There are 28 crosses, because a group added the 28th cross last year (I believe) to honor the condemned man who committed suicide the night before the execution
2 weeks before - not nigth before...
Martin Fruwein died on 7 of july and the execution happened on 21 of july....
And it is still unkown if it was suicide or kill...
Why honor a man who was sentenced to death?
@@aaroncousins4750 He was one of the leaders of uprising of Czech protestants ... and despite the fact that on the Catolic side there were also Czechs ... the Czech nationalist in 19 centuary took it as Czech uprising (they kick the faith out of the concept) and consider them as Czech heroes (even tho they failed)
Also the trial was quiet one sided (from the point of view of the protestants)
@@aaroncousins4750 I guess it depends on who’s side you’re on, when it comes to honoring or condemning
@@Smortn oh right
Just came back from Prague yesterday, what a city man. Absolutely loved it. Honestly felt really sad when I had to go home again. We just walked around the entire day, taking random turns just to see where it would lead us. From the WWII memorial up to the Vitkov monument. Luckily didn't ran into any scammers or anything. Can't wait to visit it again.
The best city in the whole world! I was there last year, and I'm coming back this year again!! Impossible to get tired of Prague
Lovely tour and so much fun. Thanks, Janek and Honza!
You sure are a pleasure to watch. I lived in Prague 15 years and miss it sometimes so much. Thank you both
Wow… ì‘ve been to Prag o times (simply fell I love with this city at the age of 17) and you guys always have some new things to show! I stood under the horse, Never went for the Paternoster, been at muster like 300times, never saw the bridge… thank you!
Visited prague in 2018...one of my favorite cities in Europe. I view many of your vids in order to rekindle my affection for the city. As you correctly poimt out, there is much to see and do in Prague. And it never gets old...a truely great city and your vids illustrate that well.
Hello from California! Can't wait to visit again!
@Daniel de Ridder Friendly comment on a Channel about Tourism... You seem fun.
@Daniel de Ridder Daniel is very stoooppid
Say no to Americans in Europe
As I recently moved to Prague, I would warmly and strongly recommend to visit Vinohrady: a charming, elegant and liveable quarter just outside of tourist paths.
Nice video again, Janek and Honza. Thank you for doing this and keep up the good work.
I used to binge watch these videos when I had planned my first solo trip to Prague before the pandemic hit 🥲🥲 it's been 2.5 years and I still have the envelope with all the money I saved for this trip sitting in a bedroom drawer. Still hoping I'll finally get to visit soon!! 🧡
You aren't alone. We've been there 3 times before and Honza and Janek have educated us tremendously, so we'll enjoy it even more the next time.
What are you waiting for? Czech Republic has removed all covid restrictions!
@@TelephoneToughGuy Currently stuck living in East Asia for a few more months, but I'll make it there someday!!
@@ericasayshello2507 : That explains it🙂 All the best
Because of them im in Prague right now and loving it🙂
We are visiting in September and I find your videos very helpful so another random walk would be really appreciated. Many thanks and enjoy your week.
Janek and Honza, you provide us with needed intelligent, peaceful, funny, cool, helpful knowledge of beautiful places we will see soon. This is so generous and friendly of you. The benevolent ripples you generate go far and wide. Some people want to do this; you guys are doing it. Thanks.
I’m here in Prague, and I am in love with this city, I have been following all your recommendations of restaurants and you are not wrong, thank you so much for the great information
As always amazing video, thanks for great tour
There are statues of St John of Nepomuk EVERYWHERE in Czechia, not just Prague. That's because the Catholic church promoted him heavily during the 17th&18th centuries, as one of the methods of re-catholisation and as a Catholic counterpart to Jan Hus (they lived more or less at the same time). So for quite a time he was the most popular saint in Czechia.
So you can make a game of it everywhere in Czechia. There's even an online map where people are adding all the spots where the statues are. :D
There's also a statue of him in Sibiu, Romania. It used to be in the Large Square but it was moved to a church's yard.
@@ioangreavu There are statues of him in lots of places; what makes it special in Czechia is that he was Czech and the above history, and when I say they're everywhere here, I really am exaggerating only a tiny bit.

Thank you so much! Great information fresh to have as I plan my visit this weekend.
Prague occupies a large space in my heart as my first non-North American city and it's always a joy to return and discover new things and meet wonderful people. Your presentations are fantastic and so charming.
your videos are amazing! I adore your enthusiasm
Visiting in about 3 weeks for a couple of nights. Looking forward to it. Great informative vlogs guys
Keep up the great work you do informing people.god bless 🙏👍
I just got back from Prague yesterday and the weather was very warm. So that means this video was not shot this past week? Great city and country. Thanks for all the insights into Prague, I can’t wait to go back.
Yes please! More guides! Also an elaborate video on Zlín would be great ! Haven't really come across anything informative about that place!🙏🏻😇😊
Fantastic as always, can't wait to visit
Stunning historical city! Here's added to my future travel destinations!
