  4. Consider your location: Staying near major attractions or city centers can be convenient, but it often comes with higher prices. For more budget-friendly options, you might want to look at hotels in less central neighborhoods, which can help you strike a balance between cost and accessibility to the sights you want to see. You may also consider independent hotels located a bit farther out, as they are usually more likely to be affordable and can offer a more authentic experience.
