  4. Consider your location: Remaining close to main attractions or the city centre can offer convenience, but it is usually accompanied by higher costs. For more affordable rates, consider hotels located in less central areas or neighbourhoods, balancing price with ease of access to the sites you plan to visit. You might also explore independent hotels further afield, which can often provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
