Parking in Prague
Parking in Prague can be complicated, especially in the historic center and surrounding neighborhoods. You’ll find three types of parking zones on the streets: blue (primarily for residents), purple (mixed-use parking), and orange (short-term parking).
Parking may be free outside of the zone’s operating hours, but the rules vary by street. Therefore, you cannot automatically count on free parking on weekends.
You can find the current rules and a map of the zones on the official website of the City of Prague.
When parking, you can also use the EasyPark app, which saves you the trouble of figuring out which zone you’re in and what the parking fees are. Plus, you don’t have to look for a parking meter, because you can pay the parking fee directly in the app.
Indoor Parking in Downtown Prague
If you’re looking for convenient and secure parking in the city center, we recommend using a secure parking garage, such as:
Old Town Parking – an underground parking garage in Prague’s historic center
Parking Opletalova – indoor parking in downtown Prague with electric vehicle charging stations
For longer stays, you may also want to consider using one of the P+R parking lots on the outskirts of the city. From there, you can continue to the city center by public transportation. You can find a list of parking lots here: P+R parking in Prague
Are you arriving in Prague in an electric car?
Electric and hydrogen-powered cars are eligible for a 50% discount on parking fees in Prague’s paid parking zones, provided certain conditions are met. However, the vehicle must first be registered.
Please check the terms and conditions of the discount before your arrival, especially if you are traveling in a vehicle registered abroad. The discount does not apply to hybrid vehicles.
You can find charging stations on the map of charging locations. We recommend checking availability, connector type, and charging rates in advance. Also, keep in mind that charging may not be included in the parking fee.
If you’re staying at a hotel, the simplest solution may be to park in the hotel garage. However, always check in advance to see if the hotel has a charging station for electric cars.