Fun video. Having been to Prague 6 times, the first time was in 1991 and the last time was in 2018. For me, this video is also good for someone who has 4 days in Prague, not just 4 hours. Once a person gets the major highlights of the city, they can then incorporate these little gems you shared. Everytime I visit Prague I discover something new and wonderful. My next goal for Prague is to visit it during the winter when there is snow. I have lived just 6 hours away from Prague for the last 9 1/2 years, so this is an attainable goal for me. I am hoping perhaps this winter will be the one. It will be a dream come true for me!
I will be there in 2 weeks!!!!!! Can't wait thanks for your videos
Great tips Janek! Made our three days in Prague brilliant. Keep up the good work catching the scammers!
Just found your channel and I love every minute of your videos.
We spent a few days in Prague with my brother and returned to Budapest today. Beautiful city with a lot of sights. We had time to check Lucerna pasáž before our train departed, and although the rooftop was closed, the pasáž itself was great. Also visited Můstek metro station for the historical bridge.
Thank you for your great work with all the guide videos, Janek. :-)
Janek, answer this: Which city is prettier, Prague or Budapest?
Your videos are so awesome. I will go to Prague in February
I was just watching your other videos when you just posted a new one ☝️ 😊
Thank you
Happy to read you keep on watchin’ 💛
Great video as usual! Prag is unbeatabe:)
I'm arriving Thursday for 3 days, on my own also so finding your videos very helpful, thank you
OMG. I just saw you outside my work in Male Náměstí. I am a big fan of your channel. Cheers! 👋
Tanks for those value recomendations to visit Prag
Yes please.. Would love another video like this
Thank you for a great video. Amazing Prague. So beautiful
i love these videos!
You went right by the Honest Lamp and didn’t even mention it!
Think of Janek’s face when dealing with Trdelnik, that’s how disappointed I am. What a shame 😂
your country is simply amazing, I had the pleasure to visit in may and that was a great experience
Would love to see more walks through other areas (say Praha 5) . Enjoying it all.
Another one of these please!
Now I wanna visit Prague
I have watched many of your videos and I will be honest and say that now I want to come back to Prague having only been there for 3 days before and now I want to come back and visit some of the places that you have pointed out. I had no guide before and your information gave me encouragement that I can do it on my own. Thank you so much for the great videos and the places to visit and eat and scams to avoid
Very good video! We were in Prague this weekend ( o GIGA event ) and now waitting for the flight. We were on all your mentioned places except this intresting lift. I hope to visit it next time. Thanks for video!
IN, not on.
I been to Prague 2 weeks ago. Out of the European Cities I visited, Prague was the place I feel the culture and the people in Czech Republic. 🇨🇿
It has been a real plasure to meet you on Charles bridge friday morning . Should you decide to make an honest guide of Rome, after the one in Florence, as I said I owe you guys a beer.... looking forward for your next video.....
Yes, more like this. Visited Prague in first week of May and yes ran into Janek and Honza on Old Town Square while they were working. They were so kind to take a selfie with us! (Two travelers from Nebraska who enjoyed their guidebook and vids).
I am from Nebraska too!
@@dougdavis8986 Did you meet up with Janek when he was in Prague, NE in January? We had not watched his media so didn't know he was coming :(
@@holznewman6821 no
I pretty much did this earlier in the summer this year in 2023. Arrived from Vienna in the evening. Spent the night there and spent the next morning walking across the city before getting a train to Berlin that afternoon.
I had been to Prague three times before and I remembered how to get around to have a quick look before my train.
This video was an eye opener on the stuff I missed 👍
Because of your channel I so want to visit Prague.
Spent 2 days in PRAGUE,returned yesterday,fantastic mystic city😲
Ahoj. Maybe you can make videos about each district. Like most intersecting spots in Prague 3 or Prague 8 & 9 etc 😉
they know nothing about Prague 3 and I would be surprise if they even know where Prague 8 and 9 are:o)
Hello from Saturn, because of you AND your videos now I want to visit Prague :p 🌟
7:25 Je tam 28 křížů. Přímo na Staromáku jich popravili jen 27, protože ten 28. ještě před popravou spáchal sebevraždu. Jeho tělo bylo tedy i přes to dovlečeno na náměstí a následně rozčtvrceno. :) Díky hoši, že jsme vás tam u křížů mohli se školou potkat! :D
Thank you! Translated to English, David 96 says:
There are 28 crosses. Only 27 of them were executed directly at Staromák, because the 28th committed suicide before his execution. Despite this, his body was dragged to the square and subsequently quartered. :) Thanks guys that we were able to meet you there at the crosses with the school! :D
Amazing place Prague...❤️
Nice! On our bucket list! We follow local vloggers Honest Guide (Janek & Honza) they’ve opened our eyes to Prague.
I'm coming to Prague in a few weeks! I've been binge-watching your videos. Thanks a lot! Will you be out and about filming anything soon? It would be awesome to run into you.
Can’t wait to go to this beautiful city in May 😊
Your going to love it!!! Prague is my favorite city its amazing. Everything, the people the food, the architecture. Just everything.
