UPDATE Regarding the airport transport! Our lovely bus number 119 doesn't go anymore. A few weeks ago they changed it and now there's a trolleybus number 59 !

No question from me, I just wanted to say thank you to both of the Honest Guides who are a HUGE reason why I became such a passionate learner of all things Czech. Over the 7 years you two have been making videos, I must have seen them all! They are what kept me motivated when I decided to study Czech as my foreign language of choice in University. Ever since I was a little kid and my Czech grandma would tell me stories of her home and it's always been my dream to go to the Czech Republic. Hopefully some day, I will be able to so I can use all of this Honest Knowledge! Much love from Nebraska, An Honest Fan

I absolutely love Prague's public transport. I love how far some of the bus and metro lines reach.

[@Schacal6666]

I love that you only have 4 metro lanes you need and that the trains are old and not in best condition but because of that are very light and accelerate fast. There is also no AC needed cause windows are always open and constant airstream

Yes, exactly! If you fancy this stuff - there is a well-stocked online shop with different transport memorabilia, a historical tram that takes you to the pub inside of a tram, as well as a restaurant that delivers food and drinks by train. For the full experience you can reach Prague by rail - it takes a long time from Poland, but it is a nice experience.

[@appelnonsurtaxe]

Regarding obtaining cash, I was a French student on a 3 month internship in Prague and as long as I sticked to ATMs from big banks (Raiffeisen, ČSOB, KB, etc.) the rate seemed very decent with my French debit card. And at least the machine was upfront about all fees, rate and whatever bits of money that I would lose during the withdrawal.

[@MarvinCZ]

The biggest issue with these bank ATMs is to carefully pick how much you want to withdraw. They often offer crazy amounts for foreign cards, starting at hundreds of euros and going up. There's always an option to pick your own amount, use it.

[@Pidalin]

This is what I always recommend - to find ATM of some local bank, not using those ATMs called just an "ATM" which are there just for stupid tourists and when I visited Portugal in 2019, my Czech card didn't work with those Euronet worldwide ATMs which I still don't know why, it's clear that these ATMs are meant for American tourists.

[@ResidentOfficial]

Well yea ofc. Its Czech Republic, not a third world country.

[@user-ew6dv6is2p]

same for Asian banks? i will add Prague on my trip next month. quite worried with monetary situation idk of exchange or withdraw

[@MarvinCZ]

​@@user-ew6dv6is2pI'd suggest you get just a little cash for emergencies. Decide in advance how much that would be both in Czech crowns and in your currency. You'll be able to pay almost everywhere with your card.

I have been watching your videos for several years probably and this summer I finally visited Brno and Prague with my girlfriend for a few days. It was really nice and we liked both of cities a lot. Historical sights are beautiful, food is delicious and of course beer is great! Thank you for all the tips and recommendations and keep up the honest guiding!

[@carolosjk]

So far out of all the European capitals I've been to, Prague remains my favorite. Really reasonable prices, great local food (especially for the cold weather) and really cheap beer. You could find amazing tap beer literally everywhere! Your guides were also a lifesaver. The fair currency-exchange list is amazing, as well as some local restaurant recommendations. And the restaurants I loved the most, were the ones names "Lokál". There were a few restaurant locations around the city that seemed to be a "chain" and every day they had a new menu with really tasty and relatively cheap food! I can't wait to visit Prague again in the near future to hopefully discover more of the city and more amazing dishes! P.S. One weird thing that I noticed is that youtube seems to have unsubscribed me from the channel. I have been a subscriber for many years and today I noticed that the subscribe button said "Subscribe" instead of "Subscribed" with the little bell that it's usually like. Not sure if it was a visual bug or youtube really did unsubscribe me.

[@PradedaCech]

So, if the city was a bit pricier (which I would fully welcome), it wouldn't be your favourite city any more? You mention low prices three times in this short comment. No cultural events. No historic sights. Sigh..

