The imposing Cathedral and Qorikancha temple foundations tell stories spanning centuries, while artisan workshops in San Blas invite you to watch masters at work.

Traditional restaurants serve everything from simple quinoa soup to fancy alpaca steaks between exploring the neighborhood's museums and churches.

Artists hammer silver and weave textiles in open studios where you can watch authentic Peruvian handicrafts come to life. Intimate restaurants serve fusion Andean cuisine in converted colonial mansions with courtyards and original stone walls. Getting around requires sturdy shoes—most visitors walk uphill from Plaza de Armas in about 15 minutes. The steep terrain creates dramatic views over red-tiled roofs towards distant Andean peaks.

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Cusco

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable period to visit Cusco is from January to March, when hotel prices tend to be lower. For a truly enriching experience, a stay of at least 3 to 4 days is recommended to fully explore the city's significant landmarks, historical sites, and cultural attractions. You can take in the magnificent ruins, visit stunning churches and cathedrals, enjoy insightful museum tours, and indulge in some shopping at local markets, all while enjoying budget-friendly cafes. This itinerary offers great value for money and allows visitors to immerse themselves in the rich heritage of Cusco.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover enticing last-minute deals for accommodation in Cusco, visit the Deals or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. Activating email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and exclusive promotions, helping you seize opportunities for savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a helpful comparison tool available via the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. With such tools at your disposal, you're more likely to see the best options for your Cusco getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Cusco hotel. For those in search of distinctive accommodations, boutique hotels may provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we’ll suggest alternative dates that may be more affordable to help you secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Cusco's excellent public transport links, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel a bit further out that remains well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often considerable value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