The elevator you take to the rooftop we also have them in Denmark in the Danish Parliament 😁
😍 Big Thanks
I was there for 8 days and feel I have only seen very little of Prague. I need you to be my guide next time
Best video 😊
thanks so much❤
Cool 😎 everything in prague
and thats how one new word turned into 2 new words :D great job presenting your city, keep up
Amazing
Hello big fan from Nepal man I will visit prague one day
Thank you
A place we found that we liked was by Hotel U Raka. We were just wandering around and found an art class working. A fun discovery and a place we’ve thought about staying next time in Prague.
💚❤️🇵🇹👍🏻Prague is amazing! Greetings from Lisbon!
I am there right now, arrived in the evening, tomorrow will be a guided tour, lets see if we'll visit one of them :D
That bike sign is hilarious.
It reminds me of France.
Yay, gotta love the paternosters!
Do you guys do personal walking tours or will you be filming again in the next two days? I am back visiting Prague after 22 years and this time with my wife and 4yo son.
We watch all of your videos and would love to buy you both a beer. Cheers!
Hi Janek & Hunza ,
Enjoy watching your videos & wonderful content.
Could you do a review of Sky Bridge 721 ?. Bridge crossing the majestic valley of the Mlýnský Stream - It’s said to be longest in the world . Something worth reviewing for current viewers & future Tourists like me visiting Czechia.
Nice video. :)
Just wanted to throw out a huge thank you for your scam guides in Prague. I have a friend who visited last week and after watching your channel he avoided getting scammed I shif you not 32 times in a span of 7 days. Thanks for your work man
Honest Guide : Never fails to deliver
Another Judith's bridge remainders are actualy both of it's towers - one is the lower one of the two towers on Malá Strana. The other one is not very recognizeable as it got incorporated into a building - it's the part sticking out behind Janek's head at 8:49
Plus there is one arch visible under the very square, where the river boats anchor in the water tunnel.
thanks for the tips. Pozdrowienia z Polski :)
Would like very much to see a walk in Prague, that shows places associated with Bohumil Hrabal!
you should try and buy or rent an empty spot for a restaurant or open a spot for tourist to stop to get info etc
One of my friends is in Prague right now for a concert.
YES I am Visiting Your Lovely City
Brilliant 🎉
I am going to visit Prague next week. Could you give me any recommendations for a day-trip to Cesky Krumlov? since I could not find any information about direct train between Prague and Cesky Krumlov.
Can you do a video series about different length layovers at the prague airport? Like what you can do with a three hour layover. or a two hour one.
If I binge-watch this channel I don't have to travel to Prague anymore :)
The Lamson tube system was built in the town where I live in U.K. Gosport Hampshire.
thank you of rybycka fact i think that is just a soviet knife called рыбка.as usual, my many returns for your work folks. I'm an ex-pat so your Channel is brilliant for me. keep going❤
will put like under any new video that you create
The Astronomical Clock and The Old Town Square were beautiful. I remember it being distinctly cool in September 2009. I remember also going to the Museum of Communism. I had no clue that the building we passed by was the Municipal House. Also passed by the Opera House, the one near a bridge. We also went down the river, under Charles Bridge, on a ferry boat, and enjoyed a lot of wine as afternoon became night. Prague is such a beautiful city. I wish we had had more time to explore, especially the Jewish Quarter. I was nineteen, a student when our team won a prize to visit select cities in Europe, and Praha was the first city we landed in. I hope I can visit again in future.
Any advise on short term rental in Prague ?
My dictionary gives Fourier as a French surname, and as an office in the Swiss and Austrian armies.
Can you do a video about the best/safest place to park in Prague?
Looking book a holiday there for November but your guide is out of stock. Will it be back in stock sometime soon?
Is that Skautsky Institute on Kampa the same cafe/bar that used to be on Old Town square just near the Astronomical Clock?
11:33 Could you please Make a Video where you tell, Why that huge church has such a tiny tower.
my plan is visiting few cities in Czechia and Slovakia in a week time. Prague, Olomouc, Kosice, Bratislava (also travelling with sleeper trains). Are two days in prague enough to have a good look of the city?
Do a Branicka walk through ☺
Hey Janek! Love this video since we were just there ... and ran into you!
We have some Czech Crowns left from our trip we'd like to send to you. Let us know how to do that. Thanks!
How much?
@@saljablo2767 A 1,000 crown bill. So, not life changing, but the selfie he took with us was worth it!
I think the 28th white cross was painted by David Cerny or a similar artist. It was painted around May 2021. Supposedly the city got it wrong and there should have been 28 to begin with, there was a mini protest on the white crosses in 2016 but I can't find it at the moment in English
I'm a tour guide and I spoke about 27 white crosses for a long time, came back to in person tours in May 2021 and noticed the 28th. Double checked that it had always been 27 and reassured myself hadn't gone mad
Not far from the Gunpowder tower is Tynsky chram where Tycho Brahe is buried and whole arch of Judith's bridge can be seen.
