  4. Consider your location: Opting for accommodation near key attractions or city centres may offer convenience, but it often comes with a higher price tag. For those seeking more affordable options, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, striking a balance between cost and accessibility to the sites you wish to visit. You might also look into independent hotels situated further out, which are usually more likely to be affordable and can provide a more authentic experience.
