License & regulation

Risk: mediumLicense requiredRegistration required

Czechia treats STR as 'accommodation services' rather than residential use. Trade licence (živnostenský list) and tourism fee registration required. A 2024 amendment lets Prague districts impose local restrictions; Prague 1 and 2 are exploring caps.

Worst case
Prague 1 (Old Town / Castle area) introduces a hard cap; revenue in the highest-yielding zone falls sharply.

What kind of Airbnbs are in Prague?