[@Veenacz]

Lokál is a chain! And their fried cheese is legendary. All in all top quality service, top quality ingredients, great beer and all that with affordable prices.

[@MADHIKER777]

My wife & I love Praque. It is a must stop on every European trip from the USA. Praque has the best food in Europe and the best food in Prague is at the Kantýna. We do take the express bus from the Airport because it is the simplest way to get to the main train station (least stress). Within the city we walk, taking the transit only to outlying castles & cathedrals. We always take in a classical music concert in Prague.

Gluten free top tips: in the supermarkets, there is a traditional honey cake made gluten free (Marlenka brand) absolutely delicious! And in the square near the Bethlehem Chapel, there is an amazing gluten free Italian restaurant called Alriso. Most coeliacs who eat there once, go again as soon as they can. All the food is gluten free except a couple of the beers on the menu.

[@rresi3421]

Just back from Prague. First of all, thanks for all of your videos, I'm following you since years and even watched all the videos that are no longer available (loved the food tours and found some good places in them). Regarding cash: I draw money form KB (Komerční banka) ATMs, they didn't take any fees (if you decline the conversion) for that (thank you KB). One place that once was shown in your video was Naše maso in Dlouha Road which is a butcher that serves awesome burger and especially the Pastrami Sandwich is great. One of my favorite fine dining restaurants is Blue Wagon which is in Vinorhady and deserves much more attantion than it has. We had the cheapest beer in Restaurace U Mlynáře between Charles Bridge and the Castle (about 1€) and they also serve good food (I had a not perfect Svickova but ll the others were pretty good for the price) especially considering that place in town where it is more likely to hit a tourist trap. All in all, coming back since more than 20 years now and thank you Honza and Janek (the guy behind the camera first :-)) for all the time we had together and I will be back soon. Cheers and love to all the nice people we met in Czech Republic over all.

Hello ! Thank you very much for this incredible video ! A small question that was running in my head for a bit of time, would you maybe consider doing videos for foreigners that want to move to Prague and Czech Republic, or even that are living there ? Some tips for the everyday life and so on. I myself moved to Prague a few month ago, after spending my Erasmus there, and I absolutely love it ! I still love watching your videos about facts that I sometimes already know, but just the fact that you're speaking about one of my favourite city is incredible ! Keep it up !

We just left from 4 nights in Prague to Česky Krumlov where we will be spending only two nights, and I wish it were more! We did watch a few of your videos before our visit, and it was a huge help. Also Jen from "Dream Prague". Thanks to you both for the warning against the jedelniks! There were things I wish I'd watched this video for before hand, but we mostly got it down. Thanks tons. You Prague-ites are SO LUCKY to live there! Everyone we saw on the trams from our lodgings on the #3 and #17 lines (didn't get a chance to use the Metro, darnit) was beautiful and well put together. Of course I notice the women the most, but everyone seemed to have their lives well in hand. We stayed at Botel Racek, with small rooms, but really nice and quiet, right on the river. Lovely staff. Now we are at Pension Gardena in Česky Krumlov in a beautiful room with a garden courtyard right outside our door, and a view of the castle! So cool. Another fairy-tale town. I hope the Czechs appreciate how good they have it!

I was in Prague in 2019 at the start of a Viking River Cruise. I am so sad that I didn't discover Kofola until near the end of our trip when we had a stop in Bratislava. We're coming back at the end of the month and I am definitely having some Kofola when I get there. Hopefully, they'll have it at the airport so I can have it while waiting for my luggage. Sadly, nobody imports it to the States. Also, we can get Pilsner Urquell here, but it tastes like garbage compared to what you can get from pubs and restaurants in Prague.

