Map your first two days
Mark the places you genuinely plan to visit, then look for a base with simple connections to that cluster. Do not choose an area around an attraction you will visit only once.
Decide what evenings should feel like
Some travelers want restaurants outside the door; others want a quiet street and an early night. Read recent accommodation and neighborhood information with that exact preference in mind.
Check the final kilometer
A nearby metro station is useful only if the walk works with luggage, children or late arrivals. Verify how you will get from the airport or station to the door before booking.
- Compare the commute to your main cluster.
- Check late-evening transport.
- Notice hills, stairs and river crossings.
