Sometimes your home is your haven. Sometimes it’s simply the most distracting place to do your work. We’ve all been there. Thankfully there’s a remedy for that with the art of coworking. Coworking spaces aren’t simply the ideal places to only focus on your project away from home — they’re these motivating, empowering and career transforming enclaves that bustle with creativity, productivity, networking, people watching (to a certain degree, of course) and, if you’re lucky, a source of endless coffee and cake. That is, once you’ve found the best one for yourself.
In a city like Berlin that is internationally recognized for openly embracing the collective startup culture while encouraging the freedom and creativity of the individual, people from all corners of the world find themselves trying to somehow “make it” here by establishing themselves against the competition and thatmagic often happens in coworking spaces. Whether you are a solo freelancer or a small business owner, you will eventually have to find your work haven at some point. Along the way, you’re bound to come across many-upon-many recommendations of coworking spaces that you should get plugged into to find your niche. So enough of those long lists. Although Berlin is the city to experiment and explore your creative limits, consider the search for the perfect coworking space done for you already. If you’re in Berlin and seeking a place to hone your craft while building a strong network, here are truly the best coworking spaces you need to be at right now.
