we are happy with your videos here on youtube on the 2 pages you have on youtube.
when we travel to Prague we feel at home, the hospitality you have in the city we do not find in Denmark.
when we come to prague we feel at home and happy and relieved.
we love the Czech Republic and the people of the Czech Republic/Prague.
we will come again this summer in August
Mr. Parkit works great. We live in Prague 3, but did it before we got our residential parking permit. There are also some parking garages in the center. There's one right behind where Janek is standing. One close to the National Museum and other places.
One important point missed about parking signs.
If it says RÉSERVÉ, it is reserved for locals, you will not find a machine there. (3:21 in the background)
If there is a symbol of a parking meter, there will be a machine nearby to pay for the parking. (1:04)
Oh gosh, with every video you make, I'm more and more in love with your content. Prague is such a lovely place! 😍 Like and support from Bangalore
Thank you !
Very helpful HonestGuide
Greetings from Austria 😁
You are the hearth of the games
Used Mr Parkit near Vysocanska, worked like a charm! Now I search for Pension with included parking on the outskirts
need to find another city to visit then :) thanks for your video
0:34 There's actually a station called "Háje" ("groves" in Czech)? That's hilarious, considering "Jdi do háje" (literally, "go to the groves") means "buzz off", "go to hell". Imagine what happens if someone asks for directions and part of the answer is telling them to go to the Háje station (that kind of misunderstanding must have happened at least once) 😂
The difference is in preposition - "go to Háje" - "jdi na Háje", "go to hell" - "jdi DO Háje".
we use it as joke very often, but there is difference between singular and plural, "jdi do háje" means you go to one grove, while name of metro station háje is plural like "groves," but because of declension, it happens that both words are háje in this case.
@@Pidalin Oh, I see. Thanks for the explanation! I know a little Czech, but the grammar is pretty difficult.
Park at Cerny Most and get the metro into the city. Job done.
It’s Janek’s smile for me.
You should've mentioned that most parking zones in the city center are time-limited to like an hour or two, it simply won't let you buy a longer ticket (or even like consecutive ones). It sucks a lot in general.
Those are almost only sings with RÉSERVÉ on them which means that they are reserved for locals and that is why they won’t let you stay there for longer.
You can pay just for different zone that is near to you but you can stay on the same spot. You won't get any tickets.
The locals have different rules, they pay a yearly fee (about $100,-, depends on the Prague district), it is kind of cheep for the Prague residents. Well you can park only in your area, not everywhere in Prague.
There is another yearly pass for Prague non-resident, that is already more expensive, about $500,- per year I think, and again it is only for a particular district. This might be available for everybody, well it takes some time and papier work, so it is not worthy to waste your time if you spend just couple of weeks, eventually only some days, in Prague.
So yes, as Janek is saying, the easiest is to park in the P&R, the cost is reasonable, and just buy the public transportation ticket for a day, that is really cheep and in the end the public transportation is faster and more comfy than a drive in the town. It is very easy to find the public transportation connection on the google maps.
For those who are in a good hotel, the parking will be included anyway.
Have a fun!
My wife and I have been to Europe many, many times, including Prague, and have yet to rent a car. We use public transit always, when not walking.
I’m not taking any chances with the cars there. Public Transport is best.
Problém u P+R je, že cena parkovného roste, pokud stojíte déle jak den. U zóny 1 stojí stání na 24 hodin 50 Kč a pak 10 kč za každou hodinu nad, u zóny 2 100 Kč + 20 Kč za každou hodinu nad. Když přijedete do Prahy na tři dny nebudete platit 3x50 nebo 3x100 Kč, ale 50+48*10 nebo 100+48*20, tedy 530 nebo 1060 Kč, a to už je rozdíl.
We are visiting Prague in June in our motorhome. Any suggestions for sites we can stay on that are close to the centre?
I would go to camping sokol, very Nice spot. And the train is 15 minutes of walking from the Camp site. And the trip is around 11 minutes to the city center 👌🏻
@zimmer3055 that's great, thanks for the info.
If you want a proper campsite, look up 'autokemp praha' (kemp is the Czech word for camp). The ones near the zoo (there are a bunch of them in a row, put 50.1173, 14.4280 into your GPS or map) are right by a bus that goes straight to the city
@@brake_4_cake thanks Rob
@@thetravellingwhiteleys9594 Another one is "Prague Camping Džbán" - its a quiet place on the edge of northern forestal part of Prague and it is 10 mins walk to metro from there (station "Veleslavín" - frequently used by airport travellers).
You explained paid days range but not time range of parking zone like 08-20h etc.
P+R are mostly full during working days. There are still not enough P+R places.
A car in Prague is a really bad idea, use public transport
Fully agree! There is no need for one anyway since the transit is so efficient!
I'm late to the party but will be this Sunday in Old Town for a few hours. Can anyone give me an address in Old Town where I could park for free or cheap? It is five of us including three small children, and for that I appreciate all the help.
Any motorhome parking tips please?
yeah, go to slovakia
Google "camping Prague" and it shall drop some opprotunities. Pick some close to metro of at least tram stop (metro stops running on midnight but trams drive all night long - just less frequently and different lines - night trams numbers start with 91 etc.).
2:15 You forgot Pound Sterling, Rupees, Rial, Won, Australian Dollar. (Just kidding)
This internal joke must have made Honzík annoyed at the time of filming it already.

"Park like a local" well, most of Praguers don't even have car. 😀
Do not know if most but definitely most Prague councils do all their best to bleed people dry for owning a car...
Parking a problem everywhere these days tbh
Don't park it where people live, it's so bad that even people who dont drive complain about the number of cars there.
Yeah, it's also annoying when you can't find parking after work and you see several foreign cars in spots for residents only. I wish those were towed away.
I wish the city police would actually enforce the bad parking. It seems like they have completely given up. I see so many cars parked on the sidewalk without any fine, if the city was more proactive in punishing bad drivers, life would be better for all
In £?
nobody cares about £ when there is no queen anymore
24/7? Rubbish
Hang on there! "Perfect Public Transport System"? Are you sure it's perfect ;-) You have a great public transport system, is it perfect and everyone else are worse than yours? I beg to differ, my friend :-)
Don't worry, I like your system, but calling it perfect makes me a bit worried... Perfect means that there's no way to improve it, can we agree on that? Just say it's great, which it is. "Perfect"? I wouldn't say that...
From survey from 2023 is ranked as second (behind Berlin) best public transport so I guess we can call it perfect. Well ok in night it's not perfect but who cares about night transport and compared to rest of republic it's more like heaven and hell.
I traveled a lot in Europe in last 10 years and I haven't seen better public transportation system than Prague has. But ofcourse, it's not perfect because nothing is perfect. And quality of public transportation really is not about how modern buses or trams are like some people believe, it's about if you can get to place where you need to get.
