Hotel and short-term rental prices surged to over $1,000 a night in parts of Europe where a solar eclipse will be visible. Some European cities in the path of the eclipse saw hotel and short-term rental prices surge, such as Iceland’s capital Reykjavik and Spanish cities like A Coruña and Bilbao, according to data from commercial travel and hospitality firm Lighthouse Intelligence, obtained when checking prices in mid-July, around four weeks out from the event. In Reykjavik, hotel prices were on average $1,012 for a night during the week of the solar eclipse, double the rate for the same period in 2025, per Lighthouse.
