One linguistic note. The word "dollar" comes indeed from the silver coins from Jáchymov. The original German name of the town is Joachimsthal, which gave the name "thaler" to the coins. Thaler became tolar and the rest is history. :)
Correct. The German name for todays Jáchymov was Joachimsthal (lit. St Joachim's valley) - the silver coin was named just in short version "Thaler" (dropping the Saint Joachim) From this "Thaler" the Czech Tolar and the American Dollar derived.
In Russia, joachimsthalers called "jefimki"))
@@vladislavzubarev5883 I just looked it up: jefimki derived via Polish from the Joachim part of the name - and therefore not from the Valley part like German, Czech or English.
So does it mean that polish 'talar' comes from there too?
@@wiewioraa8 Most likely
Greetings from Montecatini Terme, Italy: UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Karlovy Vary and other thermal spas in Europe! 🇮🇹💕🇨🇿
The city of Baden, near Vienna, Austria is also on the list.
@@parpar3 try Budapest too
What is super interesting to me, is that both Montecatini Terme and Karlovy Vary have this round biscuits as a typical sweet. I don't know if there is relation between the two things, but my mind immediately found out this link! 😂
I can feel the vibes of the future Honest Guide episode here 😃
@@HONESTGUIDE please, sort the Kolonada vs Cialde di Montecatini dispute 😂
When I heard the drink called Beton, I was like "so it hits you like concrete" because beton means concrete in Turkish too.
In Dutch too :)
In Russian too :D
Same in Latvian
In Hungarian too :D
In romanian too
Young men that were from a background of intellectuals or some private ownership were considered “bad Kader” and had to work in a mine for 1-2 years to be allowed to go to university.
In my humble opinion, this might be one of the best videos of yours! Thank you a lot for this, I enjoyed it every second, just continue this way! Perfect :)
It really is the best city in Czech.
This is an exceptionally great video, congratulations. I'm Hungarian, so I don't live that far from the Czech Republic, but unfortunately I've never been there so far. Maybe one day I can visit Karlovy Vary. It looks gorgeous and the attractions are very interesting. I'd like to suggest something for a future video. If you could show us Prague's pro football teams' stadiums (Bohemians, Slavia, Sparta, Viktoria Zizkov), that'd be cool. I know this subject wouldn't be too exciting for every tourist, but I'm sure there'd be viewers who would enjoy the tours. Slavia's new arena looks fantastic in Google Maps. :)
I believe Karlovy Vary served as the inspiration for the 2014 movie The Grand Budapest Hotel by Wes Anderson.
There were large spa in hungary.
@@Pyrochemik007 still is. Budapest have quite a few great spas that look like Kaiser Franz Josef II. just left
What a gorgeous city! I loved Prague and your videos have really made me want to explore more of your beautiful country! Thank you for showing us around
Oh my god! Why I haven't known that you were in Cheb. I just live 5 minutes by car next to the city
Great video about the region!
We want to visit the Czech Republic because of your videos -- I love these videos from other regions in Czechia
Oh with my brother We went to Chyše on foot for 40 km, I love these trips!
Love that you are showing other sites in the CR !! Keep it up !!
I visited this beautiful town and was so impressed, I really want to return one day.
Zámecký Pivovar has the best beer. They sell it to go/take home in 1.5 liter plastic bottles.
Great video, hope to see more like this from different parts of Czech republic!
I saw the house and it remind me of my Czech "parent.s" house, it was a trow back to 1995... and no I am Czech, I just was an exchange student that had a chance to live in CZ in 1995-96... Thanks for you show, it is full of information, and for me, sometimes nostalgia, such as today.
Your such a great tour guide, luv your videos and admire your passion.
What a stunning place Karlovy Vary looks. Great work guys.
Thank you!
Great video!
Looking forward to seeing it in person some time
always thanks for your video!!
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuu to take me back. I was in Karlovy Vary and is very beautiful, also around. As Pilsen, Prague 😊
Thank You, Honest Prague Guys!👍👏👋
I'd love to visit here with my family, so cool!
This looks like an awesome card! Karlovy Vary is now definitely on my brand new solo travel list (recently got dumped by my bf who also loves your channel but I showed it to him so .. :D)! Thank you Honest Guide(s)! Much love from Bulgaria!
Awesome video. So much variety and fast paced
Wow, 10 seconds and I'm here.
Awesome video. One of your very best. Once we can travel to Czech from the UK, we will follow your footsteps.
Nice information, I was there many times but I haven’t see those museums and attractive places! Thank you for sharing the information.
Thanks so much! Can't wait to explore all those places on my own ❤
Would be great if you'd show a map each time you mention a new place!
really like your videos and enthusiasm which going out of it. thanks for sharing your tour with us.
Best video since long time!
Excellent video, thank you for posting.
Great video. Ideas for another cycle tour!
350 CZK is so affordable for all those places you can visit! Great video guys. Really would love to visit your beautiful country one day.
