Downtown Kansas City, the best place to stay 

One of the main advantages of staying in the centre of Kansas City is how easy it is to get to all of the city’s different areas on foot or via public transport. The recently opened Kansas City tramway has 16 stops distributed across the city, making it easy to get to all the main neighbourhoods of interest. The line starting at KC Downtown Streetcar, which runs across approximately 2 miles, from north to south, departs from the River Market and runs all the way to the historic Union Station, passing by Main Street. Stops include the Central Business District, the Power & Light District and the Crown Centre, not to mention the numerous shops, restaurants, art galleries and residences which you can sightsee or visit on your way. What’s more, the best part about travelling by tram in Kansas is that it is free for everyone.

On the other hand, if you are planning on travelling by car, there are around 40,000 parking spots right in the heart of Downtown, making it fairly easy to find somewhere to park. Although the Kansas airport is a 17-minute drive from the city centre, it´s worth staying in the centre so you can experience the trendy Power & Light bars and restaurants, attend the many events that take place in the theatres and stadiums or visit the main tourist attractions.
