Cities like Prague and Budapest make for great photos, but if you go just 20 minutes in any direction life is very different. There is very little glamour if you're outside the old towns.
Being a digital nomad forces you to actually live in a city rather than just sweeping through it and staying at 5 star hotels. Even then, you can't fully experience a place if you don't speak the language.
In Munich there were so many events going on, but they were not really accessible unless you spoke German.
Even if you're not in a place to do the full time digital nomad thing, I highly recommend trying the live and work in a city for a month, it's highly educational.
