Some of the biggest and best events in Europe have an inevitable effect on the area’s hotels. Prices are bound to rocket as rooms get snapped up.

Las Fallas in Valencia; March: One of the biggest annual festivals in Spain, the fire festival is very popular and many tourists want to join in the fun.

Edinburgh Festivals; August-September: The Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Festival Fringe present an eclectic mix of high-brow culture, low-brow comedy and absolutely everything in between. This Scottish city is packed with tourists during these cultural feasts.
