You dont need cash in Prague. Cards work fine. Most places accept cards.

hahaha. This video looks like an unREAL Prague guides! 😛

One thing you did not mention there are let's say shady characters trying to sell you some illegal substances. Obviously better not to make any deals with them. Seems silly to me that if a stranger approaches you on the street you should never ever do any kind of business with them is still not understood by all. One other one that was not mentioned there are people with animals (this has been less lately) that want to take pictures with you and then ask for money after. Overall if you keep your wits about you Prague is extremely safe.

I enjoyed your video. I just got back from a trip to Prague from the US 2 weeks ago and videos like these are so helpful to have an idea of what to look out for. I was really surprised by the amount of exchange places across the city, as we were in the city for 5 days and did not have to pay cash one time. Every restaurant, bar, or shop we visited accepted cards. In my opinion, the focus on scams from other youtubers is just a way to generate clicks. Prague seemed safe and less scammy than many other places I've visited.

is this Honest Guide video? :D

Personally i used albert,tesco and lidl to get grosseries while i was in prague. Also I would recommend getting the app for publuc transport.

Something you missed is that you should ALWAYS check the use-by date on stuff you buy, specifically from small “potraviny” shops. It’s happened to me many times that I bought, for example, a sandwich, and before I ate it I saw that it was out of date. My local potraviny does this a LOT but it even happens in chain stores (it happened to me at Relay on Masarykovo Nadrazi).

I went to beautiful Prague a dozen times in various seasons, and as I watch you clips frequently, I will go there many more times. Great screen charisma you have :) Excellent work of the whole team.

Hi Valery, thanks for the tips. We'll be joining you on one of your walking tours in a couple of weeks, hoping to pick up some restaurant recommendations too 😊😊

You don't need to shit on Honest Guide and Janek when you make videos. It's really not a good look. Besides, he went deeper into the taxi scam almost 10 years ago, which was an excellent piece of journalism.

I use cash only❤

I think it’s time to scrap Prague from the tourist map. Let’s see how well you get on without tourist money. Perhaps refugees can make up the difference.

Many US debit cards give you the actual exchange rate for the day (2529 in your example) with no additional fee so if you have one of those cards it is in your best interest to let your US bank do the conversion, not the foreign bank.

Taxis in Prague are still a bit scammy, but nothing like when I first visited in 1998 when they would literally drive you to a side street and then point a pistol at you. Also, AAA are the scammiest cabs here, if you don't use their app they'll use the 'turbo meter'. Of course, you won't see any cabs standing around on the street at the time of morning you filmed this. Judging by the lack of tourists it was before 8am.

I have been to Prague several times over the years and only had a problem one time the first time i went i was not sure where my hotel was so I took a taxi and got over charged but it was 15 years ago. we just visited this year again and had no problems and a fantastic visit

My first visit to Prague was on 1996 and we were warned about fraudulous taxis before.

😊 I’ve been twice and hope to go back, ‘love Prague’ never had a problem and found it easy to get around and had no problems with scams or scammers but I do watch all your amazing, funny and informative videos 👍😉

Another awesome vlog Valery, always good to be well informed about these things when traveling. Again you make my day with your smile and your funny self. Have a fantastic day and see ya next time.

I would like to comment on the ticket stamp thingy ! while it is the responsibilty of any person to understand how the system work, but it is easy to make that error if you are just a tourist who stay for 1 or 2 day so don't usually do a lot of research, on the other hand it is also easy for a person to cheat the metro company! as an alternate, why not have the system like your neighbor such as Portugal? a smart cart that you scan as you get in station or bus! if it is 24hr card, it start activation auto first time you scan on that day! is end of 2024! not 2014! computer automation could be useful! just saying!!

Personally I think the Gov not allowing the use of slightly older money but have to exchange it in certain bank is a scam in itself! The way to do it is allow old money to be widely circular, when a business/person deposit the older money, the bank will remove those "old" money from circulation in exchange for newer version! it might take a bit longer! but I don't really see a down side to it!

