To be fair Prague is more visually appealing than most places on earth, due to the planning restrictions on most of the city centre which prevents major changes to buildings and streets. Its ironic that a lot of the UK's cities were ruined by planning decisions in the 60's and 70's when we used to mock 'Soviet Brutalist' architecture in the Communist era...
@@Veaseify, You are inaccurate. Brutalism in architecture was founded after WW2 by young architects in western Europe and British architects were pioneering it. From the Soviet Union became constructivism also called Soviet interwar avant-garde. The management of Odeon Cinemas in the UK must have been great lovers of constructivism because most of Odeon Cinemas are built in this style.
Beautifully restored tram in a beautiful city and with a real enthusiast as guide. Be grateful when we can visit again. Small point; stopping devices are spelt ‘brake’. Break is what happens to your vehicle if you don’t apply them in time.
ah but do you what the question was? It was 'What do you get when you multiply six by 8'...the Universe was a cock up...need to get the last book for the question
My city (Edmonton in Canada) has a really nice history with streetcars, so it really makes me happy to see more vintage ones enjoying a life in Prague. That is going to be the first thing I see when I come there next year!
Love everything about your videos.. making plans to come celebrate my 75th birthday next year with around 20-25 people.. mainly because of you guys and your videos.. you both are brilliant.
Trams !!! You "hooked me" in as soon as I saw that word ! I love that beautiful old tram. It's so well restored ! Maybe one day, I will be able to travel from Australia to ride on her. Thank you for sharing it and your beautiful city.
I can honestly say as an American your videos do a fantastic job of showing off Prague! After these videos your beautiful city has skyrocketed to the top of my destination list (and thanks to you I can visit being aware of some of the local customs and culture)! Keep up the good, hard work because it is certainly effective!
You show off your home city with such joy and enthusiasm, through superbly shot films that I can't wait for the covid stuff to go away so I can't visit! And this will include a ride or two (or probably more) on this new tram route you're responsible for. Really impressive stuff, Janek!!!
I've been to Prague before, back in 2014. But I really want to go again ☺️ hopefully I can go soon and see you there! Thanks for your awesome & passionate videos
One of my favourite trams. Prague has one of the best tram systems and the Tatra T3 is an icon among the trams. Keep up the good work, Janek! Greetings from Vienna!
Excellent repurposing of a wonderful piece of history - history on wheels! - and of course, it works itself through what looks like the most beautiful city in Europe!
The sooner the better - next pandemy wave may occur in fall, as our politicians are crippling the country by corruption and incompetence. Since there are elections in early november, all parties, especialy the governing one, will be swayed by popular decision, thus numbers will inevitably rise - same as last year, which catapulted us all the way into the "best in covid" as PM called us propheticaly.
I love your enthusiasm, both! Your videos help a lot when I'm missing Prague. Also, playing the game of "how long until I can recognize the mazacka's location?" haha :)
Janet your videos are so helpful. You are the best advertising for your country. My wife and I are come to Prague Monday 30th May. Can’t wait thanks to you.
I hope to someday get to Prague. My Great Grandmother was brought to the US by her parents when she was 4 or 5. If love to see where they came from! There is a Czech/Slovak museum here in Iowa but it's what you'd expect for a Czech/Slovak museum in Iowa.
If you mean the "nostalgic" route 41 (formerly 91), then the last time it's ticket was anywhere near 20 CZK (24 to be precise, no child/senior discounts), was around 2007.
@@bflmpsvz147 not at all, I took a ride as late as 2017 on that route/tram, and it might have been 24 crowns, don't recall any more...something around there anyway...
It was a cool experience, but when we rode it from the museum it only went to the end of Stromovka at Výstaviště/planetarium. It didn't go through town like in the video. In the way back it went by the Prague castle stop. To clarify, the actual tram we rode was #43.
