Average rental prices in Prague provide a starting point for anyone looking for a home or planning to put an apartment on the market. According to the research based on the Deloitte Rent Index, the city\u2019s average monthly rent reached CZK 462 per square metre in the second quarter of 2026, compared with CZK 466 in the previous quarter. The decrease was 0.9%, but it does not necessarily indicate a structural market change. The research\u2019s consolidated figures cover January\u2013June: when the study closed on 14 September, third-quarter data were not yet available. These figures therefore describe the first half of the year, rather than a definitive annual average.<\/p>\n
Among the ten districts analysed, Praha 7 recorded the highest average in the second quarter, at CZK 493\/m\u00b2, followed by Praha 1 at CZK 490, Praha 2 at CZK 482 and Praha 3 at CZK 480. At the lower end were Praha 10, at CZK 442\/m\u00b2, and Praha 4, at CZK 443. For a hypothetical 60 m\u00b2 apartment, the difference between Praha 7 and Praha 10 amounts to CZK 3,060 per month. Trends also vary: Praha 9 recorded the largest quarterly increase, at 3.8%, while Praha 1 fell by 3%. These comparisons concern district averages, rather than the cheapest and most expensive individual listings.<\/p>\n
Location is not the only factor affecting the price. In the second quarter of 2026, panel blocks, or prefabricated buildings, recorded an average rent of CZK 427\/m\u00b2. Brick buildings reached CZK 459\/m\u00b2, while new developments stood at CZK 498\/m\u00b2. The gap between new developments and panel blocks was CZK 71\/m\u00b2, equivalent to CZK 4,260 per month for a 60 m\u00b2 apartment. This difference describes the observed segments: it cannot be attributed exclusively to building type, as locations and housing standards may vary. Comparing two apartments therefore requires considering the building, floor area and local characteristics together.<\/p>\n
Applying the city average of CZK 462\/m\u00b2, a 60 m\u00b2 apartment would have a theoretical monthly rent of CZK 27,720. This is an indicative calculation, rather than a quotation for a specific property. Smaller homes may have a higher price per square metre. Basic rent also differs from the total cost of living in the property. Listings may show building services, electricity, gas and internet separately. The deposit and agency fee are additional items to check. Before comparing offers, it is therefore necessary to establish which costs are included and which need to be added to the budget.<\/p>\n
For tenants and landlords, averages provide a useful reference, but they are insufficient to assess a specific address. Comparisons should begin with the district and neighbourhood, followed by building type and floor area. Renovation, furnishings, floor level, lift, natural light, balcony or terrace, noise and actual distance from metro and tram stops should then be examined. The research does not quantify a price premium for each feature. A reliable assessment requires comparable apartments and clearly separated additional costs.<\/p>\n
