I visited Prague this past summer and really enjoyed it. The people, the food, the architecture-all of it was spectacular. It is my favorite European city. Thanks for the video. Wish I had watched before hand. Safe travels.
The astronomical clock is not only about the puppets. The thing is that it shows so much information most people are not aware of. Not only time, but also date, season, Saints name day, position of Sun and Moon in the sky, Zodiac etc. I think Honest Guide did a cool video about the details. Its all mechanical, since 600 years ago. If you dont know, i understand you are disappointed.
Thanks for sharing! Yes, definitely an incredible achievement and a unique thing to see. Honest Guide always produces awesome content. Thanks for watching!
I agree a hundred percent! Plus it is about one of the oldest, if not the 1st ever clock invented functioning with this mechanism! Nomatter how many days you visit, 3 or 30, making a small search of facts, make all the difference in understanding and appreciating its value more .😉😉 EUROPE is all about ARCHIRECTURAL, cultural, HISTORICAL GEMS, hard to be missed .really! ( hence all those millions that visit from other continents ). But yet again, i am just a european citizen, what do i know about it? 😉😉😉
Hi which side do you recommend staying buda or pest. Im aware buda seems quieter i just dont fancy hour long walkes to places. Any idea re recommendations for air bnb places. Love your videos and I guess will be looking out re the so called 6 dollar roll😂 Any help appreciated 👍
I'd recommend the Pest side. Buda is beautiful but you'll definitely have those loonnngg walks from there haha. It's hard to go wrong on the Pest side cause most things will be within a 15 - 20 minute walk. I know this probably doesn't seem as helpful but I'd stay probably try to focus on the most affordable option on the Pest side and save the rest of my money for fun around the city :) The Jewish Quarter has a really neat culture and will skew a bit younger. Anything in district 5 will give you more central access but will be a bit pricier. Hope all that helps!
Architecturally, it's in the top three cities that I've ever visited. Really, the only negatives are the crowds (best to go in the off season) and the pickpockets. You definitely want to keep your wallet in your front pocket.
I fell in love with that city. i am Slovak so for me it takes 4hours of train or a car driving to get there. But it is worth. Little bit expensive but nevermind. Really bueatiful city. Mixture of modern pro-western politically mindset (multicultural cosmopolitan) combined with medieval architecture.
This love hate thing is spot on. Definitely had a love hate relationship with the tourist numbers there. Subscribed, maybe you would like our stuff too.
Nah but for real, i'm going to prague in like 16 days and the more i google the more i realize lisbon and prague are not that far away when it comes to prices in some stuff like okay "cheapest capital in europe"
@@camdendavid that not all regions are seved like the others. usual quiet on the street after 10. not in zizkov.and yes tourists on the charles bridge, rhats why i use the next one

