Every day, Prague hosts dozens of exciting social events—opening nights, concerts, theater performances, and film premieres. The Albertov Rental Apartments complex is the heart of it all. Within just a few minutes’ walk, residents can reach the National Theater, the National Museum, the Lucerna Concert Hall, renowned Prague clubs, and cozy, intimate cafés. There is no room for monotony here.
Prague: A City with a Unique Spirit
A simple walk along the embankment or through the historic streets, perhaps exploring the churches and courtyards of old houses, reveals Prague’s charm—especially at dusk, when the city’s legends seem to come to life. Prague unveils itself in all its splendor—bustling and energetic, yet magical and calming. Do you feel like attending a lively party or perhaps feeding swans on Kampa in quiet reflection today? Whether you want to ride a bike along the river, sail on a boat, or play beach volleyball with friends on Císařský ostrov, everything is possible.
Prague’s Challenge: The Car Problem
With its endless entertainment and sports opportunities, living in the center of Prague is a dream for many. However, it requires the right conditions, and parking has become an increasingly pressing issue. There are a million registered cars in Prague, with hundreds of thousands more arriving each day. Parking is challenging, and the so-called blue zones, which are reserved for residents at a fee, struggle to keep up with the influx of drivers. It is common for someone to have paid for a parking permit yet still be unable to find a free parking spot within hundreds of meters of their home when they return.
Apartment in the City Center with Parking Included
Private underground garages should be a standard feature of every new complex in Prague, as they are in the Albertov Rental Apartments complex. Whether tenants plan to stay for a few days, weeks, or years, each fully equipped apartment includes a parking space within the complex. The residential buildings are connected to the garages by an elevator, allowing tenants to move between their apartment and car with ease, even in bad weather, staying dry the entire way.
Parking is something that Albertov residents enjoy and that their neighbors under Vyšehrad can only envy. Prague 2 has one of the lowest numbers of parking spaces in the paid blue zones in the capital—out of a total of 101,107 spaces, it has only 7,897.
Enjoy the Freedom of Movement without a Car
On the other hand, a healthy person in Prague can easily get by without a car. The city boasts an extensive public transportation network, which serves 2.8 million people every day. Public transport accounts for nearly 60 percent of travel in Prague, compared to 40 percent for cars.
The metro alone transports 338 million passengers annually, trams carry 315 million, and buses serve 258 million. The rest is primarily handled by trains, though public transport also includes the Petřín funicular, ferries on the Vltava River, and the relatively new trolleybuses (one line replaced bus 119 to the airport).
Prague is a city that ‘never sleeps,’ and this applies to its public transport system as well. Although the metro operates only until midnight and resumes at five in the morning, the city is covered by a network of daytime and nighttime tram and bus lines that run 24/7.
