  4. Consider your location: Staying near key attractions or city centers can be convenient, but it often comes with a higher price tag. For more budget-friendly options, you might want to look at hotels in less central areas or neighborhoods, which usually tend to be cheaper while still offering reasonable access to the sights you plan to visit. Additionally, exploring independent hotels a bit further out can lead to a more authentic and affordable experience.
