  • Top European Cities to Invest In💸
    Oct 7 2024

    Top Cities by Investment Potential:

    • Seville, Novalja, and Edinburgh rank highest when balancing property costs with RevPAR.
    • Markets like Florence, Dubrovnik, and Spain’s coastal resorts also offer high RevPAR with manageable property costs.
    • Tier AAA cities like London and Paris face challenges due to high acquisition costs and tighter regulations.

    Regulatory Considerations:

    • Investors must be aware of evolving regulations in key cities. Examples include Scotland’s licensing requirements and Barcelona’s planned short-term rental ban in 2028.
    • The EU is introducing regulations requiring platforms to share host data with authorities, increasing scrutiny on the sector.

    2024-2025 RevPAR Outlook:

    • RevPAR growth potential in Europe is more muted due to rising supply.
    • In 2024, occupancy and average daily rates were down slightly compared to 2023.
    • Investors are advised to focus on high-performing destinations and consider second-tier cities for better value.
