Nightly ranges are typical mid-week, shoulder-season figures for a double room. Verify before you travel — we spot-check quarterly.

Where these actually are

Old Market Square 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.

Mid tier

Where most independent travellers land — the real neighbourhood choice happens here.

Areas most people should skip

Nowhere central is unsafe. These are simply poor value for a short visit.

Airport hotel strips only

Cheap nightly rate but 30 min transit every meal — stay in the old town when possible.

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.
