      No not really. I live in CA and I don't go to Starbuck's anyway because they won't unionize. I like to support locals. On the other hand, while my gf and I were in Bratislava a few months ago, and in a hurry for some motel food for dinner, we popped into the Starbuck's a couple blocks from our hotel. It was fine. I mean, it's none of my business really, since I don't live there. If that's what the Czechs want, or the Slovaks... Not that I wouldn't live there, in Czechia. Actually, I would love to live there. I want to move there. But we have jobs here. I will be back soon anyway since I am now helplessly addicted to Czechia. Moje Babička a muj dêdeček were from Moravia, and I need to go back there. I want to stay for a while in Kutna Hora, thanks to your great video, and spend time also in Olomouc, thanks to Honest Guides' awesome video as well. I don't know why we didn't watch you guys before we left! Also, we missed Prague Castle. How silly of us! Next time I will be watching for the "100 Red Umbrella". Nashledanou.

    Wow, this is fantastic !
    A very detailed tour of the Hradcany, from all the entrances and which ones to take, to the interior, to restrooms (or not), to the best time to go, to the tower and so much more.
    I really enjoy your humor and personality. You make everything seem so smooth and effortless, but I know it takes a lot to put together.
    I normally watch videos at 2 times speed, to get through them, but watched this one at normal speed to take it all in.
    Kudos to your cameraman and the editing work also.
    Your videos were always good, but have only become even more polished, professional and enjoyable to watch.

Where would I buy these tickets, and also the Strahovsky Library. Do i need to pay for photos ? Thanks ! P.S. I just realized you said the phone is allowed for photos. Good enough.

    The price increase is ludicrous. We visit at least four times a year with a ten year old. To go from £30 for us to £60 makes this an expensive afternoon so we won’t be bothering for the next few visits. Our money will be going to other attractions that don’t treat tourists as cash cows.

      The Castle complex maintenance and renovations is primarily financed by the resident taxpayers. The ticket revenue is just a small part of this cost. Think about Czech taxpayers that pay taxes to maintain all publicly owned sigts like the PRG Castle and have to pay 'again' when they want to visit the sight.
      I think the fair system would be to further increase the entry fees for non-residents and introduce massive discounts for resident taxpayers who finance the complex from their taxes on regular basis even when they do not visit. That would be a fair system

  • @ojichrom8448
    @ojichrom8448 4 місяці тому

    Inflations are starting du to "a type of bad system" (sarcasm) (lot of bad events).
    For a tourist or a traveller the inflation of the ticket is not something problematic (excepted if someone pay for many people) cause we would only go once.
    In one side you have the money but in the other side the castle is nothing,and it's only visits.
    Is the cost worth it? I mean for what people would pay is there something new,in add?
    No.
    Business is something more organized,you make the thing already prepared and you sell or whatever and you can't mess with people.
    You can't just charge people just like this and saying that's it's for renovations.
    They charge for everything,cameras and camcorders. This is "cheap".
    Only for the gesture I would not go over there.
    This is not good business,it's really not well or normally organized,I mean the tarif for what you get,the logic is very bad.

    • @letecmig
      @letecmig 4 місяці тому

      your perspective is quite limited. It takes LOT (LOT!) of money to maintain the Castle complex as it is huge. Not only renovations, but simple maintenance. The ticket revenue is just a small part of these cost. The Castle maintenance is primarily financed by the resident taxpayers.
      My only objection as a Czech taxpayer is that there should be a massive discount for those paying taxes here, as we, unlike foreign tourists, finance the Castle complex(and most publicly financed sights) even when we do not visit it;) Why pay 'twice' and pay for tickets 'again' when we want to visit. They should introduce such scheme to all publicly financed sights, not only to PRG castle
