Hacker Houses in Europe

Planning a trip to Europe in late Spring. I’m looking for unique community collectives to visit, such as hacker houses, hacker venues, co-ops, diy/anarchist venues, and any other places that prioritize community involvement, collaboration, activism, learning, and organizing. My intention is to learn all I can about such places, and try to build something similar back home.

This page[1] calls these co-living spaces hackbases, and lists a few in Europe.

Somewhat related, if you’re looking to crash at a hacker’s home, I run https://hackercouch.com.

In general, you can always visit the local CCC chapters. They usually have always an open for guests day per week that you can go to meet them. If you're in Berlin, gotta visit the C-Base, the original spaceship :D

A new one just opened in Finland called FR8, saw Andreas Klinger share it on X, looks kinda neat.

If you're looking for a co-working space in Amsterdam, you have the https://hackerbuilding.nl/, great vibes with lots of founders around
