Prague Luggage Tips for Families
with Kids & Strollers

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 will show you how to plan your final day in Prague as a family so that your luggage doesn’t control your schedule.

1. Know your timeline: checkout, nap time and airport arrival

Before you decide where to store your luggage, write down three key times:

• Checkout time – hotel or Airbnb, usually 10:00–11:00.
• Usual nap time – many toddlers need a quiet break in the early afternoon.
• Latest reasonable arrival at the airport – typically 2–3 hours before departure.

Once you see these three points on a timeline, you’ll know how many “usable hours” you really have in the city.

2. Hotel vs. Airbnb: what can you expect?

If you stay in a hotel, you may be able to leave your luggage in a storage room. With an Airbnb, that option usually doesn’t exist. Even in hotels, families often prefer not to come back just for the bags – especially if the kids finally fall asleep in the stroller on the other side of town.

• ✔ Hotel luggage room – best if you plan to return to the same area.
• ✘ Not ideal if you want to finish your day close to the airport bus or train.

3. Are lockers and storage shops family-friendly?

Prague Main Station and some city-center shops offer luggage storage. For solo travelers it’s often enough. For families, there are a few extra questions:

• Will the stroller fit?
• Do you feel comfortable going there with tired kids at the end of the day?
• Is it on your natural route towards the airport?

If any of those answers is “probably not”, it might be worth considering alternatives.

4. Planning a family-friendly last-day route

Families usually benefit from a simple, low-stress plan:

1. Start in one area and stay there for most of the day – for example, Old Town & riverfront.
2. Include at least one playground or park stop – Letná, Kampa or Riegrovy sady work well.
3. Choose a lunch spot where kids can move around without stress.
4. Avoid unnecessary backtracking across the city just to pick up luggage.

5. How a luggage pickup service helps families

For families with children, the main benefit of luggage pickup is not luxury – it’s energy and sanity. Being able to hand over all large bags in the morning and keep only a day bag and stroller changes the whole day.

• You don’t need to balance suitcases and kids on trams and metro.
• You can choose your route based on what the children need, not where your bags are stored.
• You arrive at the airport later, with kids less tired and parents less stressed.

Services like Voyli.one pick up luggage at your accommodation, transport it securely and meet you again at Prague Airport before your flight. That way, your last memory of the city is a family walk or a final ice cream – not a fight with suitcases.

6. Practical checklist for families leaving Prague

• Pack one light “day bag” with everything you need until boarding.
• Keep important documents and medicine with you at all times.
• Plan one “quiet time” slot for kids – café, park or river cruise.
• Decide in advance how and when you’ll get to the airport.
• Arrange luggage storage or pickup the day before, not on the morning itself.
