What to Do in Prague Before Your Evening Flight

Make the Most of Your Last Day in Prague

Evening flights are popular when leaving Prague – but they create a common problem: you check out in the morning and suddenly have 6–10 hours before you need to be at the airport. With luggage, that time is difficult to enjoy. Without luggage, it can be the best part of your trip.

1. Why travelers struggle on their last day

Prague is full of narrow streets, stairs, cobblestones and crowded trams – carrying suitcases around for a whole day is simply not practical. And if you're staying in an Airbnb, early checkout means you often have no place to leave your bags at all.

2. What to do in Prague before an evening flight

Here are the most enjoyable ways to spend your final day in the city:

• Old Town morning walk: Charles Bridge is quiet before 10:00.
• Cafés with views: Letná, Riegrovy sady or Vinohrady.
• Vltava river cruise: perfect for relaxing before your flight.
• Lunch in the center: try local dishes without rushing.
• Last-minute shopping: small design stores and local crafts.
• Photo spots: Petrin Hill, Kampa, the riverside.

3. What NOT to do before your evening flight

• ❌ Don’t go to the airport too early – there’s very little to do.
• ❌ Don’t carry your luggage all day – it ruins the last-day experience.
• ❌ Don’t depend on finding a free locker – they fill up quickly.

4. Best ways to handle your luggage

You have several options depending on your accommodation and plans:

• Hotel storage room: only works if you stay in a hotel.
• Station lockers: useful but require returning later.
• Storage shops: work, but limit your day with pickup deadlines.
• Luggage pickup & airport delivery: ideal if you want the whole day free.

The last option is becoming the go-to choice: you check out, hand your bags to a driver and enjoy Prague luggage-free. Later, before your flight, you meet at the airport to get everything back.
