3:06 really? That astronomical clock is the oldest existing functioning astronomical clock in the world. Definitely the most famous one. It is an engineering marvel 600 years old. There is pretty much nothing like this anywhere in the world. It's not about the 'show', it's about realizing that this is one of the most complex ancient mechanims.
Hey Raya! Nice shots from Prague! Let me just explain some of the things you came across and wasn't really sure what they are...the statue you wondered about on the Charles Bridge is the statue of St. John of Nepomuk, who, according to the legend, didn't want to tell Czech king Wenceslas IV a confessional secret of his wife...therefore he ended up being tortured and thrown from the Charles Bridge into the river where he drawn...he has the fanciest casket in the St. Vitus Cathedral all made out of pure silver... Also, that "traditional" pastry originally comes from Romania from Transylvania. Hungarians would go to war over the fact that it's their national pastry. Long story short - it's never really been in Prague until about 10 years ago :-) Oh and lastly, Astronomical Clock is not worth the crowds only if you don't know how does it work...if you do, it's pretty cool medieval artwork. Cheers, Mike
I hope Honest Prague Guide doesn't see the video and especially you holding that trdelnik*... because it's not traditional at all. Prague is one of my top cities! I love you and your videos so much. Hope you have an amazing time in Europe.
but why does he keep saying its not ? i m confused ! When i first came to Prague back in 2015 i had probably 6 trdelniks in a week! I freakin love them but i thought it was Hungarian.
It has been czech "tradition" of last 15-20 years. It is originally from parts of today's Romania from where it was brought to Hungary and in last few years it is spread everywhere around central Europe promoted as very traditional local speciality. Honest Prague guide does not like that downtown Prague is full of not czech enterpreneurs who made look Trdelnik as very old traditional thing here and that these people made Prague 1 place with no real value for tourists and local people as well because it is full of tourist traps like one claiming that trdelnik has hundreds of years history here.
mynameisondra it's still fucking good tho...honest guide brags about trdelník being not Czech yet the best ice cream in Prague he tells you to eat is Italian...I don't think it's bad thing to get trdelník when tourists go here at all...there aren't many countries that sell them like that, at least i haven't seen them to be sold in that huge amount anywhere else so why not
grumpy impjee it is overpriced...terribly overpriced. But tell me which famous thing in any country isn't overpriced? And I wouldn't say it tastes like shit...if it tasted like shit people wouldn't buy it and it wouldn't be so popular.
grumpy juice - it is not czech and yes the ones in Prg. taste like shit. I would not say they are expensive as you don't get an empty mug for 2 euros in most european cities, but i would eat some sausages instead. Sausages are also not czech and even dumplings are not czech and pertzels are not czech these are all over Germany, but they are still traditional in CR and have regional mutations which you can only find in CR. Generally the food is very good in CR - my favorite is the 'tatarák' - and eating out is rather cheap in my opinion, however i miss the spicy hot things but you can't have everything, everywhere. The service in pubs, restaurants could be better it is not the best in the CEE region.
You can travel Prague for pretty cheap if you stay out of the tourist traps, asks locals about the best restaurants. All the younger people speak English. I was born there and love to go visit, it's so beautiful. I recommend spring, summer and early fall. Lufthansa has the best deals lately. Best of luck! 😍
That is me at 5:39 under the small head-Rebecca global citizen of the world. I was at the John Lennon wall in early September 2017. Frustrated by present travel restrictions I was wandering youtube of some of my favorite places and came across this vide. Grateful to have this memory, as I was travelling as a minimalist and had no documentation of my being on the wall-very cool Raya!
Raya you have shown once again that there are way more than a set number of wonders of the world. And as wonderful a person as you are, presenting these splendors to us..well what more could we ask for?? I love even the little things you included, i.e. the bubble shot :)
Every time watching your videos makes me Smile. Your shots and the music you choose is dream like. Thanks for taking us around one of the coolest places on earth. Safe Travels
I have no idea how you can stay in a hostel I feel weird sleeping in the same room as group of strangers. I couldn't even sleep after a one night stand because there was someone I hardly know next to.
Hey Raya, cool video for Prague, its such a beautiful city, I was there last year and loved it. If you haven't, you should definitely still check out Krakow. Its a great city!
