Laptop-friendly spots in Zürich: libraries, cafés and free coworkings
A curated list of places in Zürich where you can show up with your laptop and get work done. Libraries, hotel lobbies, cafés and free coworkings, compiled by Corina Burri and Bilge.
Sometimes it's nice to leave your (home) office. Bilge and I curate a list with "laptop friendly places". Places where you're not expected to order a cappuccino every 30 minutes. Here is full list on Google Maps. We update as we discover new gems.
