I did the Klementinum tour 9 years ago and it was the same, you could only see the library from the entrance (at the time, the shelves were empty as the books were under restoration or cleaning). The book tunnel in the Municipal Library was devoid of tourists except myself.
The best viewpoint in Prague is at the top of the Orloj tower in the Old Town. I was there in 1978, there was also an elevator that took me up. Today is Prague the best in Europa!
The dancing house is stunning modern architecture but its surprising how many people dont know about the Cyril and Methodius church and story it comes with (google it) considering its only around the corner It is definately worth taking a look af
I absolutely loved my first visit to Prague last month! I did visit a few of these spots but I wasn’t aware they were instagram famous😂 both Strahov and the Klementinum libraries were definitely a highlight, as well as the dancing house. Even though you haven’t included it, by far one of my favourite places was up in the Petrin hill, gardens area, with some of the best views of Prague.
Heh, we were the other couple at U Prince with you - thought I recognised you from all my research before moving here from NZ :D Your BF doing a great job with the camera gear!
Your sense of sarcastic humour 😂 make this vlog so charming. Actually you will make a great instagram photo too. The swans just left and and didn't back. And nobody asks why? 😂🤣😂🤣
I think because there wasn't any people for a long time, the swans could no longer have source of food there and so they just left thinking there's still no food OR those nutrias, vermin-looking animals could be predators eating them.
Ahoj Valerie, the paternoster was invented in Sheffield UK. Arriving in prague 2nd July till 31st August hurrah .u kalendu, pod skali and lots of new restaurants to enjoy ,husky vikend ❤
It still puzzles me every time I visit the Library, why would someone spend their time a queue to see that book sculpture… It’s a great sculpture but Prague is such a gorgeous city with so much more to offer.
Great video and agree with you totally, the dancing house is cool but that'it, look at it and move one somewhere nicer instead. As for the u Prince, its cool for one time but same there, once done, no need to go back really...
😂😂😂 I’m not even into the first minute and laughing my head off, there are plenty of places to take great places in Prague😅 you just need to follow your blogs/vlogs 👍. Great video guys you crack me up every time😉
The elevator we have in my office building as well, but not allowed to use it. I have seen the head rotation multiple times when I was walking by from the city to my hostel
If you mention swans in one of your future videos, please mention that you're NOT supposed to feed them bread! You can buy special waterfowl feed in pet shops, or you can feed them some lettuce/unfrozen peas/carrot leaves. Yes, if one person throws them a few crumbs of bread, they should be fine, but if hundreds of people do it, it can hurt them. I see it on Náplavka every Saturday.
Old prag pict book i wondered if the spot still exists or if the place/view changed and if i could find it. Once there. There was another guy also curious about the place same minute workin day march 23. ]
Tip included in the price..... outrageous, how dare they! Tipping is getting a little out of hand in Prague. The swans are now doing permanent "Home Office". 😀 Good on them.
As any trend on instagram, most of these location are tourist traps, or damaged by tourists. Have you seen the lawn before the dancing house? The people climbing on statue just because insta trend?!
I'm traveling to Prague to see a beautiful old city. Things that we do not have in the USA. I'm uninterested in checking off Instagram experiences. LOL
About the drinks: You really live in a different world if you hardly drink any alcohol at all. I was visiting popular tourists spots twice recently and was amazed at how many people were already drinking alcohol in the early afternoon or sometimes already in the morning. Not one glass to start the day, either, but glass after glass. Yes, that seems normal for people, to me, it just seemed weird. What are those people doing in the evening?! Maybe I am the weirdo, but I would order there sparkling water or a simple fruit juice.
The first time I was staying in Prague, I was staying in that dancing house area- thr apartment was really cool, very clean, and yes lots of young people who had sex and made loud pornographic noises- which I found hilarious- and also I had no idea I was so close to the dancing house and explored the city for a few days until 1 day I randomly realized that stupid bending/dancing house (not worth the hype) was so close to where I was staying 😂
Thank you, one of the best yet. Speaking as pro photographer( visitng next week) perhaps they should reflect on why they want the photo and the impact they may have. Looks like distinctly boring, unoriginal photography to me , but i understand they are intresting places, but the photos are not.
Places to go and see in Prague is never ending😲! Especially the beautiful restaurants. Very sad to hear about those elevators though😥. The prices for drinks really aren't that unreasonable however being taken to another location to be served is a headscratcher but not unheard of!!! Every city has those areas of ill repute. Loved this video!!!🙏🌹👌
My guess is a large group of tourists tried to see if they could pack the elevator, having more than one person in every opening at the same time, and simply overloaded it.
Nah, you cannot really break it this way, it is designed for much more load than can fit in. More likely is they activated emergency stop or something and maintenance just said it was broken, as they didnt want to come reset the elevator (and free people stuck between the floors) fifteen times a day.
That may be, but asking for it is not part of czech culture and would be considered rude. But they dont care about losing local customers, 9 million tourists make up for that.
They could give (serve) something for "our" cash. For the animals maybe they are aware of laws just like the ducks cause they are anarchists. Maybe they are waiting in the other place,then the persons that told the people to not feed them will make the same thing again and then they will come back. They say that it's the best place for pictures,it’s looking like this or that there is not much others sites but I don't think so.
To make a perfect pose, the photogrpaher should be giving cues because he/she is the one seeing the frsme. With your pose, you could have move back bit further to have your foot at the curve of the house with toes pointed as if hitting the building. But aside from these, your photo is fine.
Hi Valery, in San Diego, California, a drink, even at the cheapest place is about $15.00! So the prices a U Prince at not that out of this world. And tip is almost always added.
In Europe there is a decent wage even in the hospitality industry, personnel's financial existence does not depend on tips. All tips are just a gesture of thanks for great service, not an obligation.
Valerie you are the best! What's happened to Janek's lawn?!
I loved the Swan hissing! 😂 we need more swan hissing in future videos! You guys have the best videos to watch.
I did the Klementinum tour 9 years ago and it was the same, you could only see the library from the entrance (at the time, the shelves were empty as the books were under restoration or cleaning). The book tunnel in the Municipal Library was devoid of tourists except myself.
Glad your feeling better!! Libraries are my favorite.🙂

