Iberian Hotspots (Spain & Portugal)
Spain and Portugal are the most popular destinations on Uniplaces due to the affordable cost of living and incredible weather.
Lisbon is the digital nomad capital of Europe. Uniplaces has a massive selection of rooms here, especially in neighborhoods like Bairro Alto and Alfama, perfect for enjoying the local lifestyle
Lisbon Stays
A slightly more affordable alternative to Lisbon with a stunning riverside view. The inventory here includes many renovated historic apartments perfect for students and young professionals.
Porto Stays
The vibrant capital of Spain offers a high energy lifestyle. Look for flats in Malasaña or La Latina on Uniplaces to be right in the heart of the tapas culture and nightlife.
Madrid Stays
Highly sought after by international students. Since short-term Airbnb rentals are restricted here, Uniplaces is the best legal alternative for finding monthly stays near the beach or city center.
Barcelona Stays
Famous for its City of Arts and Sciences and the beach. It is cheaper than Madrid and Barcelona, offering modern apartments that are perfect for remote workers on a budget.
Valencia Stays
The heart of Andalusian culture. If you want to experience authentic flamenco and stunning architecture while studying Spanish, book a room in the old town area here.
Seville Stays
A rapidly growing tech hub on the Costa del Sol. It offers a perfect mix of work and leisure with a warm climate year-round and plenty of sea-view apartments available.
Malaga Stays
A major university city with a very low cost of living. You can find incredibly affordable student rooms here, leaving you with plenty of budget for the free tapas culture.
Granada Stays
A relaxed coastal city that is popular with expats. The rental prices here are very competitive, making it a great entry point for living in Spain near the Mediterranean Sea.
Alicante Stays
Portugal’s historic university city. It has a unique academic atmosphere and offers very budget-friendly housing options for students looking for a traditional experience.
Coimbra Stays
Major European Hubs
Major cultural and economic centers where finding housing is usually difficult, but made easier with online booking.
Berlin's rental market is notoriously tough, with long queues for viewings. Booking a room on Uniplaces in advance is a smart hack to secure a registered address (Anmeldung) upon arrival.
Berlin Stays
Italy's fashion and business capital. Rent can be high, but Uniplaces offers shared rooms near major universities like Bocconi and Politecnico to help split the costs.
Milan Stays
Live among history in the Eternal City. Look for apartments in Trastevere for a bohemian vibe or near Sapienza University for a lively student atmosphere.
Rome Stays
The city of lights is magical but finding a guarantor is hard for foreigners. Using this platform allows you to bypass strict French paperwork hurdles for mid-term stays.
Paris Stays
One of the most expensive cities in the world. Browsing verified listings helps you avoid scams and find rooms in Zones 2 or 3 that offer better value for money.
London Stays
A clean, safe, and wealthy city with a very competitive housing market. Secure your accommodation months in advance here, especially before the semester starts in October.
Munich Stays
The food capital of Italy and home to the oldest university in the world. It has a huge student population, so finding a room early is essential.
Bologna Stays
Ideal for art students and history lovers. Living in the historic center allows you to walk everywhere, surrounded by Renaissance masterpieces.
Florence Stays
Housing is scarce in Amsterdam. This platform is a lifesaver for finding studios or shared apartments in reliable neighborhoods without needing to attend in-person viewings.
Amsterdam Stays
Remote Work Essentials
Two things you absolutely need when living a nomadic lifestyle in rented apartments.
Rental apartments often lack proper ergonomic office setups. A portable laptop stand saves your neck and back when you are working from a dining table or a cafe.
