Hello,
My family (me, my husband, and our young adult kids aged 19, 21, and 23) will be traveling in Germany and Prague in mid-December. We're going over to meet our daughter as she finishes her study-abroad semester in Marburg, Germany. We're flying into Frankfurt, renting a car, then driving to Marburg for a night, then to Cologne for two nights, Rothenburg for 2 nights, and then to Prague for 2 nights before returning to Germany for our final night before heading back to Frankfurt to fly home (probably going to stay in Wurzburg but haven't made the final reservation yet). We are a little hesitant about driving to Prague as we have learned German-made vehicles won't be rental options (due to car theft concerns) and the extra fees, etc for crossing the border into Eastern Europe. We are exploring possibly parking the car in long-term parking in either Regensburg or Nuremburg and then taking a train or the Flixbus to Prague and back to get the car, but the additional expense to do that is significant on top of the car rental (the car rental agencies we've looked at aren't open on Sundays, so returning the car and then renting another for the final leg doesn't look feasible, and might not even save that much when a weekly vs daily rental is taken into consideration). Any advice or insight on our travel from Germany to Prague would be welcome.
Our apartment in Prague (5 minute walk from the Astronomical Clock) does not have onsite parking. They do recommend a lot about a 15 minute walk away, but according to that website parking reservations aren't accepted and we are worried that with it being Christmas market season we may get there and not find a spot. Any recommendations on secure, multi day parking options in Prague walking distance from the Old Town?
