dolce vita. Professionals can sit, work and watch the world go by in one of the city’s many magnificent squares, surrounded by cafes, street vendors and laptop-sized boutiques. During the lunch break, walking through the historic streets is like stepping into a stage: the narrow alleys are full of Arab domes, decorative baroque facades and bright Byzantine mosaics that tell the multicultural past of the city. Turning around a corner you are just as likely to discover an opulent chapel, a gushing fountain or a dilapidated square untouched by World War II. But there are not only historical relics. The bustling Vucciria market is the best place to sample local Sicilian delicacies, including Arancini with meat sauce, the Cannoli and pasta to the norm. A state-of-the-art cultural scene and vibrant nightlife give the city additional dynamism and a wide range of weekend entertainment.
