Buying Land in Prague 2026

Prague's land market is specific: strong zoning-plan regulation, limited supply of building plots in central districts, high demand for suburban plots (Prague-East, Prague-West). Prices 5,000 – 25,000 CZK/m² by type and location.

Key Prague land factors: zoning plan, utilities at boundary, transport access. An 800 m² building plot in sought-after locations (Kunratice, Šeberov) costs 6–15 million CZK.
