Stay strategyCluster your stay around the venues you will actually use. A beautiful hotel in the wrong zone can turn every evening.
Transport readExpect fuller restaurants, busier sidewalks and short taxi delays around Baixa. This is manageable if you keep plans.
Booking playBook flexible if you want to be close to Baixa. If prices jump, widen the search to direct transit corridors rather than sacrificing hotel quality.