Love your videos Valery, you are very informative and funny ! We had the best time in Prague, also Cesky Krumlov. If we come again in the future, we sure will visit Kutna Hora.

I'm travelling to Prague in two weeks. Your videos have been so interesting, informative and fun to watch. Thank you.

I've made a practice of researching scams before trips. It's interesting how frequently I've encountered them. Paris,Istanbul and twice in Rome (one we decided to just allow, as it was 10 euro and I enjoyed the conversation). Thanks for the information!

Very much looking forward to our first trip to Prague next week, we’ve booked the Prague castle tour and old town/jewish quarter with you guys too

I'd really be interested in the marijuana thing... please =)

SERIOUSLY, Before you go to Prague, change to CZK in your own country, instead of trying to decide what ATM or bank gives you the best rate. I always bring the expected amount in local cash, and only use card if I want to splurge. How hard can it be?

so what's up with that marijuana thing?

Great Video but what has Janek done to annoy you?

Great stuff RPG's!!! I am glad to hear that scams are on the decline in Prague. I still also think that this is a topic that should be revisited periodically. Honestly, the scariest thing about visiting Prague is the ticket checkers. BUT!!! That is not scary enough to make me not go. Thank's RPG's.

As a former employee of a an exchange office in the city-centre of Prague I can tell you some tourists are so easy to fool. Many times a person changing money at my place didn't even know the name of our local currency. I could easily gave them Hungarian Forints for for value of Czech Crowns and they wouldn't even notice. I remember one particular customer who wanted to change is USD to "Czech Tolars." Than one lady said to me she want to change USD to CZK and than she dropped bunch of coins of different currencies (mostly USD, CZK and EUR). So I had to first sort it out, than ask her again what she wants to change to what. Explain to her, as she was complaining about people not understanding her, the diference between CZK USD and EUR and tell her she really needs to use proper names for proper currencies. So my advice as a former professional on money changing: before sou visit another country google what currency is used in there, google and learn it's proper name, google pictures of the money and download the pictures in to your phone to check if you're being given proper money when changing.

Useful, beautiful, wonderful. The way video reporting should be done. Thanks a lot!

Another great and useful RPG video. Many thanks for the great job you guys do, and also for the reality check (Czech?🤔) at the very end.

i bought a train ticket and didnt scan it later in the machine, because i didnt understand the ticket person. a man in the train came up to me and told me to pay him like 80-200 dollars penalty. (i forgot how much) I refused thinking it was a scam. He showed me his badge but i was still not convinced. Eventually i realized it was for real.

Reykjavik taxi drivers overcharge tourists too. About double.

Love your videos and your city!!

Update! This year the Xmas market at Prague Castle won't be open! Please take note of that!

Valeria ..four yeara after Honest Guide 🙂

First! 🇸🇯❤️🇨🇿

People were ready for it & willing to stand up and protest & change the government. The people were ready to speak caused ? = no amplified ? = yes

Dont go to any cafe in prague expecting to get a hot coffee to warm u up on a cold day. 8 of the cafes i went to all served lukewarm coffee. 2 of them were on this list, such a disappointment

your videos are so good, direct and most of all, FUNNY¡¡¡¡

I'll be there in 9 days! 😃

nice video

Sorry to say it doesn't look wheelchair friendly , also if I could point out visitors need toilets are there any ? do the restaurants and bars have them for wheelchairs ? To do a real guide you need to try it in a real wheelchair because going over those cobble stone streets is painful and wears you out . Also the climb at the end ??? try that in a wheelchair no chance . But thanks for the video it was entertaining and interesting .

You lost me in the first sentence...being surprised that Prague was not a hidden gem...do your research, girl

Hi! Looking for advise for shopping for kids. We will be in Prague in the summer for a music event for my 10yo daughter who plays music and needs a good amount of dressy clothes for her recitals. I don’t want anything from H&M, Zara, Mango or any of the brands we have here in the US. I am also not looking for designer brands. I’m thinking of spending €50 to €100 per dress. Any ideas?

How many tourists smoke piko and then go on your tour?🍀😌😋😝🥺🥺😱😷