This is a great summary of a lot of the advice you guys have given in other videos! I’m hoping to come to Prague in November so I’m going to be taking notes on this video 😅 One question that I hope you haven’t been asked too much-do you have a favourite Christmas market in Prague or elsewhere in the Czech Republic? If not, what are some of your favourite winter activities? Děkuji :))

[@SajjieSajj]

Markets on the Václavské náměstí, Staroměstské náměstí, or Havelské Trhy, would be your best pick regarding Prague. Outside of Prague, Český Krumlov is a very nice place for winter markets. A lot of Czechs, however, travel to Dresden (either by car, which is 90 minutes, or by train, which is around 100 minutes) in Germany, where you can find truly outstanding Winter markets! Regarding winter activities, Czech does not have high mountains like the Alps, but skiing is very popular. I would recommend Klínovec, Špindlerův Mlýn or Černá Hora. If skiing is not your thing, doing the same activities you do in the summer is also fine. Sightseeing, going out to the nature and so on is still very magical during the winter, that is if you are lucky enough to have snow when you arrive.

[@davidp.3479]

My favourites are actually those at castles. A lot of Czech castles (almost every) have a christmas markets either in front of them or in the castle inner "square". I would recommend those at Křivoklát castle, that is not too far away from Prague. Then there is the famous Karlštejn obviously, probably the most iconic Czech castle. So check some of those.

[@michaelapetrikova6086]

If you are interested in authentic local Christmas markets, come to Brno for it, city center is small and you can easily walk from one Christmas market to another, each one is a little bit different.

[@p4ttl344]

Haven't been out of the UK since I was 6 years old (I'm 31 now) just got my passport and Prague will be the first foreign city I visit (Hopefully the first of many) your videos have helped me out with the planning so thanks!

[@praguematist]

Paris banned scooters and I hope Prague will do the same. Thank you Janek and Honza for another helpful video about Prague!

[@simonp37]

I wish they would ban the scooters for rent, which are all over streets, but I don't want them to ban privately owned scooters. I still use one once in a while, instead of using my car. Besides that, there are new bikes for rent, which can't just be dumped anywhere, but needs to be parked in designated areas, or else they will force you to pay extra. Just need them in more areas of the city.

[@Kim-J312]

They should be in car lane and obey the rules . We have them in US cities total pain in the arse because they are on sidewalks 🙄

[@simonp37]

@@Kim-J312 are you crazy? People are not very considerate in cars here. There are some bike lanes, but they are full of pot holes. And sometimes the bike lane just dissappear in the middle of lanes where cars are merging. I have my own scooter and go on the sidewalk, if they are wide enough and dont have cobble stone. And I usually don't drive faster than a person can run. I step off if there's too many people and respect the pedestrians. When Prague gets proper bike lanes, I'll use them, like in Denmark or Netherlands.

[@Pidalin]

It's sad because it was supposed to be nice way how to move around, but it ended just as overpriced tourist attraction and nobody normal really uses it for moving around, it's just for fun. I tried these scooters and it's very unstable and most of them are locked to 20 km/h max, so I don't feel good with that on road because I am too slow, that's why people move on sidewalks with that. It it was at least 25 or 30, it would be completely ok on road, but it's still not really stable, you have to always hold it with both hands.....it's much better to use some e-bike.

[@Pidalin]

@@simonp37 I agree that driving it on a sidewalk is lesser evil than driving it on a road, it's not ideal, but you really don't feel safe with that on road, but if you are not stupid or drunken, you can use it safely on sidewalk in places where it's possible, in some places it's not possible, in some yes, I think that banning generally dringing on sidewalks is not good solution because there are places where you have 10m wide empty sidewalk and drive some 20 km/h scooter on road is totaly stupid in such place. But in center of Prague, using some scooters doesn't make much sense anyway, most of people just walk to some tram or metro, riding there on such stupid thing would be too complicated and stresfull and also car drivers can be very agressive and hate you if you are not also in car and they will try to kill you, people who are that crazy to drive in center of Prague are mostly psychopats who will not make single step without car and try to block them with some 20 km/h thing, they will just go over you and another driver will kick you to some hole next to road instead of calling an ambulance, I am not kidding, they will do that.

