Charles IV. really didn´t "start" the Prague castle as you said. Prague castle was founded in 880 AD. 500 years before the rule of emperor and king Charles IV. What Charles IV. founded in Prague castle is the St. Vitus cathedral. 🙂
Prague is such an interesting city to explore, we had a lot of fun and hope to go back in the future because there's still so much we didn't have time for. 30 countries is a lot, way to go! Hopefully we'll get to that number someday!
Hi 👋 Karin here, we're glad you found our channel! Grete is my sister and it was a lot of fun having her join us for this trip. Thanks for watching, we hope you stick around for more videos!
We were there in mid-December from 16-19. The weather was pretty cold with highs in the 20s (F), which wasn't too bad if the sun was out. Just for reference, we are from Minnesota, so we are used to very cold temperatures - if you're not used to the cold, you may want lots of layers. The wind was terrible while we were there, so it felt like the coldest city of the ones we visited in winter. It snowed several times while we were there, which was really nice, but very slippery. Definitely pack layers and a good hat/gloves/boots. Prague is such a beautiful city, enjoy your trip! Thanks for watching!
Prague in the summer sounds like a wonderful trip! It's a perfect city for a solo adventure and it's very easy to get around! We mainly walked places, but we also used the metro and trams to cut down on our walking from time to time. Public transit was pretty easy to figure out and we recommend considering getting a transit pass to make things more convenient for you. We downloaded some google maps of Prague for offline use while we were there and it helped us figure out our directions. We were out at all times of day, including early in the morning and late in the evening and we always felt very safe. There's a lot to see and do in Prague, so if you end up going, you're sure to have a great time!
This is indeed one of the better First Timer vlogs about Prague. Thanks for not praising the chimney cake („Trdelnik“) as a typical Czech pastry (which is not). But you did praise the Prague Ham, which is one of the notorious tourist traps in Prague (beside the money exchange scams). You‘ll find some videos here on UA-cam explaining it. And are you kidding me by drinking Mirinda (= Fanta) from a bottle in a pub instead of a nice cold Pilsen tank beer??!!
We're glad you enjoyed our video! You have a great point about the Prague ham - we did our research before our trip and knew that we had to specify the weight of the ham when ordering, but we should have included that tip in the video. Prague is so beautiful, we hope to visit again. Thanks for watching!
@@MappingIt OK, that makes sense (and explains the "normal" portion size of your dishes). BUT you really should have mentioned the intended "weigh scam" to prevent others from being ripped off. Maybe you can edit your video respectively.
Super nice presentation, and always so positive. Keep on making us discoering plaes with you.
We're glad you enjoyed it! We have many more adventures to come, thanks for watching!

Thanks for clarifying!
How beautiful and interesting! Thank you from Winona for sharing such great area culture! You both are so interesting! My country number is 30 ;-)

Thanks for sharing the history in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Interesting history that I never knew.
We love discovering the history behind the places we visit! It’s so interesting to discover new places!
Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas and Happiest 2024!
Happy holidays to you too, cheers to a happy new year!
Fascinating city. A surprising video in Eastern Europe. Thanks for sharing. You should have contacted me many years ago. Sending you peaceful vibes.
We couldn’t agree more, such a fascinating and beautiful place! Thanks for watching!
Hi Both! Love the video, I am heading to Prague in December, what dates did you go and what was the temperature like?

I'm thinking about going to Prague solo this summer. Is it easy to get around? would you suggest it as a place for a solo traveler?

Karin, You need a hat! You were cold! And, you loose your body heat through your head!
Good point, a hat would have been a great idea!
