Ask “how much is rent in Prague” and listings answer with anything from CZK 15,000 to CZK 40,000 for the same one-bedroom flat. We took two sources with a clear method — Deloitte’s rent index by district and UlovDomov’s figures by flat layout, both for the second quarter of 2026 — and put them together. Euro amounts use the Czech National Bank rate for 29 September 2026: €1 = CZK 24.415.
Prices by layout come from UlovDomov for Q2 2026. All amounts in this article are rent without utilities unless stated otherwise.
Deloitte publishes its index every quarter and splits the city into ten districts. The rate is the average monthly rent per square metre in listings that were taken down from the portals — in other words, flats that most likely found a tenant. The “Areas” column gives example neighbourhoods to help you get your bearings; it is not a full list.
| District | Areas | CZK per m² a month | € per m² | Quarter | Year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prague 1 | Old Town, Lesser Town | 490 | 20.1 | −3.0% | +0.6% |
| Prague 2 | Vinohrady (part), Vyšehrad | 482 | 19.7 | −1.8% | +1.7% |
| Prague 3 | Žižkov, Vinohrady (part) | 480 | 19.7 | +0.2% | +3.7% |
| Prague 4 | Nusle, Michle, Podolí, Braník | 443 | 18.1 | −2.2% | +5.5% |
| Prague 5 | Smíchov, Košíře, Barrandov | 461 | 18.9 | +0.4% | +5.7% |
| Prague 6 | Dejvice, Břevnov | 454 | 18.6 | −0.9% | +8.9% |
| Prague 7 | Holešovice, Letná | 493 | 20.2 | +0.6% | +7.2% |
| Prague 8 | Karlín, Libeň, Kobylisy | 465 | 19.0 | −2.9% | +5.2% |
| Prague 9 | Vysočany, Prosek | 468 | 19.2 | +3.8% | +8.3% |
| Prague 10 | Vršovice, Strašnice | 442 | 18.1 | −2.0% | +5.7% |
| Prague average | whole city | 462 | 18.9 | −0.9% | +5.0% |
The key takeaway: the most expensive district is only CZK 51 per square metre, or about 11.5%, dearer than the cheapest. On a 2+kk that is around CZK 2,700 a month. The spread inside a single district can be bigger: Karlín and Kobylisy are both technically Prague 8, but they are different markets.
Over the year, rents rose fastest in Prague 6 (+8.9%) and Prague 9 (+8.3%), and barely moved in Prague 1 (+0.6%) and Prague 2 (+1.7%): the centre hit its ceiling earlier than the outer districts. In the second quarter, six districts out of ten actually got slightly cheaper; the only notable quarterly rise was in Prague 9, +3.8%.
Deloitte does not break its rates down by layout, and small flats always cost more per square metre than big ones. So for the examples we took Prague-wide rates by layout from UlovDomov for Q2 2026 — 1+kk CZK 529 per m², 2+kk CZK 452, 3+kk CZK 411 — and adjusted them by each district’s factor from the Deloitte index (the district rate divided by 462). Sizes are typical: 30, 55 and 80 m². Amounts are rounded to the nearest CZK 100 and €10.
