Espoo is Finland’s best-kept secret for remote workers—where high-tech living meets wild Nordic nature. Located just outside Helsinki, Espoo offers the perfect balance between peaceful surroundings and easy city access. Through Swaphouse, you can swap homes and stay in thoughtfully designed, remote-work-ready spaces that make your workation as smooth as it is scenic. Whether you’re here for a deep work sprint or a slow-paced getaway, Espoo’s quiet charm and natural beauty will win you over.
With some of the fastest internet in Europe and homes built for both style and functionality, Espoo is a dream destination for remote workers. Swaphouse homes here often feature bright, minimalist interiors, ergonomic setups, and calming views of forests or lakes. After you wrap up work for the day, you can go from laptop to lakeside in under ten minutes. It’s a daily rhythm that makes space for both focus and fresh air.
Swapping homes in Espoo means you’ll live like a local—grocery shopping at small markets, enjoying coffee breaks with cinnamon buns (korvapuusti), and maybe even taking a sauna in your host’s home. The city is dotted with nature trails, seaside parks, and cultural spots like the EMMA museum and Espoo Cathedral. It’s less about tourist attractions and more about daily experiences, with time to breathe, reflect, and enjoy your surroundings.
Summer in Espoo is magical—endless daylight, mild weather, and plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities like kayaking or berry-picking. Autumn paints the forests in vibrant golds and reds, while winter transforms the landscape into a peaceful snowy escape, ideal for cozy indoor work and evening sauna sessions. Spring is crisp, clean, and full of light. Each season offers a distinct and beautiful version of Espoo for your home swap.
Swaphouse takes the Nordic living dream and makes it accessible. No rental costs, no long-term contracts—just a remote work-ready home in a peaceful Finnish setting. You’ll save money, gain comfort, and discover a way of life that prioritizes well-being, nature, and simplicity.
