Letting in Vienna

Rules and licensing

Short-term letting in residential zoned buildings requires an exemption, which is difficult to obtain. Registration is mandatory and enforcement is active.

Tourist tax

A percentage of the accommodation price, collected by the host.

How the year is shaped

Steady all year. The ball season from January to February and the Christmas markets in December fill what would otherwise be low months.

Who books here

Cultural travellers and business visitors on short stays. Guests expect a high standard of finish; Vienna does not reward cutting corners.

Short-term rental rules change often and can differ by district, and building or condominium rules may restrict letting regardless of what the city permits. Treat this as orientation, not legal advice, and confirm the current position with the local authority before letting.
