Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain fans face a headache with accommodation prices in Budapest surging ahead of the UEFA Champions League final on May 30th. The 2025/2026 UEFA Champions League final will be held at Puskás Aréna in Budapest, Hungary at 6:00 PM on May 30th, attracting thousands of supporters for this European showdown. Although travel is generally convenient within Europe, limited flight and train schedules force many fans to stay overnight in Budapest, creating an opportunity for hotels and landlords to dramatically inflate prices—some charging over 10,000 euros per night (approximately 360,000 baht).

Hotel and rental platform prices have skyrocketed. On Booking.com, luxury accommodations for two people exceed 10,000 euros for a night after the final, while even standard apartments and mid-range hotels command premium rates, with the cheapest remaining options around 2,000 euros per night. Airbnb shows similar pricing, though data reveals that just one night after the match, prices plummet back to normal levels of approximately 100 euros per night.
