Border Zones
In the areas along either side of the borders of Prague 1 and 2, there are designated places known as průkinové zóny where residents from both districts can park. These places are marked OBLAST 1+2. A list of the streets where you can find them is here. (in Czech).

Parking in Prague 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10
These districts have yet to introduce the paid parking zones system.  Instead it is possible to park wherever there is a designated parking area. Look for a blue sign with a large white ‘P’. Attached to the sign will be the hours when parking is possible, if there are any restrictions.

There are also private secure parking sites which so incur a cost. These are private concerns and have their own prices and times. Here is a list of some of them (in Czech).

Park and Ride
A good option for people who commute from out of Prague is “Park and Ride” (P&R). P&R places are located at the metro stops Skalka, Zlíčin, Nové Butovice, Palmovka, Rajská zahrada, Černý most, Nádraží Holešovice and Opatov. This handy map can even show you how many spaces are vacant (volných mist) and how many are occupied (obsazených mist) at each of the car parks.

There are three basic possibilities with P&R:
10 CZK which does not include travel on the metro. This suitable for those with a monthly, quarterly or annual travel pass or those who work near the P&R places and do not need to use the metro or any other form of public transport.
50 CZK return-ticket (parkovaci listek se zpatecni jizdenkou) which allows for one 75 minute (90 minute in off peak time) journey from the station and another 75 minute (90 minute in off peak time) journey back. It is recommended that you have both tickets when you leave.
90 CZK all day ticket (parkovaci listek se jednodenní jizdenkou). As the name suggests, this allows you to park and the use the Prague integrated transport system for the day of issue.
