      I remember in the days before they had security checks and closed the grounds at night, a friend and I would go up to the castle at 9PM with a bottle of wine and drink it looking out on the city.

    2:55 To be very fair, the video understates a bit how steep and difficult that climb can be for some people. I went there not too long ago and it was quite exhausting for me already, the steps are narrow, there are not many resting options inbetween and it takes quite some time to climb up, especially considering that the castle is already in a higher position than the core of the city (meaning you often already have walked like 30 - 40 minutes upwards to reach it just to start the most difficult part of the climb). So there are quite a lot of people for whom it could be difficult, we had my parents with me (both over 60 and one with walking sticks) and they let it be. If you have small children, elderly, overweight people or any sort of walking difficulty that climb is actually quite difficult. I definitely enjoyed doing it, but I just thought adding a bit of context was important if you are traveling with families or in groups, because this may give the wrong impression.

    One thing that needs to be highlighted is the small print on the back of the admission tickets to St.Vitus ( which is stunning, inside, and out). The ticket is valid for 48 hours BUT, and it's a big but as my friend found out, is if you are a later arrival and use your ticket to enter St.Vitus, but are shooed out after 30 or 40 minutes, you CAN NOT re-enter the cathedral the next day. The rule in the small print is that the ticket is valid for 48 hours, but you can only visit each attraction once. I've been to Prague 7 times and was unaware of this until it happened to my friend. We complained at the ticket office but were rudely spoken to, with the suggestion that it's our fault for being unable to read the small print. Would I recommend the cathedral, absolutely yes, but the staff need a serious attitude adjustment. I still love Prague. It's my favourite place in the whole world.❤

    I just returned from my Prague trip a few days ago. While the city is very beautiful and people are great, I doubt I will return any time soon because of all the tourists. The cathedral in the Prague castle at 10am was just extremely unpleasant. It feels like a death trap inside where you walk a few steps every minute while guides are all shouting to their respective groups then yelling at people to move forward while those people ignore you to take their pictures of God knows what with their gf posing for unknown reasons. I was happy to leave the entire complex. 7am was much better for walking around but nothing was opened. I don't understand why so many descend into Prague. I also visited Vienna which is structured about the same but definitely felt a lot less frantic. Still a bit crowded but didn't feel as crazy. I ended avoiding most of the touristy spots in Prague after the 2nd day.

    Just came back from 4 months in Prague. I visited the castle and the cathedral multiple times and was always thinking it was overrated. The cathedral is just above average exept the stained glass that are beautiful. The castle is not that interesting. In fact, Krakow's castle is waaay more interesting and beautiful. But I did not had those tips.
    I also did not tried the tower as just a few hundred meters away from where I lived, I had a place with a clear view over almost all of Prague both for free and at whatever hours I want. A few hundreds meter more and I had a great place to look at the auroras but I missed the day and the second day was way less impressive as the sky was full of clouds in the north.

    At 7:28, the view of the rectangular frame to enter the tunnel that is so rounded on the inside is such a strange image/view. One just doesn't seem like it belongs, but it's nice. I guess they found a way to fit a round tunnel in a rectangular hole.

    • @toruvalejo6152
      @toruvalejo6152 6 місяців тому

      It's more than that - the architect Pleskot, who designed the tunnel, wanted to spiritually connect the person walking through the tunnel with the water of the Brusnice stream, which flows through the Deer Moat - originally there was just a flow pipe - so you walk through the tunnel on the grate under which the stream flows and without walking directly through the water, you are with it and yet you don't reach the bottom and you have to choose whether to go either downstream or upstream. The walls are made of brick, which refers to fish scales, and the cross section of the tunnel is oval, as it was meant to refer to a rock crevice (as these have no ceiling) and at the same time the world is round and unenclosed and everything happens in a circle, just as the life you live is unenclosed and cyclical. The lights are placed in the floor to create a series of different reflections and lights of different colours, so that no part of the tunnel would look exactly the same in different parts of day and different weather - just as no part of your life is exactly the same.
      But the square exit actually has a more prosaic reason - originally the tunnel was going to be built by excavation, so the first three metres of the tunnel were vertically concreted, but eventually the engineers decided that most of the tunnel would be built by stamping, and the architect was faced with a question, how to remake the square entrance into an oval, but in the end he started to like the angular deviation from the oval - the entrance and exit "spires" or lining - because of the sharp cut-out views and the promising light modelling, and he pushed for the oval tunnel to retain square entrance.

    I have not been to Prague since before the pandemic, but the Starbucks that was there then (I don't know if it is the same location, but from Google Maps it seems to be) had the best view of any Starbucks in the world. The view from the patio is spectacular out over the Charles Bridge and the city. I did not go up in the Great South Tower (I don't do 287-step staircases and I have a bad fear of heights) but Starbucks had the best view I saw from Castle Hill.
    p.s. Overrated and Underrated refer to the ratings, not the quantity of ratings. By definition, something with a rating of 5.0 out of 5 cannot be underrated.

    It's not over rated. I was fortunate to visit in the early 1980s when just about everything was free or the cost was the equivalent of pennies. No tourists from the west. My how things have changed.

    Don't see anything wrong with charging an entry fee to go to the top of the tower but charging to enter the cathedral is outrageous. I guess heads of some nuns weren't chopped off for a very long time.
