Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Prague, Czechia, Data & Trends 2026

Over the analysis period 2025-06 to 2026-05, Prague listings averaged 70% occupancy at a 116€ ADR, producing about 2,311€ in average monthly revenue across 253 booked nights a year. As effectively the benchmark Czech market in our data, those figures set the national reference rather than sitting above or below it; the headline read is a solid, mature city-break market rather than a high-yield outlier.

The seasonality index sits at 74%, which is high and confirms the two-peak, deep-winter-trough pattern: December and May are the strongest months, February and January the weakest. Year-on-year revenue growth is essentially flat at 1%, signalling a saturated, regulation-watched centre where gains now come from sharper pricing and occupancy management rather than rising rates. With 346 active listings tracked, competition in the core is dense, so the December and May peaks are where most of the annual upside is actually captured.

Prague is one of Europe's most-visited capitals, drawing over 8.5 million international visitors a year and ranking among the top five city destinations after London, Paris, Rome and Istanbul. Most arrive for the compact, walkable historic core: Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, the Old Town astronomical clock and the UNESCO-listed centre. The visitor mix skews heavily toward short city-break tourists from Germany, the UK, the US, Italy and neighbouring Central European countries, with stag and hen groups and a steady stream of conference and stadium-event traffic on top.

That tourism profile is what drives Airbnb demand here: short two-to-three-night stays concentrated in the centre, where roughly eight in ten of the city's Airbnb listings sit. Guests want to walk to the sights rather than rely on the metro, so apartments inside Prague 1 and the inner ring command the strongest, most consistent bookings.

Prague is organised into 22 numbered districts, but short-term rental demand clusters in a handful. Prague 1 covers the prime tourist ground: Staré Město (Old Town), Malá Strana (Lesser Town) below the Castle, and Nové Město (New Town) around Wenceslas Square. These addresses get the highest occupancy and nightly rates because guests can walk everywhere, but they also face the toughest scrutiny and competition.

Just outside the core, Vinohrady (Prague 2) is leafy, residential and popular with expats and repeat visitors who want cafés and quiet over crowds; it trades a little occupancy for calmer guests and fewer building conflicts. Adjacent Žižkov (Prague 3) is younger, cheaper and nightlife-driven, while Holešovice (Prague 7) draws design-led and longer-stay travellers near the exhibition grounds. The trade-off is consistent: central means premium rates and intense regulation, while the inner ring offers softer pricing but steadier, lower-friction bookings.
