Shoulder-Season City Break

Budget strategy
The cheapest city trip is rarely the one farthest from the center. Shoulder-season dates plus a transit-connected base usually beat remote accommodation plus daily ride costs.
This framework protects the good parts: walkability, food access, and one or two paid experiences that actually matter.
Budget Moves
Save on
Peak weekends, airport taxis, and too many paid viewpoints.
Plan note
Best move
Compare total daily cost, not nightly room price alone.
