Luggage storage and bag rules at the National Museum

Most visitors reach the National Museum through Wenceslas Square, which sits at the top of Prague's New Town and doubles as a transport and shopping artery.

The National Museum complex — the Historical Building and the New Building, linked underground — requires visitors to store luggage or backpacks larger than 40 x 30 x 20 cm in its free cloakrooms. The cloakroom is free, though if it fills up you may need a five-crown or one-euro coin for a locker.

Opening hours are daily from 10:00 to 18:00. The museum complex is located at Václavské náměstí 68, Praha 1.

The National Museum is an institution established by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic. Wenceslas Square is a 750-meter-long public boulevard that hosted the 1989 Velvet Revolution. With Stasher, you can store bags from €1.49 per bag per day at 20+ locations near the National Museum.

Getting to the National Museum with luggage

Metro trains at Muzeum station operate from 04:47 to 00:07 on line A and from 04:42 to 00:02 on line C. If you arrive by coach, Florenc — Prague's main international bus station — is located elsewhere in the city and has its own storage desk charging 80 CZK per item per calendar day.

Václavské náměstí is also served by Můstek metro station on lines A and B at its lower end.

Nearby sights and their own bag policies

Old Town Square itself has no dedicated luggage storage or public lockers, so don't count on dropping a bag there between sights. The same goes for the Powder Tower, which has no left-luggage facilities, and the Dancing House, which has no cloakroom or storage at all — though the latter is only a seven-minute walk from Karlovo náměstí metro station on Line B.

The Palladium Shopping Centre, meanwhile, prohibits excessive luggage outright, so you'll need your bags sorted before browsing. The National Theatre is served by the Národní třída metro station on Line B, a 5-minute walk away. The Dancing House is served by tram lines 5 and 17 at the Jiráskovo náměstí stop, right by the building.
