Know when demand rises before you set your price

School holidays, big trade fairs, festivals and sporting weekends move demand far more than the calendar month does. This site lists the recurring demand drivers of nine European cities, with every date linked to the official source it was read on, and explains step by step how to adjust a nightly price around a peak.

Three principles behind this site

Only verified dates

A date appears only if we read it on the organiser's or the school authority's own page, and the link is shown next to it. When the next edition is not announced yet, we describe the event without a date.

Drivers, not predictions

We do not forecast prices or occupancy. We show what moves demand and when, so you can decide your own price with your own numbers.

A method you can reuse

The guides describe a repeatable way to handle a peak: identify the nights, set a price ladder, adjust minimum stays, then check what actually happened.