The czech gov’t subsidies a lot of these places through the minstry of fianance so its very affordable indeed. Some of these places. Other places can be pricier though. Depends really
Immediately recognized Favoritka's rear lights. It was also my first car.
Karlsbad inspired Wes Anderson for his movie Grand Budapest Hotel when he was here at film festival. Also the look of hotel building is made after one local hotel (which is no longer pink after reconstruction). And the statue of deer is in original statue of chamois.
As far as I know it was filmed in Görlitz in an empty department store.
Some beautiful places around Czech Republic, thank you!
Great video! Beautiful views of the country and you are very nice! 😊
I went to Karlovy Vary in winter. It was magical, but it looks fantastic in summer.
Great video!
These videos will make me get outside of Prague on my next visit
Tolar was a Slovenian currency when they left Yugoslavia.
Love the video. Love you too much. Love the praguè
It beautiful, thanks so much to introducing
Happy you like it, thanks! We've put a lot of work into making this long episode so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
7:30 I camped illegally but for free out behind those moth butterfly houses and tower and beer garden for like three days when I was in Karlovy vary. Awesome views.
Here for this! 😁
You're doing great but I would like to remind if you're moving out from Prague to another city or town please notify how to reach that destination, mode of transport, how far and how long it will take and the cost. This will give the viewers a better idea for future tourist to plan...👍😃
"PRAMEN" is close to the Dutch word "PRAMMEN", which is a popular word (plural) for the upper female anatomy. So I was amazed they were selling these in Prague, the first time I visited ;-)
There is also a hotel in Karlovy Vary, whose facade was the model for the hotel in the film Grand Budapest Hotel.
I have a picture of a Velorex, that I took, when I was in Prague. It was yellow. Very cool.
We had that Skoda in white.
Absolutely loved visiting Karlovy Vary and exploring the city, was there in Dec 2018 and felt so relaxed there...just a shame the becherovka museum was undergoing refurb at the time as it was steps away from my hotel! Cannot wait for restrictions to be eased for uk tourists so i can return to Czech Rep
I heard that after brexit all british tourist need to be guided by a responsible adult. :P
@@Pyrochemik007 providing they join me for a beer or 5 with goulash i have no problems being 'chaperoned' 🤣 will make a difference to being a solo traveller 😋
@@valeriehulm1255 That is quite the calory bomb. Do not forget to combine with a sport activity. Biking and canoeing go well with both, as certain level of alcohol is mostly tolerated. (However in responsible amounts, getting drunk is reserved for evenings :D)
There is not that many bikepaths, but generaly any small country road serves as one. Unlike germany we have plenty of small roads with close to no traffic.
For canoeing, this should give the info you need: news.expats.cz/sports-fitness/canoeing-in-the-czech-republic/
I've never seen a better ad for a card. I don't live in your country or continent, but I love a good deal and if I were going to travel I would consider going here. Most likely I'll keep traveling through your videos though.
awesome!
I've been more of a Pragaholic, but you've actually got me thinking about Karlovy Vary.
Yepp, its an increadibly beautiful little town, especially summer times of course.....
There is our one and only international movie festival in Karlovy Vary, so come in next summer. It means the movies are in english or subtitled, and a few are a premiére. Usualy some hollywood faces show up.
@@conceptalfa How about winter? Are there any warm baths there?
Wow was only planning to spend a week in Prague but now I think I need to spend some days here😯
What happened to your old videos? When I went back to rewatch some of them there weren´t there anymore. For example the video with a place where a lady sold haning plants, the store that let´s you colour your own mugs,...
I am finally going to Prague after I had to cancel my trip last march. Just a few more days and I can´t even describe how excited I am!!!
Disputes with their old employer :(
@@mloxard-9321 Thanks for your help. That really sucks but maybe they can redo some of the videos with updates on the places... :)
They explain all about the missing videos and plans for the future here: ua-cam.com/video/PZoDexmnuMI/v-deo.html
@@SummerJune25 they are and there are some reuploads from fans
Best Becherovka is lie down 3 days in freezer. Than Becherovka gets lava effect and teast is best.
However good is with Sprite who don't need that strong taste.
For the museum of soviet era, not only Czech people can find things from their childhood. I bet we Poles can relate 😎
many of those things were made in USSR or Poland and exported to whole eastern block
Romanian here, I am actually envious because yor TV was color 😂
Wow 🤩 cool 😎 I guess my 1-day visiting Karlovy Vary plan will not be enough 😅🙈
I believe i’ve seen that special car playing in a movie 🎥 🍿 😊Movie : vrchní prchní (on netflix 😃)
Hey guys any chance u might do a video about what attractions are open and pubs and clubs under your current covid restrictions and if tourists are coming back? Thanks lads love your videos.
Hello! Such a great video, as always. Any chance you could do a video for vegetarians and vegans?
"Back to the future without the delrain"? was puzzled a bit, guess you meant DeLorean ;)
What a great video guys! Would love to see Karlovy vary on my next trip to Czech Republic. May I ask the journey time from Prague, public transport or hire car? 🤔
You can get there by bus in 2hours or by train in 3hours :DD
@@marekneubauer7165 thank you for the reply, very helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to advise me. Thanks very much and have a great day!
