How to choose your neighbourhood in 4 questions
1. What do you most want to do?
Sightseeing on foot, going out at night, resting or shopping: depending on what you want, the right neighbourhood won't be the same.
2. Can you handle noise or not?
Bar and restaurant areas stay lively late into the night. Read recent reviews that mention noise, and feel free to ask for a courtyard-facing room.
3. How will you get around?
A hotel a few minutes' walk from the metro or tram is often better than a more central one that's poorly connected.
4. And your total budget?
Compare the final price, taxes included, not just the nightly rate. You'll see: with the tourist tax, the cheapest one isn't always the one you think.
Our advice
Choose your neighbourhood first, then compare hotels in that area. It's the easiest way to get it right.
