This was really helpful and easy to understand. It was very useful for my humanities work. Thanks. And I hope I would get a good grade on my booklet about the Charles bridge.
Wow, Great video! 👏👍😍
And of course the Charles Bridge has the world famous Honest Lamp which if you rub it is said to bring you good luck.
Good video, well done. Was there last year. Easily the Most beautiful city. I believe all the statues on the bridge are now replicas as the real ones were sent to be displayed in a museum to protect them from the elements and tourists
We were there in 2015 as part of a river cruise. Our guide pretty much rushed over it. Thanks for this dream video.
The statue that fascinated me the most along the Charles bridge was the one of St. Augustine. Having come from an Agustinian educational system, seeing his statue made me very proud.
Thank you for reviewing this information and I will never know!🤔
Watched every video. Good luck! Will definitely hire them when/if I get to Prague!
Brilliant ❤
Thank you.❤
Hi there, loved this video, thank you. Really interesting! Also, I’d love to know what brand of winter jacket you are wearing as it looks so cosy and comfortable! Have a good day! Prague is one of my most favourite places to visit. Hoping to visit for my 4th time next year!
Cheers,
Marg
Hello, my winter jacket's brand is Wellensteyn. I love it is super cozy but heavy 🤭
But the one on the video i got it at Decathlon not as warm
@@nicocortes7319 thanks Nico. Oh okay. I love to travel to colder places so I’m always on the lookout for warm but lightweight and non bulky jackets etc. thanks though. My current favourite is one from Wantdo!
where is that place in 0:47 ? :) is that a museum in Prague?
In 1357 on Juli 9 at 5-31 minutes they could not start building the bridge because minutes were introduced only in 1680.
Correct, that's what we said in the video :)
@@RealPragueGuides So I didn`t watch it I`m sorry
Your facial expression is so attractive ^^
😊
There is Japanese anime depicting the spirit of the Charles bridge!!
Which one?
@@RealPragueGuides I remember there was little old lady who was Crêpe maker on the bridge in the anime that turn into the spirit of the bridge!! I forgot the name of the anime, very Miyazaki style!!
👋👋👋👍🕉️
Where’s Valerie?
So they boiled their eggs to keep them from breaking and they laughed. I bet not one single egg from them broke😊
🤭🤭
But you miss point that vilidge name Velvary also add to absurdity of this boil eags bussines :-)
Hey not trying to correct you but my family actually built that bridge and the person who actually payed for the rebuild was named Charles and that's where the name came from.
Serious face 😅
Ahoj ve škole na základní škole se dočtes že to o vajíčkach není pravda. 😒
Ahoj, taky se tam dočteš význam slova “legenda”.
@@RealPragueGuides Taky bych bral v potaz, že most byl v 19 století opravován když se částečně zřítil, a taky fakt že přidávaní vajec do malty se ve skutečnosti provozovalo ve středověku