| District | 1+kk, 30 m² | 2+kk, 55 m² | 3+kk, 80 m² |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prague 1 | CZK 16,800 ≈ €690 | CZK 26,400 ≈ €1,080 | CZK 34,900 ≈ €1,430 |
| Prague 2 | CZK 16,600 ≈ €680 | CZK 25,900 ≈ €1,060 | CZK 34,300 ≈ €1,400 |
| Prague 3 | CZK 16,500 ≈ €680 | CZK 25,800 ≈ €1,060 | CZK 34,200 ≈ €1,400 |
| Prague 4 | CZK 15,200 ≈ €620 | CZK 23,800 ≈ €970 | CZK 31,500 ≈ €1,290 |
| Prague 5 | CZK 15,800 ≈ €650 | CZK 24,800 ≈ €1,020 | CZK 32,800 ≈ €1,340 |
| Prague 6 | CZK 15,600 ≈ €640 | CZK 24,400 ≈ €1,000 | CZK 32,300 ≈ €1,320 |
| Prague 7 | CZK 16,900 ≈ €690 | CZK 26,500 ≈ €1,090 | CZK 35,100 ≈ €1,440 |
| Prague 8 | CZK 16,000 ≈ €660 | CZK 25,000 ≈ €1,020 | CZK 33,100 ≈ €1,360 |
| Prague 9 | CZK 16,100 ≈ €660 | CZK 25,200 ≈ €1,030 | CZK 33,300 ≈ €1,360 |
| Prague 10 | CZK 15,200 ≈ €620 | CZK 23,800 ≈ €970 | CZK 31,500 ≈ €1,290 |
| Prague average | CZK 15,900 ≈ €650 | CZK 24,900 ≈ €1,020 | CZK 32,900 ≈ €1,350 |
Treat this as a benchmark for negotiating, not a price list. A new-build flat with parking and a flat in a prefab panel block in the same district can easily differ by 15–20%, as the next table shows.
The type of building moves the price at least as much as the district number. Deloitte data for Prague, Q2 2026:
| Building type | CZK per m² a month | € per m² | Quarter | Share of listings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brick building (cihla) | 459 | 18.8 | −1.5% | 65.4% |
| Panel block (panel) | 427 | 17.5 | 0.0% | 15.1% |
| New build (developerský projekt) | 498 | 20.4 | +0.8% | 19.5% |
A 55 m² 2+kk at the average panel-block rate comes to about CZK 23,500; in a new build, about CZK 27,400. That is a gap of almost CZK 3,900 a month — bigger than the gap between the most and least expensive districts.
All the figures above are rent only (nájemné). Listed separately are the poplatky: advance payments for water, heating, the lift, cleaning of common areas, waste collection, and often electricity and gas too. According to an analysis by UlovDomov and Bezrealitky published in March 2025, in Prague this averages about CZK 4,500 a month — more than in any other region. We did not find a more recent public figure for Prague at the time of this update.
With services included, an average 2+kk comes to about CZK 29,400 a month (≈ €1,200). Studios usually have lower service charges, 3+kk flats higher ones.
Two things to know in advance. The advance payments are reconciled against actual consumption once a year (vyúčtování), and the top-up can be significant. And contributions to the building’s repair fund (fond oprav) are the owner’s cost — they must not be passed on to the tenant through poplatky. How energy bills work and how to avoid overpaying: see our guide to utility bills in Czechia.
On signing day you pay not one month’s rent but three to four times that. Example: an average 2+kk at CZK 24,900 with a deposit of two months’ rent:
| Item | Directly from the owner | Through an agency |
|---|---|---|
| First month’s rent | CZK 24,900 | CZK 24,900 |
| Deposit, two months’ rent | CZK 49,800 | CZK 49,800 |
| Agency commission, one month’s rent | — | CZK 24,900 |
| 21% VAT on the commission | — | CZK 5,229 |
| Total to move in | CZK 74,700 ≈ €3,060 | CZK 104,829 ≈ €4,290 |
Plus the first advance for services. Under §2254 of the Czech Civil Code, the deposit (jistota) together with any contractual penalty may not exceed three months’ rent — CZK 74,700 for this flat. In practice, landlords usually ask for one or two months. You get the deposit back when you move out; how not to lose it is covered in our guide to getting your rental deposit back.
The agency commission is not set by law: it is market practice, usually one month’s rent plus 21% VAT if the agency is a VAT payer. When it is worth paying and when it is not: see estate agent commission when renting in Prague.
By the same Deloitte index, a square metre in Prague rented for CZK 283 in Q1 2021 and for CZK 466 in Q1 2026: +64.7% in five years. That is a lot, but over the longer run buying rose faster: from 2016 to 2025 flat prices in Prague grew about 2.5 times, while rent actually paid across Czechia rose 46.5%. Flat prices, wages and inflation over the decade: Prague property prices over ten years.
Data collected on 29 September 2026. The Deloitte index comes out every quarter; the Q3 edition is expected around November 2026, and we will update the tables then.
