Additional details

  • Bear in mind that public transport in Prague is highly efficient and extensive - it might be more convenient to use this mode of transport instead of dealing with limited parking spaces.
  • If you fail to adhere to parking regulations, you risk getting a fine or having your vehicle towed away.
  • The parking permit does not guarantee a parking space. It only offers the right to park if a space is available.