The conflicting information might stem from the fact that Czech Christmas happens on Christmas Eve, not Christmas Day. So everything is in full swing up to Christmas Eve and it's simmering down on Christmas Day and after. Also note that by law many shops (all big ones) must close at noon on Christmas Eve and stay closed for Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

[@Veenacz]

The whole month leading to christmas day is festive, especially sundays. Those are full of food and drink stands at the big squares. Christmas day (24th) is more like "hey if you forgot to buy something, you've got time until noon". Like Marvin said, everything closes at 12:00 on 24th and you're supposed to go back to your family and spend the rest of the day with them. The next day we usually visit our parents on 25th and on 26th we visit others (aunties, cousins, best friends ...). Then we go back to work on 27th, but not 100%, we already start making plans for new year's.

[@auroraresident2775]

I experienced something I did not under stand last year at holiday season. I knew shops were closed from noon the 23rd till the 26th or 27th. So, I arrived early at the kaufland. When I tried to check out the guy behind me started yelling at the cashier not to accept my money. Not that I was paying with a large bill, 300kc for a 260 kc total. Do they not accept cash on the last day of shopping?? I ended up leaving my purchase there and walking out.

[@Veenacz]

@@auroraresident2775 that makes zero sense. Like absolutely none. There's no connection to the xmass holidays, guy was probably crazy. Also, the shops close at noon 24th, not 23rd.

[@MarvinCZ]

@@auroraresident2775 No, there is no special rule about not accepting cash, they should accept it. Your description sounds rather like you met a crazy person.

[@soDancerxx]

Oh no!!! My friend and I have visited Prague two weeks ago and we didn't know about the no alcohol in public law, we're German and always had a "Wegbier" (Beer-for-the-way) with us! 🙈🙈🙈 I mean we were absolutely civil and not drunk and/or loud, but nonetheless, thank god we managed to sail through and not get fined!

[@Beny_xx]

Yeah, honestly I've never seen anyone being fined for drinking alcohol il public. Most Czechs don't even know about this law/city ordinance. And if you drink only beer in public, that I believe no Czechs would find problematic. By the way, Wegbier... you guys really have a word for everything. Love that!

[@Pidalin]

if you are German, you can drink on public, these laws are valid only for Americans and Brits and homeless persons 😀

[@jankvicala7819]

I would say this law I something like leverage law (similar to loitering in US) police will look away if you don’t make mess.

[@baumgrt]

I was in Czechia last autumn and just got a small amount of cash from an ATM (I had previously exchanged some CZK in Revolut). There were only two instances where I had to use cash: public transport in Olomouc (the ticket machines at the train station accept card payments, but most throughout the city don’t), and public toilets (the ones that are watched over by an elderly lady). This is actually true for most European countries I’ve visited recently (even Germany, which used to have a very bad reputation regarding card payment availability).

Nazdar, Janků a Honzo! Dekuju mockrát za kazdeho Honest Guide episodiček! Ja, Američan, jsem bydlel 1994 do 1999 v Praze. Bohužel nemám šanci vrátit. Vaše videa me pomáhat ale, vrátit virtuální. I liked your out-of-the center videos, like the one on Jižní Město. Maybe you could do more on other čtvrtý. When I lived in Prague, there were ghost tours, history tours, and Rock-n-Roll dissidence and Velvet Revolution tours. Could you do videos going to the sites of 1. folklore, 2. the Pražského Povstání 3. Cultural dissent that snowballed into the Velvet Revolution 4. Communist sites or places affected by Communist historical events, like Vítkov and the story of Gottwald's interment ?