I came back from backpacking just a few weeks ago, and Prague was definitely one of my favorites cities! You went in all of the same spots I went, wish I was there again and could have met you!!
Funny about the chimney cakes, apparently they only became a Czech "tradition" around 3 years ago, and they're actually Hungarian! Our walking tour guide shared all the tourist traps with us haha.
The statue rubbing is usually for good luck, to heal ailments of whatever the saint is responsible for, and often for fertility - which, if I remember correctly, the statue with the shiny D is for XD
Great video! As you may have guessed, Czechs don't rub statues, tourists do. Trdelnik is not Czech, nor would qualify as good pastry. Venture into any cafe or Cukrarstvi/Pekarna and try stuff there (away from the tourist runs) ... Czech sweets are up there with beer - very yummy.
You should visit Olomouc :) is in Czech Republic too and its just as beautiful as Prague but smaller and withnout so many tourists - and we also have astronomical clock in Olomouc and it's more beautiful than the one in Prague :D
ArtHole Hostel.I loved staying in that hostel. Your video came up to me random, and it just gave me so many flashbacks about my trip in Prague! Awesome vid!
Well that pastry called "trdelník" is actually from Slovakia, particularly from the area called Záhorie, around Skalica: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trdeln%C3%ADk
Sooo funny... I stayed in the same room as you guys when I went to Prague last year :) Loves the atmosphere so much there...pretty rare for a Hostel in touristy places :)
Madel Salazar well, they are simply idiots. They are trying to steal turists money. Mostly. Use Uber or Taxify app. Very useful could be "Honest guide Prague" channel here on the YT.
Haha, the "miniature houses" are thr famous Golden Lane :) it's where the alchemists serving the king used to live. Also, trdelník is frikkin delicious, but not a traditional Czech pasty (i love it anyway, but some Czechs don't like it being called traditional :D). Great video btw and I'm glad you liked my hometown!
Your comment about the clock not being worth the show made me giggle... when I was there we waited for it and it was the biggest disappointment of our trip 😂 loved Prague and would love to go back there again
I loved Prague I went two months ago for four days didnt see them mini like shops you have in this Vlog though so that was interesting. As you say the architecture is amazing but I think Vienna tops it for me the architecture there is superb.
Hi Raya. Thanks for Your beautiful Prague vlog. I live here and had so much fun watching it. Seems that You are informated very well, because the most of foreign vloggers calls the country Czechia, part of the Eastern Europe which is probably the worst thing You can tell to Czech people :D :D You have great vibe, I will continue to watch Your travellings and stuffs. Btw, that restaurant is not underpriced at all since our average wage is like 4 pounds an hour. Greetings from Prague, Roman.
Thats true, its technically correct, even in google maps its Czechia, but I think it didnt have so much success with locals. Atleast I personally dont know anybody, who likes it :)
Hi Raya! Great video! I am traveling to Prague soon. The link for hostel info shows many hostels available in the city but I would like more details on the one you stayed in. I liked the idea of an affordable dinner with all the travelers!! Your reply will be super useful thanks!
@@brandonn.410 In Sudan, archaeologists have found a vessel estimated to be 7,000 years old in which beer remains have been found. A similar find was found in northern China (Jianhu) 9,000 years old. So the beer is not from Europe.
It’s funny that the two most popular "Czech" specialties served in Prague are both Hungarian, Goulash (gulyás) and Trdelnik (kürtőskalács). Works well as a tourist rip-off.
That is not completely true. Goulash is present in every central european country now and yes it comes originally from Hungary but the czech one is flavored really differently, and it comes with dumplings - only the name comes from Hungary it is a different dish. And for americans it really does not make a difference if they are in Czechia, Chechnya or Hungary for most of the time.
Vegan goulash is (in Czech republic) as traditional as using smartphone. Roughly the same lenght of tradition, right there. "Trdelník" - the pastry you showed us - is as much as unauthentical, as vegan goulash. The pastry showed up roughly 10-15 years back. Until that NO-ONE did actually make(& eat) it in Czech republic. The statue rubbing is not a local habit. Until western and far eastern tourist did appear, the statues were considered NEVER to be touched by traffic attenders.
You should give more video. I really like it. What do you think about daily vlog ? I want to see more, not only travel vlog. :D Now I think that your videos are better like luis channel hahahah. He can be a jealous.

