Prague Rents in 2026: Which Districts Are the Most Expensive and Where Prices Are Rising
Prague’s Rental Market Slows in the Second Quarter
The Prague rental market in 2026 is showing the first signs of stabilization after several quarters of sustained growth. According to the Deloitte Rent Index for the second quarter of 2026, the average rent in the Czech capital decreased by 0.9% compared with the previous quarter, reaching approximately CZK 462 per square metre per month.
The decline remains limited and does not necessarily indicate a structural reversal in the market. Prague continues to be by far the most expensive rental market in the Czech Republic, supported by strong housing demand and significant differences between the various districts of the city.
Prague 7 Has the Highest Rental Prices
Differences between districts become particularly clear when looking at rental prices in Prague per square metre. In the second quarter of 2026, Prague 7 recorded the highest average rent in the capital, at approximately CZK 493/m² per month.
It was followed by Prague 1 at CZK 490/m² and Prague 2 at CZK 482/m². These figures confirm the strong demand for central and semi-central areas, where location, public transport connections, access to services and the overall quality of the urban environment generally contribute to higher rental prices.
Prague 9 Records the Fastest Growth
Perhaps the most interesting figure concerns Prague 9, which recorded the strongest increase in the capital during the second quarter: +3.8% quarter-on-quarter, bringing the average rent to approximately CZK 468/m².
This result shows how Prague’s real estate market is no longer focused exclusively on central districts. Well-connected neighbourhoods with new residential developments and good local services can attract an increasing share of rental demand. For property owners and investors, it is therefore important to consider not only current rental levels but also how quickly prices are changing across different areas of the city.
Where Rents Are More Affordable
Among the districts analysed, Prague 10 recorded an average rent of approximately CZK 442/m², while Prague 4 stood at around CZK 443/m². During the second quarter, both districts also experienced a decline in rental prices, of 2% and 2.2% respectively.
The most significant correction was recorded in Prague 1, where rents fell by 3% compared with the previous quarter. Prague 8 also saw a decrease of 2.9%. These figures highlight the importance of assessing the Prague rental market district by district, rather than relying solely on the citywide average.
What to Expect from Prague’s Rental Market
The slight decline recorded in the second quarter does not necessarily mean that renting a home in Prague will become significantly cheaper. Deloitte describes the current trend as a possible correction following a period of more dynamic growth, while demand in the capital remains strong.
For tenants, comparing different districts can therefore make a significant difference to monthly housing costs. For property owners and investors, understanding how individual districts are evolving can help provide a clearer picture of an property’s potential return.
In 2026, the Prague rental market therefore remains highly competitive, but it is increasingly characterised by different dynamics from one neighbourhood to another.