I would reccomend train, more comfortable, and you can read or connect to internet without vomiting your insides out. Plus eating there is allowed, and you sit with friends facing each other. (You need to obtain your own friends though.)
@@Pyrochemik007 thanks very much for replying and giving me great advice - I shall look into the comfortable train as opposed to the vomit-mobile! 😂 have a good day!
Hi honest guides! Could you please make a video about rooftops that we can climb for free for great views of Prague? Thanks.
This makes me really want to go back to Czech republic
Please cover Ještěd sometime in the future.
4 shots at 10am? I'm Canadian so count me in.
hahah, I take your word for it!
Would love to see you in Nepal!!!
nice
More videos about beer please! True beer fans like me love czech beers🍻
Then go to your local pub and demand czech beer. Do it until they decide to order it just to shut you up. But then everyone will want it too.
@@Pyrochemik007 oh man, for sure I have drunk more czech beers than you...
@@birraspeople That is a bold statement toward a czech guy.
@@Pyrochemik007 well, tell me what's your favorite one
Please visit some of the hidden gem spot in CZ
Getting major “Czech Rick Steves” vibes 👍
Next region: Vysočina, only Czech region with 3 UNESCO sites
Karlovy vary jsou beautiful ;)
Came for travel tips. Stayed for the club music.
the last track was a bit to hard for my taste xD love you guys
Do you guys write the script first and then shoot or is it spontaneous? Can you create a tutorial on how to make these video blogs ?
Please discuss more World Heritage Site places in Czech Republic
I am watching your videos every now and then because I am considering to go to Prague. I was wondering if you could give me some advice about nice hotels to stay which are not super expensive but kinda good quality.
I am Dutch and on the websites I am trying to find a nice stay, there has been called a lot of disadvantages for example room isn’t clean or something like that.
Actually pretty oké for a student. Proper is important to me.
Greetings from Sulawesi
Beton means concrete in hungarian too
will be helpful Prague's card for the attractions??
Janek: "The nature is very smart"
The nature: "Lamp..."
It is great to see a video about, from Karlovy Vary. I hope, one day I can visit the city, got to the Film Festival and maybe stay for a night in the Grandhotel Pupp, like Queen Latifah* and Daniel Craig** did it! ;) Best wishes and Hugs (to Janek) from Pécs, Hungary! ;) E, (**Last Holiday; **James Bond: 007 - Casino Royale)
i love my visits to the Czech Republic, including the karlovy vary. the only thing i disliked is finding a hotel with a lift/elevator. i would LOVE to take my father but he cannot do stairs.
I have to visit the city and of course I will buy the card
Hello Janek & Honza, I was in Prague with my girlfriend 2 years ago before Covid-19. It was so nice and now I want to bring my whole family with me. We are not sure if we can visit, because we are not fully vaccinated yet. Can we still visit bars or restaurants?
Thank you so much for your work!!
You can if you have an official PCR test that is not older than 1 week, or an antigen test not older more than 72 hours. If you want to dance the test must not be older than 24 hours. OR if you had covid you have peace for 180 days. But you must have a paper/digital confirmation from your doctor.
And the approved vaccines are only those that have been approved by the EMA. Comirnaty (pfizer), Spikevax (modern), Vaxzevria (astrazeneca) and Janssen.
@@romanc189 thank you!
They'll probably raise the price of that card.
I don't think so because they teamed up with the city specifically to promote this card. Btw in case you were wondering the 350 CZK price for 2 days is less than 14 EUR which is really good price
3:44 why's that map missing Denmark..
We even have the same name for concrete!
@@janvacek8046 well, guess England is a hero to you for that revenge!
Please do a video on Kutna Hora! It's been a while since you've made a video on it
Search for Real Prague Guide, they did one recently, I love both this channel and theirs.
Heyy i saw you next to the historical clock, If you remenber =)
PANR has tuned in.
As a dane, I'm deeply offende by the map at 3:40... where are we?
We love Becher too!! D:
In fact we love almost anything fro the Czech Republic!!
You need to change that😃
Dont worry, new zealand, which is famous for missing on world maps, is missing here too!
Of course you do like Becher :D We even have a saying: Drinking like a Dane (sorry if I butchered it). Yoour country is beatifull also :) And your products
Beton means concrete in my language too!
I was there 3 weeks ago
Gripping pace to the content!
Some years ago, I bought a traveling guide for Czechoslovakia in German language from 1982 on a fleamarket in Greiz in Thurigia.
As a born and raised West German very interesting.
Any bath houses there from hot springs like in budapest?
Which came first Becherovka or Jägermeister ?
Becherovka is 127 years older
@@mloxard-9321 to be HONEST: Becherovka is 11 years younger, since it is the Czech name used after 1945 after expelling the Becher family of owners and founder. The original "Becher" or „Karlsbader Becherbitter" might be 127 years older.