[@HONESTGUIDE]

What a time to be in Prague!! Thanks for the suggestions, we'll do our best!

awesome. showing this video to all my friends who want to visit Prague 🤩🤩

13:26 the little "comment" under the video says: I wonder if someone will freeze frame this and will actually try to read this. See, I'm sitting here by my computer and I'm wondering like "Hey I'd it actually necessary to write some text here?" Mmm let's see! U're welcome!😉😂

I visited Prague a month ago and your videos helped us a lot. But now a friend of mine who is reliable on a wheelchair just wants to know if Prague (the old town especially) is wheelchair-friendly. I felt bad that when i was traveling in Prague i didn’t paid attention to this detail. If possible, can you make a video about it?

[@Veenacz]

Hi. If your friend wants to spend time touring the city, it should be absolutely no problem. Some restaurants may not be wheelchair accesible, but not many. Many trams are also wheelchair accessible. If not, the next one will be, just wait 5 mins. Except the tram 23 which is historical. Most subway stops have an elevator to the surface. He should be absolutely fine!

[@ah3626]

@@Veenacz thank you! And may i ask about getting to Petrin Hill? Can ppl with wheelchair hop on the funicular? Or the only option is to get on top of the hill is by car?

[@BeertouristCZ]

As usual, good and informative video. Many thanks

[@davidtifft66]

I love I love this channel. I'm going to Paris next year for my birthday. But I but after watching so many of your wonderful videos ,I am definitely planning a trip to Prague.

[@cz.travelmaster]

One thing that should be mentioned about the currency - the rate changed quite a lot recently. I've already encountered several tourists who were desperately trying to find an exchange office which would give them 25 or 26 CZK for 1 euro 😄 These days you'll only get around 23.50 CZK for 1 euro. If someone offers you more than 24, then it's 100% a scam. Anyways it's always better to check the bank rate before exchanging.

[@KengHtet22]

Yeah just type cnb in your google and the first link coming out should be the link to the Czech national bank and it shows the daily rates

Hello, we’re on the train to Kutna Hora right now. We watched your videos since 2020 and only are able to come to Prague this week. Our daughters went here on separate trips this summer and they also watched your videos. Thank you for all the great tips!

[@michellemaine2719]

Years ago, I struggled to exchange dollars because they were written on by the markers that check for fake currency. No one wanted them because they were ''defaced'' 🙄 I honestly prefer Kofola to Cola, but I don't really like very sweet drinks, so mostly stick to water. Tell us how you really feel about those scooters 🤣🤣🤣

[@danielcervenka6214]

Most people here in Prague hates those scooters...

[@spildao2872]

Last Sunday I was out with my schoolmates. We were on a side walk in Sokolská street and one idiot on this FUCKING GREEN SCOOTER screamed like: Uhni! (Get out of the way). I was a bit sleepy but if I wasn't he would be under a car in a second 💀:)). I totally hate those people. They think they're something more than us walking guys :))

[@Luna.3.3.3]

💗Your videos and tips are invaluable. Prague is definitely on my bucket list. I'd spend time in Prague, but I'd want to go to places off the beaten path. Less tourist, more authentic.

[@simonp37]

Prague 2 (Vinohrady) and Prague 8 (Karlín) are good alternatives to the center. I live in Prague 3 (Žižkov) right on the edge of Prague 2 and I love it. So many great streets with local coffee places, restaurants, shops and parks.

[@Luna.3.3.3]

@@simonp37 Wonderful. Thank you for your great advice! When ever I'm abroad I try to stay as far away from 'tourist' areas as possible. Even though there's absolutely things to see in them. We always look for and try and support little independent shops, etc.

[@Kyk_cz]

Vysehrad Fortress - a place older than the whole of Prague, full of history. Also a cemetery of czech famous (Smetana, Dvorak, Mucha, Masopust etc. etc.) Botanical garden in the center. ZOO. Prague Islands. Or outside of Prague - lots of castles, chatteaus, nice places, simply acces not more 1hr away from Prague. Tap a finger on a map :-)

[@Luna.3.3.3]
