Prague welcomed nearly 2.32 million visitors between July and September 2026, a 3 percent increase compared with the same period last year.
The number of Czech visitors rose faster than international arrivals, although foreign tourists continued to account for more than 80 percent of all guests.
Visitors recorded a total of 5.51 million overnight stays in the capital, up 3.8 percent year-on-year, according to figures released Monday by the Czech Statistical Office (CZSO).
Accommodation establishments across Prague registered 402,021 domestic guests during the third quarter, a 9.4 percent increase from a year earlier. The number of international visitors reached more than 1.91 million, representing growth of 1.7 percent.
Foreign tourists accounted for approximately 4.79 million overnight stays, compared with 725,167 by Czech visitors. The average stay was 2.4 nights. International guests spent an average of 2.5 nights in Prague, while domestic visitors stayed for 1.8 nights.
Germany remained the largest source of international visitors, with 274,885 guests. The United States ranked second with 172,126 visitors, followed by Poland with 128,076.
Arrivals from Taiwan increased by 27 percent year-on-year, followed by Israel at 26 percent and Ireland at 23 percent.
Hotel occupancy in Prague has also continued to recover. According to PCT, the average occupancy rate reached 78 percent this year, approximately 12 percent higher than in 2023. In September, occupancy at luxury hotels stood at 83 percent.
PCT has increasingly focused its marketing campaigns on visitors over the age of 30 with an interest in culture, history and architecture. The strategy aims to strengthen Prague’s position as a cultural destination rather than a place primarily associated with cheap drinking and party tourism.
Across the Czech Republic, collective accommodation establishments recorded 8.17 million guests during the third quarter of 2026.
