TIME OUT Named this the BEST Prague's District - Vinohrady

In our today's video, we are going to visit Vinohrady, recently named the 32 best neighborhood in the world by Time Out Magazine. Vinohrady has long been considered the best place to live in Prague and attracted Bohemian circles. Vinohrady is famous for its 19th-century architecture, restaurants, coffee places, parks, and churches. In this video, Valery is going to show you Naměstí Míru, Grebovka park, Jiřího z Poděbrad, and Riegrovy sady. However, there are certain drawbacks to living in Vinohrady, for example, the high prices for apartments and the polluted air.

Villa Grebovka is absolutely beautiful, a bit mystical. I've been to Prague five times, unfortunately I haven't seen him. After my reincarnation I will be born in Prague!!! Greetings from Budapest

[@chrishutchison5031]

COOL!!! We got to see two Real Prague Guides in this one. I enjoy the moments when Val goes art nerd and explains details about the sculptures and architecture. I would still love to see something on the musical history of Prague.

[@RealPragueGuides]

Thanks for watching! We are planning to make a video on that topic for sure in future. Any specific topics you want us to cover?

[@kenlee1416]

@@RealPragueGuides Hi folks at RPG. I agree on video(s) on music in Prague. One video could cover Mozart, Dvorak and Smetana and buildings associated with them. The other video, perhaps, where can we find performances of traditional Czech music or to see current Czech bands - also what/where are the better music stores in Prague (to buy CDs/records).

[@chrishutchison5031]

@@RealPragueGuides I would like all the topics Ken Lee listed. I would also like info on stuff currently in the palace. I think Mozart's orchestration of Handel's Messiah is there. Cervany has been a big instrument manufacturer there. I know that they made the big concert grand in the palace. I was told that Beethoven played on it, but that guide was not a Real Prague Guide so I don't know.

[@sandor7594]

@@chrishutchison5031 Yes! Beethoven lived here at the Maltese temple.

Liked #311, Vinohrady is usually where I stay during Prague/Praha stays. Oh no...Time Out rated it, here comes the tourists to overrun it like old town and castle dustrict. Love the local charm and Náměstí Míru is fantastic stroll around.

Hi,, the first time i visited Prague December last year, and part of my heart was already left there. Lovely place..

[@kristintoo]

Hi, love you videos. I'll bet this area looks great in the summer

[@vetiver-arno1825]

Our friends have a house in Vinohrady. We love this quarter including the television tower! St.Gallen-Prague. Hopefully again soon.

[@shannonbilger5301]

I thoroughly enjoy your sense of humor! Delightful

[@safelton]

Enjoyed this video a lot. I liked JZP a lot. I took Czech lessons at a school a block or so from the main JZP area. I liked the surrounding streets too.

[@paultodd7806]

Another great video with cool jazzy music and humour👍😉

[@RealPragueGuides]

Thanks!

[@nishikantrajeshirke3684]

I stay at Anděl and been to Vinohrady. But never explored all of this in Vinorhady, thanks. One suggestion, please add subtitle when you mention the park name or city name.. its so convenient to read the spelling and google it later on.

[@fingersfinesilver]

Yup, yup, yup. We don't want to leave. Thanks for a lovely video.

Another wonderful video RPG. So sad to hear about the pollution. That Grotto you walked through was amazing. Definitely a video on the music of Prague!!!!!! I can tell I'll be re re and rewatching this vid. Love your choice of music. So much content in your videos and as usual, MORE PLEASE"?🙏🥀👌

[@oceanriver123]

Thank you for the video, I enjoyed it very much, you're funny, and wonderful to listen to. I have a planned Prague vacation in March 2023, I'll be sure to visit the places you've recommended.

