Hotel tips
- Compare the total, not the nightly rate. City taxes and resort fees can add a lot; check the full breakdown.
- Book free cancellation, then re-check. If the price drops before your trip, rebook and cancel the first reservation.
- Stay near transit. Being close to a metro or rail station you'll use matters more than being central.
- Plan the airport transfer. The nearest airport is 11 km from the centre; a train or pre-booked transfer is often cheaper than a taxi at night.