David M. Exactly ❤️
thanks, sir
But most of parts were replaced once or more times, I am not sure if there is really something 600 years old. :-)

Your shots are getting more beautiful in each vlog. Love your work! Love your light! Thank you for including us.
totally agree with this :)
What a beautiful place! ☺️

I was here last year & loved it!! It’s such a beautiful city!
Ah, I love Prague! One of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to. I love this video, makes me wanna go back there again :)
I loved that huge motion clock!
PRAGUE IS JUST SO DAMN BEAUUUTIFUL!
I love Prague! Brought back so many memories. Such a beautiful place!
I can't describe how amazing I felt by watching this video I just feel positive and great after watching any video by you💙
Great Job!! you're vlogs are getting better and better every time!!! You need to go to Strasbourg France!!!
Nicely done. You probably know by now that a cloudy day is a gift for every photographer. The sun messes up images unless you want shadows.
Hi! I'm from the Czech Republic and I'm so happy you enjoyed visiting Prague. Beautiful shots in the video! x
+Veronika Scherbaumová thank you Veronika! 😄
Ah I can't wait to go to Europe like this! I'm working my butt off at work to save up and travel next year!
May the force be with you!

I LOVE the black off the shoulder top. So cute!
I wanna go back to prague!!
Great video!! Tough choice between next two cities. Vienna!
The link to the hostel takes me to one in Russia...I want to go to this one! Which hostel was it?
Great vlog! thumbs up :)
Finally for the first time I decided to vote too. I am from Budapest and want to bump into you here 😊😊😊
Aw I was just in Prague. Gorgeous city! I wish I had more time there. Hope you had fun. (:
I have no idea how you can stay in a hostel I feel weird sleeping in the same room as group of strangers. I couldn't even sleep after a one night stand because there was someone I hardly know next to.
Hey Raya, cool video for Prague, its such a beautiful city, I was there last year and loved it. If you haven't, you should definitely still check out Krakow. Its a great city!
Yay Raya do a meet up next time it’s so cool to see you in Prague walking through the streets I know so well :D
That hostel is soo cool!! I love the green walls!!
I came back from backpacking just a few weeks ago, and Prague was definitely one of my favorites cities! You went in all of the same spots I went, wish I was there again and could have met you!!
impressive presentation of amazing places
I ate at the first vegan restaurant when I was in Prague a month ago! So delicious! 🤗
Funny about the chimney cakes, apparently they only became a Czech "tradition" around 3 years ago, and they're actually Hungarian! Our walking tour guide shared all the tourist traps with us haha.
So cool to see you visited our country! ❤️ I bet you would enjoy other parts of the Czech Republic, too. Maybe next time ;)
letterBworld Like Brno, Kutná Hora, Karlova Vary, ect
Beautiful video Raya! I'm from the Czech republic. I hope that you enjoyed the stay here. You should visit Brno too.
It's definitely changed everything when the sun is out! I'm sad that the next vlog will be already the last! Have you done one in Finland?
that hostel dinner is such a cool idea :)
You have awesome music in your awesome video.
When do you travel is it at night or through out the day because all vlogs start in morning?
The statue rubbing is usually for good luck, to heal ailments of whatever the saint is responsible for, and often for fertility - which, if I remember correctly, the statue with the shiny D is for XD
Prague, that is the best state from Europe, i bless my place shout out to ppl from check republic
Prague is not a state, but a city.
i know you went to Barcelona some time ago. any recs to visit thats not on the typical must see list?
Where do you get all your clothes from?!
Great video! As you may have guessed, Czechs don't rub statues, tourists do. Trdelnik is not Czech, nor would qualify as good pastry. Venture into any cafe or Cukrarstvi/Pekarna and try stuff there

