Travelling Prague as a Family: The Luggage Problem
Traveling with kids is different. Instead of one neat carry-on you usually have strollers, snacks, spare clothes, toys and at least one suitcase per adult. Prague is beautiful — but narrow pavements, trams and cobblestones make it hard work if you drag all your bags with you on the last day.
This guide shows you how to plan your final day in Prague as a family so your luggage doesn’t control your schedule.
1. Know your timeline: checkout, nap time and airport arrival
- Checkout time — usually 10:00–11:00.
- Nap time — many toddlers need a quiet break early afternoon.
- Airport arrival — ideally 2–3 hours before departure.
2. Hotel vs. Airbnb: what can you expect?
Hotels often offer luggage rooms. Airbnbs usually don’t. Even in hotels, families may not want to return just for bags — especially if kids fall asleep on the other side of town.
- ✔ Hotel luggage room — good if you return to the same area.
- ✘ Not ideal if you want to finish the day near your airport route.
3. Are lockers and storage shops family-friendly?
- Will the stroller fit?
- Do you want an extra stop at the end of a long day?
- Is it on your natural route to the airport?
4. Planning a family-friendly last-day route
- Choose one area and stay there most of the day.
- Add a park or playground stop.
- Pick lunch spots where kids can move.
- Avoid city-wide backtracking for luggage.
5. How luggage pickup helps families
- No juggling kids and suitcases on trams.
- Your route follows kids’ needs — not storage locations.
- Calmer airport arrival for everyone.
6. Practical checklist before leaving Prague
- One light day bag only.
- Documents & medicine always with you.
- One planned quiet break.
- Transport to airport decided in advance.
- Luggage solution booked the day before.
