Your first 72 hours

Five things to sort out, in roughly this order. Each links to the page that answers it.

  1. Get connected

    Sort out a SIM or eSIM on day one, and home internet if you are staying a while.

    Read the SIM and internet guide

  2. Choose a neighbourhood

    Where you stay decides your commute, your cafés and who is around in the evening.

    Compare neighbourhoods

  3. Find somewhere to work

    Once you are in, ask members where they work from — there is no workspace list here yet.

  4. Sort money and transport

    Getting in from the airport, how to pay, how to get a local account if you need one, and the card that gets you on transit.

    Read the money guide Read the transport guide

  5. Join a first event

    Pick something marked first-timer friendly, or a coworking session, and show up.