Thank you Valerie for your videos. I'm excited to visit Prague. You are always so informative in helping me learn about the City before I get there.
Great stuff RPG's!!! It's good to know that if you must take these pics it might cost you time better spent seeing more.

Another nice video... You are doing great. Best Wishes
Great Great video, very helpful thank you very much!. Muchas gracias!!!!

I love your videos and I used to live there but I learn something new about my old home in every video that I watched. Well done. 👍
1:54 as a swede I thought 220czk sounded cheap for a drink🤣 we pay over 300czk for drinks
Great episode again 😊
If I am not on Instagram, can I still take photos? Just kidding! Thanks for the video.

Fantastic tour
Thank you for this video! Took notes from this 😊
I love Prague....
It still puzzles me every time I visit the Library, why would someone spend their time a queue to see that book sculpture…
It’s a great sculpture but Prague is such a gorgeous city with so much more to offer.
I feel the same, given many Instagrammers don't normally visit libraries anyway
There's also one in the lucerna passage.
Great video and agree with you totally, the dancing house is cool but that'it, look at it and move one somewhere nicer instead. As for the u Prince, its cool for one time but same there, once done, no need to go back really...
Good tips, thank you

The second same elevator is in Prague YMCA pallace :)
3:10 Would you please explain tip rules in Czech? is it mandatory or expected? and how much for minimum?
Thanks for real
Love you valery

I am coming on my first ever visit to Prague in a few weeks.... This video has been helpful in where to avoid 😂
Hi guys, love ya. I hate stag parties too! ( Only as a resident. As a piano player they bring £) Have you ever taken a stag party on a tour? :)
The paternoster lift is, of course, British ;)

Many European Cities have Paternoster Elevators, that are still in Service
how were you able to book the tour to klementinum? I have been trying but i cant find how to book it! any help would be greatly appreciated!
Wyszegrad is super
❤
OMG--- dancing house "I used to live on that street over there" ---- That's where the CAT CAFE is!
also there's a monument to the Emperor Franz I right near there!
Thank you, one of the best yet. Speaking as pro photographer( visitng next week) perhaps they should reflect on why they want the photo and the impact they may have. Looks like distinctly boring, unoriginal photography to me , but i understand they are intresting places, but the photos are not.

Ready to see you city! 15% tip is very low compared with US.
That may be, but asking for it is not part of czech culture and would be considered rude. But they dont care about losing local customers, 9 million tourists make up for that.
No more swangs 😭😭😭🦢🦢🦢
you are adorable.
Most of the restaurants I've been to are asking for 5% 10% 15% tips
They could give (serve) something for "our" cash.
For the animals maybe they are aware of laws just like the ducks cause they are anarchists.
Maybe they are waiting in the other place,then the persons that told the people to not feed them will make the same thing again and then they will come back.

Hmmm, I like nutrias more than swans

It's interesting to see how a Russian girl makes a tour guide in Prague. "A real Prague guide"
Are you Russia? You sure sound Russia.
What? You speak English? Your spelling is also very bad.
Oh, you don’t like the location of the dancing house because you have to see poor people? So sorry for you!
Prague is way to overrated. Budapest, Vienna has much more to offer.
What for example?
I loved it beautiful city but faced discrimination with security at the airport wonder how respectful they are to other cultures and races etc
Im in Prauge and Im dissapointed
