Why travel time beats distance

  • Neighbourhoods with strong metro or tram links can be cheaper than staying next to the venue while keeping commute time short.
  • Travel-time bands include walking, waiting, transfers, and riding — based on official schedules.
  • Use the stays map to compare Booking prices and commute bands for your dates.
