I visited Prague for a few days in the
summer and it is just as lovely as
everyone had mentioned there is so much
history gorgeous architecture delicious
food and wonderful people in this
beautiful city there was so much to see
and do here that I was a little
overwhelmed in the beginning but I
figured out a great three-day itinerary
and I hope this will help you out on
your trip - the first thing I had to do
in Prague was check out the famous
Charles Bridge at 7 o'clock in the
morning and I'm gonna go explore Prague
a little bit before the mass crowds come
out because Prague is a very tourist
heavy destination so I'm going to go
check out Charles Bridge because that's
one of the most popular destinations in
Prague
[Music]
okay so this is Charles Bridge there's
already a lot of people here 7:30 but
later on is just going to be packed
but this bridge was actually built in
the 13-14 13th century 1357 and it's
still going on strong I did go through a
lot of disasters but kept on rebuilding
it but it's been here since the 1300s so
pretty historic also there's a bunch of
statues up here and those were built in
16 17th century but in 1965 now they
replace them with replicas and the
original ones are in the National Museum
this bridge leads to the Prague Castle
over there over there
[Music]
same spot for portraits and weddings
engagement photos everybody wants that
picture here I mean every bride was here
to get that special photo with their
husband-to-be
[Music]
there's a myth going around that says if
you touch this guy statue with the five
stars around his head you're bound to
have some good luck the statue is of
john of nepomuk the priest and prague
under king wenceslas the fourth
[Music]
going to the John Lennon wall right now
so it's a very symbolic wall in Prague
and during communism they would come at
night and you know draw their freedom of
speech basically and they would get it
erased the next day because you know the
Communists would erase it but at the end
of communism they it was like a
symbolism of hey it's the freedom of
speech we could write whatever you want
now and the graffiti stays up there so
that's why it's such a symbolic place
and they caught the John Lennon wall
because I think they wrote like Beatles
lyrics and all that but it's a pretty
cool meaning I'm a very symbolic meaning
and is that the previous wall but the
meaning behind it is beautiful here is
the gentleman
[Music]
I am down here at the base of lava river
this is where the sponsor supposed to be
when you look at pictures or video
there's loads of them but I leave about
once one I guess right now there's not
any around and love a duck two ducks
around boats it could take a boat
towards here there was like a vendor
over there and then charles bridge is
behind me over there
[Music]
Kumba Island is also home to these
creepy baby statues designed by Davi
Sharon II who is a Czech sculptor known
for his eccentric artwork
he has many weird and quirky sculptures
throughout Prague I kind of like them
[Music]
I'm at mala strana this is one of the
oldest quarters in Prague it's full of
growth style buildings with eateries
pubs also st. Nicholas churches here so
that's you go check it up
[Music]
the Saint Nicholas Church
[Music]
this church is famous because Sebastian
Bach and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and
both had concerts at this church it's
pretty cool very historic iconic
composers so you can take a look inside
this church but it'll cost a hundred
crowns which is a bow or dog fifty cents
US dollars this seemed like there was
much in here so I didn't do it but you
want to just go right in there
[Music]
next head on over to Old Town to check
out the astronomical clock show that
happens on the hour every hour be
prepared for mass crowds if you want to
see Old Town in the clock without all
the people go in the morning that's
exactly what I did the next morning and
I'll tell you a little bit more about
the clock when I get to that point
[Music]
for lunch or dinner enjoy a great view
of this mill-wheel
at this cute cafe located near the John
Lennon wall you can't miss it
they serve traditional Czech food and a
variety of other European dishes
after dinner walk off those calories and
walk up these stairs to the top of the
hill by the wrestling Titans to get a
grand view of Prague halfway ok the
views are incredible and the walk uphill
is well worth it the best part was that
there wasn't that many people up here
around this time and in the summer it's
nearly impossible to go anywhere without
a crowd so it was a nice treat as I
mentioned before old town has a
completely different vibe in the morning
hardly anyone there except for the early
risers like myself and wedding shoots
enjoy this peaceful moment while you can
[Music]
so behind me over there as the
astronomical clock it was built in the
1400s and it's still working a lot of
people come here to the old town square
- just to see the show it happens every
hour on the hour and they have like