@@erioyo that day at the tram museum, the only historical tram running was through hradcanska to holosovice. Since that was the only option we were not "wrong." On our tram and the people from the previous ride and our ride were all local families and families of the conductors. No tourists. it was pretty cool though. We went through the tree tunnel along Mariánské hradby. To Clarify the actual tram number was 43.
Thank you for your informative videos, I am one of your fan. Awaiting to see your upcoming of Ostrava city, I am living here but honestly don’t know much about it (‘-‘;)
If you have a husband or son, go visit technical museum in prague. There are vehicles from the begining of motorised transportation, all made here. Motorbikes, cars, locomotives and even airplanes. It is way better than gallery or national museum, as the era betweenworld wars is our second belle epoque.
Its nice you have in Prague finally same nice turist atraction we have in Brno for years :) But that cam is awesome idea i do not know about and that is inspiration that we can bring in oposite direction to Brno and install it on some tram or meybe trolleybus to :) It will be nice.
Hi! Love your videos! Can you please make a video about restaurants and places to sleep in in prague? And also give the link to the camera on that tram?
Not in these really old trams. They weren't designed for that and the driving would be uncomfortable and dangerous. But in newer (PCC concept) and the really new trams they have seat for sure. Also you can meet T1 (evidence number 5002) on this line as well and there is seat for the driver.
I'm Czech-Vietnamese but I moved to Sweden when I was 6 years old. I notice this channel tends to be very sarcastic about a lot. Like the Porsche tram. I love it! Makes me feel like at home. My Czech family is also very sarcastic and uses a lot of irony. Is that a Czech thing or is it just a prauge thing?
I supose it will be something in slav language and mindset it brings, because not only czech and moravians are meybe to much sarcastic, but also people in poland and slovakia. At least those I know.
Great video. We have always liked Hop On - Hop Off tours in a new city and this one both looks fun and is fairly inexpensive. We will definitely consider this option if we are able to visit Prague later this year. Hopefully, the very confusing Czech rules for vaccinated American tourists will soon be clarified.
@@kingsgaurd I read it today ... The Czech minister Adam Vojtěch said, that all vaccinations from the entire world would be OK for entering Czechia since the 1st of July 2021 ...
I have been addicted to these very trams and I have kept missing them so far 😭😭😭 One could jump ON and OFF during journey and EVERYBODY kept taking advantage of it, because decades ago people were more sporty. THIS TYPE OF TRAMS EASILY COULD GO VIA NA PŘÍKOPECH AND JUNGMANOVO SQUARE CONNECTING THESE STREETS WITH VÁCLAVSKÉ SQUARE by using only one track and going slowly like the tram known from Istanbul ... 👍👍👍👍👍
Hey hey been forever lurker in your channel, awesome stuff. Quick question, maybe some locals can answer, is this tram already running or scheduled to run from the 1st of July? Many thanks!
Cute tram! I love your enthusiasm for your city. We are staying 5 nights and hoping the Christmas Markets are happening this year. No websites have information yet. How are you to buy plane tickets. I have alternate hotel reservations for Colman’s Christmas Markets if Prague’s are not going to be open.let me know If you know anything. San Francisco has trams from all over the US and the world.
The Prague Unlocked is an amazing idea and hopefully we, travellers, will be able to have access to this type of program elsewhere and hopefully, beyond "2020" (they have a typo on their EN, AT and DE version of the website) or even 2021 😊
It is pointless project. Just some bureacrats trying to show productivity by spending taxes. Very few tourists will actualy use it, 8 EUR is just not worth the effort, if you can afford the 100 EUR per night hotels, food and travel tickets, you will not spend hour of your time by figuring some stupidly complicated discount system. Plus what is the point of giving freebies to someone, if our capital is overrun by too many visitors? Any other year we would need to reduce them, as you cant see the city through the crowd of visitors. It is in our best interest to milk as much money from each one of them. Not by scams, extortions or criminality, but by providing everything they expect, but guiding the tourism to show true history. That just means providing something worth paying for. There is NO REASON why Prague should not be as expensive as Venice, Rome, Vienna or Paris.
