Quick answer: best luggage storage option depends on your day
Hotel reception
Often easiest and free — but you may need to return later to pick up bags.
- Best for: short city walk, flexible timing
- Watch out: returning before airport
Lockers (stations)
Self-service. Can be full in peak season and sizes can be limited.
- Best for: nearby route, single bag
- Watch out: availability & detour
Storage shops
Convenient if central. Always check opening hours and reviews.
- Best for: daytime storage near sights
- Watch out: security & closing time
The real trade-off: storage vs same-day airport delivery
Storage solves “where do I put my bags?”, but not “how do I get to the airport without a detour”. If you fly later today, the detour is often the worst part.
| What matters | Storage (lockers/shops) | Same-day airport delivery |
|---|---|---|
| How many times you handle bags | Twice (drop + pick-up) | Once (hand over → done) |
| Detour before the airport | Usually yes | No |
| Risk of “full / closed” | Possible (peak season / closing hours) | Availability check upfront |
| Best for | Short stop, flexible schedule | Late flight, full day in the city |

FAQ
Where can I store luggage in Prague?
Most travelers use hotel reception, station lockers, or private storage shops. The best option depends on timing and whether you want to avoid returning for your bags before the airport.
Are lockers reliable in peak season?
They can be busy and sometimes full. If your schedule is tight or you have multiple bags, plan a fallback option.
What if I have a late flight?
Late flights are where storage often becomes annoying (detour + pick-up). A same-day airport delivery option removes the return trip entirely.
