Overnight at the Airport

If you plan to spend the night at Prague Václav Havel Airport (PRG), it is important to be prepared. Although the airport is relatively small and easy to navigate between its two main terminals, the lights usually remain on throughout the night and the temperature can drop. It is recommended to bring an eye mask, as well as blankets or a sleeping bag for added comfort. Always keep your boarding pass handy, as security staff may request it.

Where to Rest

You will find numerous seats throughout the airport, although most have armrests, which can make prolonged rest difficult. One of the best options is the rest area located on the first floor of Terminal 2, between Gates C and D, known for being quieter and offering comfortable chairs. Another alternative is to consider access to one of the airport's VIP lounges; however, it is crucial to check their opening hours, as many close overnight. For those seeking more private rest, the AeroRooms hotel in Terminal 1 offers accommodation directly within the airport, and there are also various nearby hotels for overnight stays.

Luggage

For added convenience, the airport has a 24-hour luggage storage service in Terminal 2, allowing you to store your bags securely until your check-in or departure time.

Food and Drink

Throughout both terminals, there are several 24-hour food and drink options, ensuring you always have access to something to eat or drink during the night.

Toilets and Showers

Free showers are located in Hall D on the third floor of Terminal 2 and are available from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm. Additionally, toilets are distributed throughout the airport.

Wi-Fi

The airport provides free and unlimited Wi-Fi throughout all its facilities.

Other 24-Hour Services

Services operating 24 hours and useful overnight include ATMs, duty-free shops, a prayer room, children's play areas, and baby care facilities.

Services and opening hours can change. If you plan to sleep in the public area, have a plan B: some airports only let passengers with a flight stay overnight.

Tips for a long layover

  1. Check whether you can leave the airport: it depends on your nationality, the visa rules of Czechia and whether your bags are checked through.
  2. If you sleep airside, you will usually need a boarding pass for a flight that day. Ask your airline before you go through security.
  3. A lounge with day access can be cheaper than a hotel for a few hours: see VIP lounges at PRG.
  4. Keep your valuables with you, set an alarm and carry a light layer: terminals are often cold at night.
  5. Going to a hotel in town? See transportation from PRG (12 km to Prague), and check which services run at night.
