Prague Luggage Storage | Lockers & Services Guide

You've checked out of your hotel at 11 AM but your train doesn't leave until 7 PM. Or you've arrived early and your room isn't ready. Or you're doing a day trip to Prague between other destinations and don't want to drag a suitcase across Charles Bridge. Prague has good options for storing luggage — at the main train station, in commercial lockers and through app-based services.

Here's where to leave your bags, what it costs, and which option works best for your situation.

Praha Hlavni Nadrazi — Main Train Station

Prague Main Station (Praha hlavni nadrazi) has the most obvious luggage storage — manned left-luggage counters and self-service lockers in the lower level of the station.

Left-luggage counter (Uschovna zavazadel): Open daily, typically from early morning to late evening. Staff take your bag, give you a ticket, and you retrieve it when ready. Prices are per bag per day — roughly 60 to 100 CZK for a standard suitcase (as of 2026). The counter is in the basement level near the platforms.

Lockers: Self-service coin-operated lockers are available in sizes ranging from backpack to large suitcase. Prices start at 40 to 80 CZK for small lockers, 80 to 120 CZK for large. Availability can be limited during peak travel periods — if every locker is taken, the manned counter is your backup.

Insider detail: The main station is undergoing long-term renovation. The location of luggage services may shift between the basement, ground floor and temporary facilities. Look for signs reading "Uschovna" (storage) or ask at the information desk. The DP information point near the main hall usually has updated directions.

Praha Holesovice and Other Stations

Praha Holesovice station (north Prague, some international trains) has a smaller left-luggage facility. Hours are more limited than the main station.

Praha Smichov station (south/west Prague, trains to Karlstejn and Plzen) has lockers in the station building. These are convenient if you're heading on a day trip to Karlstejn and want to leave bags before exploring.

Florenc Bus Station (main intercity bus terminal) has limited luggage storage options. If arriving by FlixBus or RegioJet bus, check current availability — the facility has changed several times during station renovations.

Commercial Luggage Storage Services

Several private companies operate luggage-storage points across central Prague, typically in partnership with shops, hotels and hostels. These are often more convenient than the train station if you're exploring the city centre.

Radical Storage (formerly BagBnB) and LuggageHero operate through apps — you book online, drop your bag at a participating location (a shop, cafe or hotel lobby), and pick it up later. Pricing is typically per bag per hour (roughly €1 per hour) or per day (€5 to €8). Locations are spread across Old Town, Mala Strana and near major transport hubs.

Nannybag operates similarly, with locations bookable through their app. Insurance is usually included in the price.

Insider detail: App-based services offer the advantage of choosing a drop-off point near where you'll be exploring. If you're spending the day in Old Town, dropping bags at a location on Na Prikope or near Namesti Republiky saves you a trip to the train station. Book in advance during summer — popular locations fill up.

How to Choose

If you're arriving/departing by train: Main station lockers or left-luggage counter. Simplest option, no app needed, physically adjacent to your departure platform.

If you're exploring all day between check-out and evening departure: App-based storage near your sightseeing area. Drop bags in Old Town at 11 AM, explore until 6 PM, retrieve and head to the station.

If you're transiting through Prague for a day: Main station storage. Leave bags when you arrive, explore the city, return before your onward journey.

If you have oversized or unusual luggage: The manned left-luggage counter at the main station handles items that won't fit in lockers — musical instruments, sports equipment, oversized boxes. App-based services may have size limitations.

Luggage Storage Near Key Attractions

Near Old Town Square: Several LuggageHero and Radical Storage locations operate within 5 minutes of Staromestske namesti. Hotels and hostels near Namesti Republiky frequently partner with storage apps. Drop bags here if your sightseeing day centres on Old Town and the Jewish Quarter.

Near Prague Castle: Options are limited on the castle hill itself. Your best bet is Mala Strana — storage locations near Malostranske namesti or Ujezd. Leave bags before ascending to the castle (via Tram 22 or on foot) and retrieve them when you descend.

Near Wenceslas Square: The central location means multiple options within walking distance. The Mustek metro area and surrounding streets have several partner locations for app-based services.

Insider detail: If you're doing a day trip from Prague (to Karlstejn, Kutna Hora, etc.) and returning to Prague before a late evening departure, store bags at the main station before your day trip rather than dragging them to Old Town and back. The station is the most likely place you'll return to anyway.

Tips for Smooth Storage

Label your bags: Put your name and phone number on a tag attached to each bag. If using lockers, photograph the locker number and your receipt.

Don't store valuables: Keep passport, phone, wallet and electronics with you. Luggage storage is safe, but irreplaceable documents belong in your daypack.

Check closing times: Station manned counters close in the evening. Verify the closing time when you drop off bags. App-based locations vary — some are shops that close at 6 PM, others are 24-hour hotels.

Book early in summer: Popular app-based locations near Old Town can fill up during peak July and August. Book your storage slot the day before if possible.

Security Considerations

All legitimate luggage storage — station lockers, manned counters and app-based services — is safe. Station lockers have individual keys or codes. Manned counters issue numbered receipts. App-based services typically include insurance (check the terms).

Don't leave luggage with unofficial individuals offering storage on the street. Don't leave bags unattended in public spaces — Prague's transport police treat unattended luggage seriously and will call for removal.
