What a private concierge does in Prague
A private concierge is a single point of contact who organises and coordinates, on your behalf, what would otherwise take dozens of calls in a foreign language. In Prague, our requests fall into five groups:
- Stays: selected residences and hotels, transfers, chauffeur, restaurant tables, cultural outings.
- Relocation: home search, international schools, formalities and trusted providers.
- Real estate: introductions to lawyers, notaries and agents, viewing coordination, residence management after purchase.
- Corporate: off-sites, business dinners, delegations and executive assistance.
- Medical coordination: appointments and logistics with private facilities, with no medical act on our side.
We act as an intermediary: each service is delivered by a qualified professional, selected and supervised by our team.
Sought-after residential districts
- Malá Strana and Hradčany (Prague 1): Baroque palaces, gardens and views over the Vltava, below the castle. Rare properties, often in listed buildings.
- Staré Město and Josefov (Prague 1): the historic core and Pařížská street with its boutiques; heavy tourist footfall to consider if quiet matters.
- Vinohrady (Prague 2 and 10): Art Nouveau buildings, tree-lined avenues, Riegrovy sady and Havlíčkovy sady parks; residential life and many restaurants.
- Bubeneč, Hořejší nábřeží and Prague 6: villas with gardens, embassies, Stromovka park, close to international schools.
Prices depend on the exact address, condition and view: we publish no price grid; each search is a mandate given to licensed agents.
Cultural calendar 2026-2027
- Christmas markets: Old Town Square and Wenceslas Square from 28 November 2026 to 6 January 2027. At the castle there has been no market since 2022, but a free Christmas walk runs from 28 November 2026 to 3 January 2027.
- Prague Spring: 82nd edition from 12 May to 2 June 2027, dedicated to Beethoven.
- Karlovy Vary International Film Festival: 61st edition from 2 to 10 July 2027.
- Designblok: 29th edition from 6 to 10 October 2027.
- Prague Fashion Week: 2027 dates to be confirmed.
For these periods we recommend booking accommodation, tables and transfers several months ahead. Access is through each organiser’s official box office and channels.
Investing in Prague: the short-term rental framework
A foreign buyer considering renting an apartment by the night should check the framework before signing:
- No general ban in Prague 1, but an August 2026 ruling of the Supreme Administrative Court confirms that the building authority may prohibit a use that contradicts the building’s occupancy approval (kolaudace).
- Key distinction: a “byt” (dwelling) is not an “ubytovací zařízení” (accommodation facility). The approved use must match the activity.
- National eTurista register announced for 2027.
- EU Regulation 2024/1028 on data collection for short-term rentals, applicable since 20 May 2026.
AC PRIVATE - A List concierge does not manage holiday lets: we coordinate checks with a local lawyer and private residence management. This is not legal advice.

- Essential plan: from €299 per month.

Frequently asked questions
How do you choose a private concierge in Prague?
Check local presence, languages spoken, pricing transparency, contractual confidentiality and the ability to work with licensed professionals (lawyers, agents, chauffeurs). Ask for a detailed quote before any commitment.
How much does a private concierge in Prague cost?
Our published plans start at €299 per month (Essential) and €799 per month (Premium). One-off assignments and events are quoted individually; third-party services are billed in addition.
Can you attend the Prague Spring festival at short notice?
Tickets are sold through the festival’s official box office; the most popular concerts fill early. We arrange booking as soon as sales open and the logistics around it, with no ticket resale.
Can a foreigner buy an apartment in Prague?
Yes, purchases by non-residents are possible. Have a Czech lawyer check the title, the approved use of the property and your rental plans before any offer. We coordinate these checks, without giving legal or tax advice ourselves.
Do you manage short-term rentals?
No. We manage private residences (upkeep, arrival preparation, providers) for their owners and guests, not nightly rental operations.
Which languages do you work in?
In French, English, Czech and German. A single point of contact: [email protected].
