Lucerne is one of Switzerland’s best-known destinations. Visitors come for the old town, the lake and the surrounding mountains throughout the year, which makes short-term rental worth considering for owners, whether for a city apartment, a second home or a property that would otherwise stand empty for part of the year.<\/p>
Airhosted manages short-term rentals in Lucerne and takes care of the main day-to-day rental operations, from creating the listing to guest checkout.<\/p>
Lucerne attracts a broad mix of guests: international tourists exploring the old town and the Chapel Bridge, travellers using the city as a base for excursions to Mount Pilatus, Rigi or Titlis, visitors attending concerts and congresses at the KKL, and business travellers in the region. Because guests come for different reasons, demand isn’t limited to one type of stay. Short city breaks, family holidays and longer stays all play a role.<\/p>
Demand in Lucerne follows the seasons. Summer, with the lake and mountain excursions, is usually the busiest time of year, while events such as the Lucerne Festival, Fasnacht and the Christmas markets bring additional peaks. Quieter months call for a different pricing approach than high season, which is why Airhosted reviews rates for managed properties on an ongoing basis rather than setting them once a year.<\/p>
In the City of Lucerne, short-term letting of affected residential properties is limited to 90 nights per year when accommodating guests who stay in the city for less than three months. Whether the limit applies depends in particular on the property’s residential use since 2010. Exemptions and registration requirements must be checked for the individual property with the city before letting begins. Other municipalities in the Lucerne region have their own requirements.<\/p>
Tourist taxes also apply to overnight stays, and rules can change over time.