Interesting seeing this after having rode a motorcycle through Prague in June. I loved the place.
Bernie in sydney
That pastry (Trdelník) is not from Prague or Czech, at all.
You should visit Olomouc :) is in Czech Republic too and its just as beautiful as Prague but smaller and withnout so many tourists - and we also have astronomical clock in Olomouc and it's more beautiful than the one in Prague :D
You are right about Olomouc, my favorite place in Moravia.
You forgot about the Holy Trinity Column.
Adela Halfarova , are u sure u have a way better clock , will u take me around if I come there this summer
3:42 does anyone know the name of the wooden instrument?ive never seen something like this
Cabbage grater or clothes rubbing washboard. I don’t like music that isn’t played on an instrument, but on some bullshit that was found in the trash.
ArtHole Hostel.I loved staying in that hostel. Your video came up to me random, and it just gave me so many flashbacks about my trip in Prague! Awesome vid!
Oh man, I wish I would have known you would be here! I live in Prague and would have showed you so many cool things!!
Well that pastry called "trdelník" is actually from Slovakia, particularly from the area called Záhorie, around Skalica: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trdeln%C3%ADk
how you were on Charles Bridge without taking picture of statue of St. Krill and Methodios if you are Bulgarian
Sooo funny... I stayed in the same room as you guys when I went to Prague last year :) Loves the atmosphere so much there...pretty rare for a Hostel in touristy places :)
Yay! Welcome to my city!
I'm gonna travel to Prague next month by myself
Madel Salazar good for you... Taxis and Exchange offices... be carefull ;)
Standa Holý What's wrong about the taxis?
Madel Salazar well, they are simply idiots. They are trying to steal turists money. Mostly. Use Uber or Taxify app. Very useful could be "Honest guide Prague" channel here on the YT.
Standa Holý thanks for the advice 😊😊😊
Madel Salazar The Taxis will say it is 200 when it is actually 20.0.... they move the decimal.... just be careful and enjoy Prague!
I liked tbe background music and song and of course your vlog too
"people rub weird things in Prague" ... you mean tourists :D
Haha, the "miniature houses" are thr famous Golden Lane :) it's where the alchemists serving the king used to live. Also, trdelník is frikkin delicious, but not a traditional Czech pasty (i love it anyway, but some Czechs don't like it being called traditional :D). Great video btw and I'm glad you liked my hometown!
Prague is such a beautiful city i love it
Nice work! What video editor do you use?
That Astrological clock was phenomenal to see!
all the place in this video; i saw already with the trip with my parents two years ago
I vote you go to both Vienna and Budapest! Both are so beautiful.
Omg im in Prague now as well!! Bit sad i didnt run into you!
hi, what camera/lens u used in the video? ❤️
what place had the vegan goulash? we're going there in June and my girlfriend is vegan, always hard to find stuff.
my city! so beautifully shown by you awwwe :*
You're making my bucket list of places to explore bigger and bigger. I just need to win the lottery. Lol 💕
Your comment about the clock not being worth the show made me giggle... when I was there we waited for it and it was the biggest disappointment of our trip 😂 loved Prague and would love to go back there again
Omg that's my city 😱
Nice video :) but trdelník is not traditional Czech food
I'm planning on going with my mom next weekend
If you're going to make a video about a city, I would recommend actually doing your research so you know what you're talking about
I loved Prague I went two months ago for four days didnt see them mini like shops you have in this Vlog though so that was interesting.
As you say the architecture is amazing but I think Vienna tops it for me the architecture there is superb.
was there last month!

Czechia is correct. Most people actually still call us Czechoslovakia which is infuriating because it's been almost 25 years since the split.
Thats true, its technically correct, even in google maps its Czechia, but I think it didnt have so much success with locals. Atleast I personally dont know anybody, who likes it :)
hey girl you should have done a meet up it appears you have quite a few viewers that live in Prague

lol vegan goulash is so traditional:D

6:58 just play this for a couple of times in a row, idk why I find this funny. It's childish but funny x)
Go to Hungary !!
Please do more backpacking videos!!!
Would love to see a vlog in Zurich Raya :)
Prague is the best city :) It´s heart of Europe :)
You should go to Norway!
Please visit Vilnius, Lithuania 🇱🇹 You will not get disappointed!!!
Peter Smith Riga, Latvia or Tallinn, Estonia is very nice as well.
hi, Raya i been Prague two year with my parent who did their 41 year of marriage.
Vegan goulash is (in Czech republic) as traditional as using smartphone. Roughly the same lenght of tradition, right there. "Trdelník" - the pastry you showed us - is as much as unauthentical, as vegan goulash. The pastry showed up roughly 10-15 years back. Until that NO-ONE did actually make(& eat) it in Czech republic. The statue rubbing is not a local habit. Until western and far eastern tourist did appear, the statues were considered NEVER to be touched by traffic attenders.
Your cinematic shots are stunning!!!! More amazing each day!
I am Czech living in prague. if i had to choose between vienna and budapest i would say budapest but you should also visit vienna anyway lol
I've been in same hostel, it's amazing :D
You should give more video. I really like it. What do you think about daily vlog ? I want to see more, not only travel vlog. :D
Now I think that your videos are better like luis channel hahahah. He can be a jealous.
berry nice video
