Well, I agree with pretty much all these changes. I am a tourist but I visit about 3-5 times a year, I try to study Czech, and I intend to move there some day if I can, which will be a huge upgrade from Sofia. Sometimes I kinda feel like a local, as I am really annoyed by all the mindless tourists there, especially the ones disrespecting the city and its history, treating it like a party place. Praha is so much more than that!

My parents went to Prague a few decades back. There might be a misunderstanding about the "Eastern Europe Elevator of Death" as there are some who see Czechia as Eastern Europe due to it being east of the Iron Curtain back in the day. That said, I also wonder if the Tiktok ban that's being readied in the US will mean fewer people go to the Infinity Books. Still, hope you have a lovely time in Prague.

I was in Prague last week with my partner. The city is lovely-melancholic yet colorful. However, the climate was harsh: we got wind, snow, rain, and even hail. Yes, we were caught in a hailstorm in the middle of Charles Bridge. I mean, it was romantic in the historical sense of the term. I loved it. But my partner got sick (possibly due to the constant shifts from the cold, windy weather outside to the intense heat of indoor spaces) and thus, the trip was ruined. We hope to return in the future and be luckier.

We were there between Christmas and New Year 24 and it was packed but not overwhelmed. Lovely atmosphere with the market still in full swing. Brilliant tour with Nico. Concerts in every church were very festive (around €20). Good food everywhere. Wenceslas Square is being completely dug up at the moment. Do you know what the timetable is for completion? It looks like a long renovation.

Well thanks Valery that was great info! Good to know about the towers as I have a new camera. Up early! Got it. I was in Prague Fall of '23, and will be back the first of April, '25. Just my luck that I finally get to go (I'm pushin' 70) and everyone else wants to go there too. But I am special, because "moji prarodiče byli Moravian". Anyway, at least I think I'm special, and that's what counts. I have to change my tour date. See y'all in a couple of months.

Loving your content! You’re hilarious 😂 Could you do a series on the video game, kingdom come deliverance? It’s a historically accurate medieval game series and the second is coming out next month. Would be so cool to see someone visit the popular locations in the game and tour them. The sequel has a huge marketing push, I could see this being a popular video series for you guys as millions of copies will sell and like I’m already doing, players will be interested in learning more about the games locations, which are largely based in modern day Czechia.

We've visited Prague the past two Junes. My wife's son lives and works there. First time, we visited the National museum and some of the Old Town and New Town sights. Last year, we went to watch baseball- Prague Eagles and Kotlarka. Her son also took us to many local restaurants and businesses . Had great food and drinks at reasonable prices. Using public transportation was also quite easy.

Wonderful vid as always guys. What has Ivan Hlas said about Karlin? Apropos of this, you may have missed the closing of the popular Vinohrady Cigar and cocktail bar, Bar and Books. Frequented by Vinohrady locals and some tourists who got lost and my residency for 7 years, the owner of the building apparently intends to turn it into an underground parking garage. Sounds like a Joni Mitchell song. Catch you on Hybernska!

Thanks for all recommendations and the walking tours. Your tours are absolutely the best one we experienced in our trip to Prague in December 2024 . The guide was amazing very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the passion to showcase the beauty of the Czech history and culture, it wasn’t like other tours which felt more scripted. Great work and we will visit Prague again soon.

Oh I'll be there alright. On your WWII tour. Been planning this trip for 3 months already! "What do I most want to do...?" I have this idea I will rent a bike and take it on the metro to the park up by the airport, Divoká šárka. Also ride the metros with the bike and hope off in random places and explore via bike. Sound crazy? I will find out. I will be on the lookout for out-of-the-way cafés. If there are any. Vinohrady. I want to hang out there, and Holešovice. Lidice. Terezin. Cerny's stuff. THE church. A cat café. Valery has torties! OMG! Sorry. Oh, "most" want to see? Difficult to say.

It's like 15 mins walk uphill. You can also take a tram to Pohořelec and walk from there. The hill is not as steep from there.

I'm currently enjoying a week long stay in Prague (from Australia) and I highly recommend coming in the winter! Yes it is cold, but if you wear appropriate clothing it's really not a problem. Everything is so quiet around the city right now. I had the castle gardens practically to myself at 9am on a Thursday this week.
