Škoda Palace

The building, which was completed in 1926, designed by the architect Pavel Janák, originally served as the headquarters of the engineering company Škoda Works. After renovation works in 2006, most of Prague City Hall administration was moved to the palace. This is where, among many other services, citizens deal with identity cards, driving licences or Opencard. During office hours, citizens can also make use of the information centre and free children’s corner. For easiest communication with the City administration, citizens can visit the Public Service Unit at counters 12-20.