Sorry to hear that. I'd recommend exploring outside of the city center. We stayed up in Praha 6 and it had a completely different feel. Hope you're able to make the most of the rest of your trip :)
It is not a Hungarian dish, it is a Central European dish that was prepared in various recipes in the Kingdom of Hungary, which was home to many nations. The sweet recipe appeared for the first time in Skalica (Slovakia)A recipe from the cookbook written by Kristóf Simai in 1795 in Upper Hungary (present-day Slovakia) first mentioned "sweetening subsequent to baking
Does not chang the fact that there is nothing traditional about them in the Czech part of the former Austro-Hungarian empire. No one knew what it was like 10-15 years ago.
@@KarlosTheMighty And Moravia is part of what? Skalica is a "Záhorie" region which is almost identical to the Moravian region (especially Slovácko). Yes, if you do not consider Moravia to be part of the Czech Republic, then it is not your dish.
@@BELBOG666 that is extremely regional thing. Most of Moravia did not know what it is before it appeared at every Christmas market. Plus these disputes where it came from are also funny. Most sources claim it is originally Romanian anyways. Moravian or not it is nowhere near to traditional in the center of Bohemia. No one makes it at home in like 95% of the country and the same amount of people did not know it existed 10-15 years ago. Having it at every corner claiming it is traditional while basically no one in Prague eat it is a tourist trap. Nothing more, nothing less.
I'm leaving Prague tomorrow for home this was my experience Dislikes *Having to pay to have a pee EVERYWHERE you go *Homeless people always begging for money not trying to be insensitive but it's hard to tell these days who's a drug addict and who's not *Drivers having the habit of trying to run you over almost when it's a green man *And most annoyingly of all having to cross the road every two minutes bloody hell 😆😆 it's a headache *My likes about Prague most people have been friendly and helpful whenever I have needed directions, one man even came up to me and helped me out when I was struggling I didn't even have to ask *Lots of drivers give way to pedestrians which is great *Food is cheap which is convenient *City is gorgeous I feel like I'm in a Disney princess movie at times 😆😆 *It's fairly easy to get around using the public transport system even for those who don't have much experience doing that abroad *People mind their own business and leave you alone *Saw some otters or something in the river which was cool
Amazing city.. lots to see! Tourists didnt bother me as I was one myself. Go and see the churches.. absolutely beautiful architecture! Two things that bugged me on this trip. Czech's are rude.. they genuinely go out of their way to be rude, i've been all over the world.. and by far Czechs are the rudest. When you walk around there is a distinct waft of urine that hangs in the air.. alot of men seem to use the streets as a latrine.. thought this was a modern city.. not the slums of india. Toilets are in short supply but you can easily find one. Perhaps they're incontinent?
Such a beautiful city! Sorry you experienced some not so friendly folks but don't let it deter you! There are so many wonderful people as well and hoping you get to see that side of things during your next visit. Hoping nobody in this comment section is contributing to the waftiness (if that's a word) haha
Nah ... it is still super cheap compared to any big tourist hit in western europe or the US. You will spend much much more in London for instance. Plus the Old town square ham is a famous tourist trap. Definitely not a good example of Prague prices in honest restaurants.
If U want some really Czech food go for (local) beer (Pilsner, Gambrinus, Kozel, Radegast, Budvar etc.) and any kind of pork (knucle, ribs, prague ham), roasted duck (with cabbage and dumplings) or svíčková (slice of roasted beef with vegetable sauce and dumplings).
@@camdendavid True. On the other hand we must point out that neighbouring countries naturally have culinary overlap (look at the Mediterranean or Middle East) but if two makes the same the result is not always same - compare czech goulash (originaly hungarian food) with hungarian one and compare czech potato pancakes with german ones - in both cases U get different meals. ;)
@@toruvalejo6152 yes, you're absolutely right! I really recommend people try dishes from multiple places to experience the differences. Thanks for watching!
Hmm, such a tough one to answer because it depends how much you want to see and at what pace. I think 2 days would be enough to see the most popular places and give you a feel for the city. If you have the time/money I'd recommend 4-5 days so you can really take your time and experience the culture. Hope you have a great trip!
@@camdendavid thanks so much for the help. Ending up booking my trip and will stay for 3 full days . I'm an early riser so I'll make it work ! Take care
You should absolutely visit Prague (just be on the lookout for those few tourist traps)!

It really is an incredible city
i’m studying abroad for four months in prague! this video is making me very excited for it!
Hope you have a blast! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks bro! You saved me from visiting the clock! I'll be sure to read the fine print, too. Lol.
Haha glad I could help
Your videos are super helpful! Thank you
So glad to hear that! Thanks for watching :)
This is so true! I just came back from Prague and agree with all you say.
Glad to hear it! Hope you had a great trip :)
As a native Czech i think that every single thing that was said i the video is true.
Great to hear that - thanks for the support!
City was best without tourist during covid.
I can't argue with that haha

You sure can!

Moje krásná Praha 🇨🇿♥️♥️🇨🇿
the clock is re done, and as for prices, you get high prices in the old town square or wenceslas. walk away it gets cheaper
Agreed! There are some great food options if you're willing to venture outside the square. Thanks for watching!
