Big problem to parking your car in Prague if you travel to Prague with you car or motorbike. Generally, Prague uses parking meters to charge for street parking. Approximately, you will pay 20-40 Kč (0.70 – 1.30 EUR) per hour using the parking meter.

There are ‘color codes’ for the parking zones downtown.

These are:

• -         Orange - 2 hour parking (from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.)
• -         Green - 6 hour parking (from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m.)
• -          Blue - reserved for residents and offices.

In any zone, make sure not to leave any valuables inside that could attract the attention of car burglars. Car burglary and theft are common crimes in Prague as they are in other big cities.

For more safety, you may choose to park your car in a garage or even in a lot. Lots are located close to metro stations, and the purpose of these lots is to encourage people to leave their cars and take public transportation to reduce the traffic jam!