[@BeforeIKicktheBucket1]

Just thought I would drop by and leave a comment: "Nice work guys"!! Have been following your channel since the beginning and you are doing a great job IMHO....I have visited CR&PRG just before the latest Corona wave washed over EU&CR included. The visit after 2 years was certainly a great experience, mostly good, sometimes "interesting" 🤣🤣... As much as I would like to say that your videos helped me in Prague, I cannot say that 'cause I used to live there..college&work&life and all that jazz....until I didn't ..😜😜 So why do I watch? Well, your videos are funny plus have great background..it's mostly Prague after all isn't it... And about the "interesting" experience" from my recent visit to CR? Well, what p--d me off was whenever I went to a bakery in Lidl, Albert etc..there were like 1/2 of the customers who were picking/touching pecivo & bread with their bare hands and putting it back to the bins..and repeat several times until they found a winner... Oh Wow! Plastic gloves & signs asking for using the gloves everywhere. What can I say, morons live in CR as well as in the US...and it's not only at the level of our governments 🤣🤣🤣🤣 And yes, I get the moronic cries about personal freedom when people don't want to get vaccinated (even though I don't understand/agree with it) 😂😂.. Ok, enough rambling, keep on goin' you are doing a great job👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.....and now I am going back to finish my videos from the visit to CR/Prague....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from California...or maybe some day from Prague 😜😜 The world is small after all ......

[@RealPragueGuides]

Thank you for such a lovely comment/message! It's uplifting to hear that someone likes what we do, despite the fact that you know Prague well 😊 Wish you all the best in your video efforts!

[@nickbremner6274]

It looks like a really interesting and beautiful area Valery, I've only been to Prague once and saw lots of different and beautiful places but I've never been to, or even heard of Vinohrady!

[@patrickfitzgerald2861]

Thanks V&V! Since I am an old nerd, I usually avoid the places where the "cool kids" go, but this was nice . . . except for the pollution of course! Finally, I find it both sad and a bit scary that Czechia is now reporting over 20,000 new COVID cases a day. Stay cautious guys! 😷

Went there just to play around on the Náměstí Miru metro escalator like a little kiddie. If remember correctly, it took about 2 minutes 15 seconds one way. Did 2 round trips. :) Not free :(

[@fredyair1]

Awesome guys!

[@PatrickBijvoet]

Hi Valerie and guys. I am really hooked nowadays at your video's. The first 2 I saw about 6 weeks ago, the one about Heydrich and the one of the dirty secrets of Prague. That last one got me interested for real in your video's because you bring it with so much historical accuracy and humor, that I did not stop anymore. Maybe you see it, but I comment every week now. I am a big big fan of your work and look out to every thursday when a new video is released and am honored everytime you answer a comment. If I visit Prague one day, I really like to go on one of your tours! By the way, is it true that the movie Amadeus was also filmed in Prague? Dear Regards, Patrick

[@RealPragueGuides]

Hi Patrick! Thanks for your nice comment! We are happy to hear you like our videos, we put our heart in it. It is true they filmed Amadeus here :)

The most polluted part of Prague - the Sokolská/Ječná intersection is definitely not in Vinohrady, but in Nové Město!!! Unfortunately, under the previous regime, the highway was built here. As a result, this is really the most polluted street in Prague. :-(

[@RealPragueGuides]

Okay! Thanks for your comment! Yeah, by zooming in on this street we wanted to show the reason for the pollution. We should have explained this better.

Another nice video. You will have to explain the origin of coconut and broccoli as a side dish as I can’t even imagine what that combo would taste like. Please do a beer crawl soon. Take us to some Prague beer halls. Feed us salty pub grub and let us wash it down with a few cold ones. Put the cultural renaissance on hold for an episode. Aren’t you thirsty?

I lived in Andel but would do my laundry at Andy's Laundromat so I could bum around Vinohrady while my clothes tumbled.

[@misacraft3714]

Interesting and mystical place in Vinohrady was an abandoned Old Olsany cemetery (the old one, not the new one which is still used). I am not sure how safe the place was…, but it was interesting. It was next to Marriot hotel where I stayed. The place had special atmosphere of glory of an old Prague, some thumbs were big almost like a small family houses, some thums were broken and it was possible to see what is inside. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJmqf5l8iZ1ogtk. In Vinohrady there is also an old Jewish cemetery where Franz Kafka was buried.

In Vinohrady you rarely hear Czech? That's ridiculous and completely false. Prague 2 has according to Google 50.000 inhabitants while foreigners, according to the Czech Statistical Burreau, comprise of 13.787 in 2021. That is 27.5% foreign and 72.5% Czech. Whether 72.5% is rare I leave up to an intelligent reader of this comment. Cheers.
