More paid parking places in Prague from September

Prague municipal authorities decided yesterday that from this September there will be more paid parking places in Prague. Paid parking in the streets of Prague is now in the inner centre of Prague, which means Old Town, Josefov and a part of New Town.

From September you can expect paid parking places also in Prague’s areas Lesser Town, Hradcany, Brevnov, Vinohrady, Zizkov or Holesovice. Drivers who won’t have coins can newly use their credit card.

Drivers will have to pay up to 40 CZK for an hour of parking. What’s more, there will be only 6,271 parking places for Prague’s visitors, 35,518 other parking places will be reserved for people with permanent residence in that area.

The aim of this new edict is to improve the parking conditions for Prague’s residence, improve delivery of goods (with reserved parking places for delivery trucks) and to reduce the road traffic in the city.
