11 co-working spaces in Luxembourg
Why co-work when homeworking is so flexible? It’s true that many people prefer to avoid the commute in rush hour. But co-working is flexible, and you can commute outside of rush hour.
It can give you a space to call an office, separate from your home environment, where you can focus your attention. It can also provide inspiration and a platform to bounce ideas off others (often self-employed persons or entrepreneurs in a similar position to you). In the best instances, it can forge alliances and partnerships.
If you’re in a creative profession as a writer, artist, photographer or musician, co-working spaces provide studios, showrooms and expertise.
With this in mind, we’ve selected 11 co-working spaces to try. The "who" highlights who the space is suited to or most often used by, and the "where" gives you a feel for locations and additional services. We've also provided costs. At the end of the article, some aggregator websites are listed that allow you to book a co-working space for the day or the week.
If we've missed a new co-working space you use or own, let us know and we'll add it (must be located in Luxembourg).
