To choose an area, first think about what you are going to do. The historic center of Pontevedra is largely pedestrianized, with narrow streets, squares and tapas bars; staying there lets you get around on foot and park outside, because traffic is restricted. If you come by car, look for accommodations in the ensanche or near the train station, where it is easier to find parking and you are still ten or fifteen minutes on foot from the old town. The beach area, such as Playa de Compostela or the coastline of the ría, is another option if you prefer peace and nature, but you will need a vehicle for everything. Holiday homes and villas are concentrated mainly on the outskirts and in nearby municipalities, so if you choose one, check the distance to the center carefully and whether there is public transport.

As for prices, the months of July and August are the most expensive, and also the ones with the most demand because of the festivals and the good weather. If you can, travel in May, June or September: the weather is still pleasant and prices drop considerably, especially on weekdays. To get there, Pontevedra has a train station on the Vigo-Santiago line, and the AP-9 motorway connects it with both cities; the nearest airport is Vigo, about 25 minutes by car, although Santiago is less than an hour away. Within the city, the best way to get around is on foot, because the center is compact and flat; for the outskirts, there are city buses, but they are not very frequent, so consider a car if you stay far away. Before booking, check whether the accommodation includes cleaning, bed linen and towels, because in apartments these are sometimes charged separately, and review the cancellation policies, especially if you travel in high season. It is also worth reading recent comments about noise, heating or wifi, because in old buildings in the center these details make the difference.
