If you believe you can simply leave your car on one of the nearby streets at Vaclav Havel Airport and easily walk to the terminals in just a few minutes, we must set the record straight. The first free parking location is over five kilometres from the main airport building.
All other free spaces are occupied by companies offering guarded—and, naturally, paid—parking services. Signs directing you to free parking lead to the North and South junction areas, where only airport staff are permitted to park free of charge.
To the Shopping Centers (Not Only) For Shopping
Šestka shopping centre offers more than 1,000 parking spaces, including around 340 covered spots. The car park entrance is monitored by parking meters, and the airport is reachable by public transport in just 17 minutes. You must travel 4.8 km from the official paid parking lots in Ruzyně to find free parking. Your destination should be OC Šestka, located near the old runways. Holidaymakers often visit for their first purchases after a trip, and it is also popular with those seeking affordable parking. Unfortunately, free parking is no longer available; however, long-term rates are offered here.
A bit further away is Metropole Zličín, from which you can reach the airport in 15 minutes by taking bus 100.
At both shopping centres, you can park free for the first 3 hours; each additional hour costs 50 CZK, up to a maximum of 495 CZK per 24 hours.
Pick-up parking at POP Airport free short-term parking
Take advantage of free short-term parking at POP Airport in our 2,400-space indoor car park. You can monitor arrivals and departures on a large screen in our observation deck and even request a flight watch for your loved ones’ arrival. Please note that long-term parking is not available, and the car park is open only from 10:00 to 22:00, Monday through Sunday.
Parking at the Terminal 3 bus stop – free parking
Between the bus stops K letišti and Terminal 3, you will find an unpaved parking lot with space for 22 cars. Although it is unguarded, this option is convenient for short-term parking.
Street Near Prague Airport where Parking is Free
Near the airport, you can find parking spaces that are not subject to the blue zone restrictions. For example, in Liboc, parking is currently free on some streets, such as Stochovská, Brodecká, or Jinočanská. A map that clearly shows the paid parking zones is available at Parking.Praha.eu.
U letiště Street Name Is a Bit Misleading.
Despite its name, U letiště does not offer numerous free parking spaces right behind the airport. In fact, you will be approximately 5.5 km away from the airport, with no guarantee of finding an available spot.
Lucky Empty Spots U Padesátníku
Although U Padesátníku is known for its free parking, only 13 spaces are available. Therefore, it is advisable to arrive early in the morning or late at night. The area is very safe and conveniently located next to a bus stop, with the airport just a 12-minute journey away.
U Prioru Street Has an Interesting Advantage
While U Prioru Street lacks many trees—making shaded parking nearly impossible—it offers the advantage of easy access if you are coming from the other side of Prague. Here, you can conveniently park among over one thousand available spaces without having to navigate through additional city neighbourhoods.
