Where these actually are

Old Town & Castle Hill is the walkable core — the other areas are short walks or one transit hop away. Schematic — not for navigation.

Budget tier

Lower nightly rates — you trade location, views or evening options, not safety.

How we ranked these

Areas are scored on six dimensions — first-timer convenience, value, dining, nightlife, quiet and transport — plus three hard signals the matcher uses to eliminate: hilliness, night noise, and whether you can walk to the main sights. Nightly ranges are typical mid-week shoulder-season figures for a double room, refreshed quarterly.

We earn a commission if you book through the links on this page. It does not change the ranking, and it is why the “areas to skip” section exists.