skeletons movie and there's like four
people up top that do some little things
and a skeleton rings a bell and there's
some other things going on hundreds of
people come on the hour just to watch
that show interesting sad tidbit about
about this clock is that the man that
built it he was blinded right afterwards
so that he wouldn't build one anywhere
else around the world kind of a sad
story but he built an amazing clock that
still works and it tells a lot of
different times that's why it's called
an astronomical clock because it has
like a hand for the song in the mood
some other things I don't know but it's
pretty amazing
[Music]
if you're hungry for some breakfast head
on over to ded knock which is about an
eight minute walk from Old Town it is
the cutest restaurant with wonderful
pancakes and other breakfast foods get
here early to beat the crowd because the
seating is limited and it's pretty
popular
[Music]
next take a stroll around Jewish quarter
this used to be one of the poorest
neighborhoods in Prague and now it's one
of the richest with high-end stores like
Valentino and Gucci next to the shopping
area are several synagogues you can
visit along with the old Jewish cemetery
[Music]
right behind me over there the dancing
house a famous spot in Prague when it
comes to shoot just the dancing house it
was designed by a check for Asian
architect and I guess it was kind of
controversial because it's such a stark
difference from all the beautiful the
Gothic and Art Nouveau and you know
those historical beautiful buildings
that Prague is known for but they got
built and now it's there we go inside
and get a coffee and stuff upstairs but
don't think people do that
[Music]
I'm dying because I'm trying to find
this castle called this Haddad and a few
locals recommended it to me and said you
know it's way less touristy than Prague
Castle and then I should stop by so I
came back to Miller Hills and I hate
pills and I was pretty steep there's no
signs anywhere I see this for looking
thing and I believe this is it but yeah
there's there's no signs anywhere it's
like everybody's kind of confused on the
table you know there is a side miss hard
smoothie up here a lot bigger than I
anticipated I think in ancient viscera
the place of first Czech Kings residence
where criminal family castle used to
stay and the place full of myths and
legends looks like there's a nice view
up here this is the beer garden that
nice
back to the video here look at this view
[Music]
this place is humongous I don't think
it'll be this big but there's so many
things to check out here there's a beer
garden there's a gorgeous view it's
actually a long trail path you can see
Prague the city hurry me is the church
and there's bistros cafes I really like
about this place as that there's not
that many people here it's not crowded
like the Prague Castle everybody has
their own space everybody kind of knows
their own bench it's nicely shaded and
bench areas this whole place is really
old from the 10th century that church
behind me it's the silic of Saint Peter
and Saint Paul yeah st. Peter and st.
Paul and I wish I can go check it out
but I just don't have the time I just
didn't expect it to be this big here but
yeah it's a great place to relax and see
the beauty here you could end the
evening in this house beer garden with
cheap beer great grills food and
fantastic views of Prague or head back
into the city centre and enjoy a rooftop
view at intercontinental Prague
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
I'm at the Prague Castle now it is huge
there's so much ground to cover I'm not
going to cover all of it but I'm going
to take out the main point of it but the
main sights
it's the largest castle grounds in
Europe with 750,000 square feet of
ground I was built in the 9th century
the most famous thing to see here is the
st. Vitus Cathedral right behind me over
there I'm about to go check it out now
the inside is supposed to be beautiful
you can pay to view the entire ground
but I'm not going to I'm just going to
walk around a little bit and then check
out the inside the church which you
could do for free and then there's also
Golden Lane which I'm probably gonna
check out later and at 5 o'clock it's
free to get into Golden Lane there's no
vendors open I don't think but you could
still go in and walk around with less
key
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
if you still have energy left after
visiting the prague castle head back to
the other side of the bridge and check
out Wenceslas Square the Franciscan
gardens Church of Our Lady of the snows
the head of Franz Kafka and so much more
in the evening check out Lucerne aha
where one of Prague's famous statues
hangs on the ceiling King Wenceslas
writing an upside down horse it's one of
Davey's tyrannies controversial statues
in Prague there's also a cafe cinema and
music bar here but the most interesting
thing to see here are these non-stop
running open wooden elevators calls with
powder dusters
[Applause]
