    Next time I am in Prague I have to hire you as a guide, fascinating history. Especially hearing these stories in Czech language might be even more interesting and I need to practice my (almost) forgotten mother tongue.

Have you done.a video on all the wonderful plaques honoring figures in Czech music, art, literature, and academics?

    Hadn't watched this channel in a long time. My mother passed away about 5 months ago, so it was very difficult. I can now travel after being a caregiver for so many years. Now I want to travel anywhere just to get away from this area here. I may just book a trip to Prague for a week. I've always wanted to go there since I heard by a few people that it is more beautiful than Paris.

Then I found that we still have some in my home city London. It must have been something that spread across Europe... Also, thank you for your videos. I am hoping. to come to Prague again next year. Your videos have made me much better informed about your beautiful Capital and surrounding towns and cities in the Czech Republic. 🙂

    I have been to Praque now 8 times and all i can say is that it is amazing, so full of History and culture 😍, The language is not easy to learn but the Czech people are friendly. I was surprised however how many Czech People do NOT speak English. Charles Bridge going over to the old town and Castle is a MUST. Czech Bier in my opinion is also the best in the World 😍

      Traffic in the pedestrian zone of the medieval historical center, where only supplies or residents are allowed to enter. If you want to stand in traffic jam, other parts of Prague will serve you well. Don't worry. I giggle hysterically when I realize that when these roads were bustling with traffic in the Middle Ages, only bison excrement was to be found on the site of today's New York.

    This video was great. I watched every minute of it without complaining. Do you have all these facts in your head when you walk around? I would have had to carry a history book with me to get all this info. You could have done two parts video of this cause there is so much. I bet Prague has a fantastic library where they keep the documents for all this. Do they have a prague library for all the old historic documents, or do they just throw them all in the castle? Did the city have any influence from the Roman empire? Like that would be fun to historically connect things that stupid americans would have heard of, and the city you are in. Although I think prague would have been a city that supported the people attacking Rome.... I have seen a couple videos of ancient Roman engineering inside london, so I was curious if historians were able to connect specific projects to the Roman or Byzantine empire. Thank you so much for this video, Valery and you look amazing in that dress.
