Rent in Prague 2026: all 112 neighbourhoods and Prague 1

Author: Maksym Akimov · Updated: 28.10.2026

What it really costs to rent a flat in Prague in autumn 2026: the Around Prague Rent Index for all 112 neighbourhoods from Ministry of Finance data, Deloitte rates for Prague 1–10, prices for a studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom flat in CZK and euro, utilities, the deposit and the amount you need to move in. Every figure comes with a source and a date.

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.

In short: what renting in Prague costs in 2026

Around Prague Rent Index, Q2 2026: a standard older 2+kk of 53 m² in the median Prague neighbourhood rents for CZK 19,300 a month (≈ €790), a new build for about CZK 22,200; the range runs from CZK 16,000 in Petrovice to CZK 23,100 in Josefov and Malá Strana. All 112 neighbourhoods are in the next section.
The city average is CZK 462 per m² a month (≈ €18.9). Second quarter of 2026, Deloitte Rent Index. Down 0.9% on the quarter, up 5.0% on the year.
A 1+kk studio of about 30 m² costs roughly CZK 15,900 a month (≈ €650).
A 2+kk (one bedroom plus living room with kitchenette) of about 55 m² — roughly CZK 24,900 (≈ €1,020).
A 3+kk of about 80 m² — roughly CZK 32,900 (≈ €1,350).
On top come services and energy, on average about CZK 4,500 a month (≈ €180).
The most expensive districts are Prague 7 (CZK 493 per m²) and Prague 1 (490); the cheapest are Prague 10 (442) and Prague 4 (443).

Prices by layout come from UlovDomov for Q2 2026. All amounts in this article are rent without utilities unless stated otherwise.

Around Prague Rent Index: rent in all 112 Prague neighbourhoods (Q2 2026)

Deloitte splits Prague into ten districts, but Karlín and Kobylisy are both “Prague 8” and are different markets. So we built our own table for every one of the city’s 112 cadastral areas (katastrální území) — the neighbourhood names you see on listings, from Vinohrady to Stodůlky. It is based on the official rent map that the Czech Ministry of Finance publishes every quarter (cenová mapa nájemného, edition of 15 August 2026, data up to the end of June 2026). We converted the ministry’s rate per square metre into a monthly rent for a typical flat of each layout: 1+kk 35 m², 2+kk 53 m², 3+kk 71 m², 4+kk 88 m² — the median sizes of rented flats in Prague according to the same map.

The figures are for the ministry’s reference flat: unfurnished, older than five years, in good condition, without a balcony, lift, terrace or parking, rent without utilities. That is the floor of the market; how to adjust for furniture, a lift or a new build is explained below the tables.

Key findings

In the median Prague neighbourhood, a standard 2+kk of 53 m² rents for CZK 19,300 a month (≈ €790); a 1+kk of 35 m² for CZK 15,100; a 3+kk of 71 m² for CZK 23,300; a 4+kk of 88 m² for CZK 28,200.
The same 2+kk in a new build costs about CZK 22,200 — a premium of around 16%.
Most expensive: Josefov and Malá Strana (CZK 23,100 for a 2+kk), Staré Město (CZK 22,800), Nové Město and Karlín. Cheapest among well-covered areas: Petrovice (CZK 16,000), Čimice, Ruzyně and Kunratice.
The gap between the dearest and the cheapest neighbourhood is CZK 7,100 a month for a 2+kk, or 44.4% — four times the gap between Deloitte’s ten districts. The neighbourhood name matters more than the district number.
Over the year (rate per m², Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025) rents in the median neighbourhood rose +3.4% for a 2+kk and +5.3% for a 1+kk. Fastest: Hrdlořezy (+12.2%), Dubeč (+8.7%), Josefov (+8.7%); slightly cheaper: Ďáblice (−9.3%), Pitkovice (−2.4%).

* few listings in the ministry’s data (coverage 1–3 of 5): treat as a rough guide.

How to adjust the table to a real flat

The ministry also prices the extras. For a 2+kk of 53 m² they add roughly: furnished +CZK 1,700, lift +CZK 2,300, balcony +CZK 400, terrace +CZK 2,000, garage or parking space +CZK 2,500 a month. Example: an older 2+kk in Vinohrady is CZK 20,900 in the table; furnished and with a lift it comes to about CZK 24,900 — close to the average asking price in Deloitte’s listings below. That is also why listing averages are higher than the reference figures: most flats on the portals are furnished, many have a lift or balcony, and a fifth are new builds.

