Arriving in Prague by Car
Prague has a reasonably good road infrastructure; nevertheless this doesn't mean traffic jams or problems with finding a parking place don't occur. Also break-ins or vehicle thefts are a daily issue but are no worse than in any other European city. The wise thing to do is to leave your car in safe guarded car parks. Parking fees in Prague city centre can be fairly expensive and during peak hours it is hard to find empty spaces. By ignoring parking signs you are risking your car being towed away.
Czech Republic road infrastructure. The total length of roads and highways in the Czech Republic is approaching 55,500 kilometers, of which more than 2,600 kilometers constitute part of the "E" European road network; another 517 kilometers are highways.
