Motorhome through the Czech Republic | Guide 2026

Yes, a vignette is required when driving through the Czech Republic if you use motorways or expressways. The official information service for Czech vignettes is run by dalnicni-znamka.cz, managed by the state Transport Infrastructure Fund.

If you are driving a motorhome up to 3.5 tonnes, you purchase the same vignette as all other passenger cars. The following types are available (updated: 2026):

• 1-day – 230 CZK (~€9)
• 10-day – 300 CZK (~€12)
• 30-day – 480 CZK (~€20)
• Annual – 2,570 CZK (~€106)

If the motorhome weighs more than 3.5 tonnes, it falls under Mýto – the toll system for heavy goods vehicles. More details: Road tolls Czech Republic »

The most comfortable option with full facilities – electricity, water, sanitary facilities, showers, laundry, sometimes a pool or restaurant. The greatest concentration of campsites can be found around Prague, by Lake Lipno, in the Krkonoše and in Moravia.

Dedicated stopping places for motorhomes, often near tourist attractions. Facilities include electricity, water, grey water disposal and toilets. Good for short stops in towns or on a transit route.

Often marked as "P+R" or long-stay car parks. They do not always have access to water and electricity, but can be in excellent locations. Always check local regulations – overnight stays in a motorhome are not permitted everywhere.

Particularly popular in South Moravia. You can park your motorhome on the grounds of a farm or vineyard, often in exchange for buying local produce. A great way to experience Czech hospitality and try regional flavours.

Parking a motorhome is permitted:

• at campsites and motorhome zones (místa pro karavany),
• in private and commercial car parks,
• in some municipal car parks – if there is no prohibition sign.

Parking a motorhome is not permitted:

• outside designated areas – forests, meadows, lakeside areas,
• in national parks, nature reserves, etc.,
• on private land without the owner's permission.

It depends on the type of car park. In the Czech Republic you can sleep in a motorhome in private and commercial car parks (if the owner gives permission), in motorhome zones, and in some municipal car parks where there is no overnight stay prohibition sign.

No, camping outside designated areas is prohibited in the Czech Republic.

You cannot park a motorhome in forests, on meadows, by lakes and rivers. Wild camping is most strictly enforced in national parks, nature reserves and other protected areas.