How the index is calculated

Source: Ministry of Finance of the Czech Republic, cenová mapa nájemného, edition of 15 August 2026 (model of asking rents from 1 July 2021 to the end of June 2026, with the latest year weighted most). The map is published by law (Act No. 151/1997 Coll., Decree No. 456/2024 Coll.) within 45 days after each quarter.
Monthly rent = the ministry’s rate per m² for the reference flat × the median size of rented flats of that layout in Prague (35/53/71/88 m²), rounded to CZK 100. New build = the ministry’s rate for a flat up to five years old.
“Median neighbourhood” = the median across the 80 areas with good data coverage (4–5 of 5). Year-on-year change compares the rate per m² with the edition of 15 August 2025.
Euro amounts at the Czech National Bank rate for 27 October 2026: €1 = CZK 24.340.
We update the index after every new edition of the map; the next is due by mid-November 2026.

Rent per square metre in Prague 1–10

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%.

What a 1+kk, 2+kk and 3+kk cost in each district

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.

New build, brick or panel block

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.

What comes on top of the rent: poplatky

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.

How much you need to move in

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.

How to rent for less than the average

Rent directly from the owner. Without an agency you keep about CZK 30,000 on moving in. How to check the owner in the land registry and what to read in the contract: renting a flat in Prague without an agent.
Look at the neighbouring districts. Prague 4 and Prague 10 are on average about 10% cheaper than Prague 7 and Prague 1, and they have metro and tram lines.
Compare the price per square metre, not per flat. If a 2+kk asks more than CZK 500 per m², that is new-build or city-centre territory — worth negotiating or looking further.
Set up alerts on several portals: good flats go within days. Which platforms work: where to find an apartment in Prague.
Never pay before a viewing and a contract. A price well below the tables above is common bait; the usual schemes are covered in rental scams in Prague.

Renting vs buying: which is rising faster

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.

Limitations of the data

Deloitte calculates rates from listings taken down from the portals. That is an asking price, not the amount in a signed contract: after negotiation it can be lower.
Deloitte’s index only covers ten districts, Prague 1–10. For individual neighbourhoods such as Chodov, Černý Most or Stodůlky, use the Around Prague Rent Index above, which is based on the Ministry of Finance map. The ministry’s figures describe a basic older unfurnished flat, so they sit below listing averages.
Deloitte does not say whether services are included in the rate. Czech portals usually list rent separately from poplatky, so we treat these figures as rent without services.
Prices by layout for each district are our own calculation from two sources, not a figure anyone has published.
The average poplatky figure dates from spring 2025; energy tariffs have changed since then.

Which Prague district has the cheapest rent?

Of the ten districts in the Deloitte index, the lowest rates in Q2 2026 were in Prague 10 (CZK 442 per m²) and Prague 4 (CZK 443); the highest were in Prague 7 (CZK 493) and Prague 1 (CZK 490). The gap between the extremes is about 11.5%, or roughly CZK 2,700 a month on a 55 m² 2+kk.

How much are utilities when renting in Prague?

According to an analysis by UlovDomov and Bezrealitky (March 2025), advance payments for services and energy in Prague average about CZK 4,500 a month. They are reconciled against actual consumption once a year. Contributions to the building repair fund (fond oprav) are paid by the owner, not the tenant.

How big a deposit can a landlord ask for?

Under §2254 of the Czech Civil Code, the deposit together with any contractual penalty may not exceed three months’ rent. In practice, landlords usually ask for one or two months. The deposit is returned when you move out, minus any justified claims by the owner.

How much money do I need to move into a 2+kk?

With rent of CZK 24,900 and a deposit of two months’ rent, you need about CZK 74,700 when renting directly from the owner. Through an agency you add the commission — usually one month’s rent plus 21% VAT — bringing the total to about CZK 104,800. Plus the first advance for services.

Why are listing prices higher than the figures in this article?

The index is an average of all listings in a district, including panel blocks and unrenovated flats. New builds in Prague rent for CZK 498 per m² on average, and listings aimed at foreigners are often above the market. Small flats also always cost more per square metre than large ones.
