Renting Accommodation in Prague

Before signing a lease, students should understand typical rental conditions:

  • Monthly rent: €400–€850
  • Security deposit: Usually one month’s rent
  • Lease term: Semester or academic year
  • Utilities: Confirm inclusion of internet, cleaning, and energy costs

Accommodation fills quickly before the fall semester. Booking 2–3 months in advance is strongly recommended.

Short-term stays (hostels or serviced apartments) are common for students arriving early or awaiting visa approval.

Prague is widely regarded as a safe European capital with reliable public transportation. Most recommended housing options are located within 15–25 minutes of campus by tram or metro.

Living near UNYP helps students minimize commute time and participate more actively in campus life.