@@Pyrochemik007, thing is, there will be A LOT of competition to attract tourists in the next two years. So, countries and cities from around the World will need to find fun and interesting ways to add value to what they offer to attract said tourists. And seriously, I'm not exactly sure (or disagree as to) why you're so angry about this little project. You really need to understand that the travel industry all over the World is totally messed up and it's going to be messed up for probably the next two years. Life as you knew it does not exist anymore...
@@travellingsebi It pisses me off, as it spends taxpayer´s money to reduce our income, and does not have an attraction value. In the end it just feeds another bureaucrats who overlook the system. This manpower could have been used to chase out the bulshit shops selling chinese souvenirs, fake marihuana products and russian matryoshkas from city center. It could have been used to punish AirBnB, who take on role of hotels without accepting same responsibilities. It really became business for investors, and huge part f grey economy. It is also a big risk for safety, as we do not know who and when was in Prague and have no way of tracking them. They could spend the money to remove graffiti, or create a sponsored service for citizen which remove them after call. Any of these projects would improve Prague significantly, but all they did is invent complicated discount system. Or just introduce the modern huge underground trash bins, as you can frequently see overflowing trash cans in city center. And you are wrong in one thing - we do not need more tourists. Prague is overcrowded. We need tourists which are willing to spend more money, and tourists willing to stay longer and look around other parts of the country. Other major tourist cities in europe are not our competition, they offer different product.
@@Pyrochemik007 listen, I agree with all of what you said about making Prague better and most cities around the World should make more effort in that regard (I live in Montreal and we have the same issues that you have) but, you shouldn't be thinking of them as a "either/or" thing. I'm sure that both things (what you're asking and what they're doing) can be achieved? As for the rest, well, it could be debated but, I feel like it would be a pointless thing to do since it would be considered an exchange of opinions not based on concrete evidences.
@@travellingsebi OFC you like a freebie. But why should foreign tourist get discount over domestic ones? Domestic tourism is huge here, we are not a lazy nation, we prefer active holidays. Giving discount to tourist from foreign country is just a bad idea, as foreigners generaly earn and spend much more than we can afford. For example canadian average wage is 105 000 CZK, while our is 35 000 CZK. And similar situation with whole western europe, northern america, japan, korea, even visiting russians and chinese are among the richest in their countries. These people are a majority of visitors. Why give discounts, since entrance fees are already made quite cheap to stay affordable to locals? Will you travel here with your 105 000 wage because of 200 discount? No. That is the purpose pushed into us, but in fact, it is but a method to feed money to hotels. Select few hotels with ties to politicians, are fed money out of my pocket. And it will not bring ANY effect, because you are not gonna decide to come here because of the discount. The result is we earn 200 less from every tourist using this deal. It is like a restaurant. Will you visit because they cook well, or because they serve spaghetti 5% cheaper?
Looks like a fun way to get around the city in a short amount of time. But, in reading the city site about the tram it is hard to tell if this is going to be year round or just for the summer. I am not traveling again to Prague until December 2022... didn't know if I should plan on this or study the other tram routes to get me and my parents around. Thanks for any in sight!
Following information was released by Prague City Tourism Opening Hours: Sat, Sun, holidays 10:00-18:00 Departure every 40 minutes So it might be worth looking into holidays of the Czech republic, specifically in the Prague area. I hope this helps in some way :)
How long does the €8 ticket last and is it only for line 42 or is it for all public transport in the ciry? When you visit Gothenburg, Sweden you can for all the public transport within the city including the islands and some smaller areas around the city get a 90 min ticket for €3, 24h ticket for €11 or a 72h ticket for €22. There are also 30, 90 and 365 days tickets but they start at €79 so not really something to consider when only visiting.
"Powder Tower"? Seriously? It's Gunpowder Tower, because it was used as a storage for town's gunpowder. We call it "Prašná", because "Střelno-prašná" would soud weird, but in english, it has it's full name.
Love how Janek turns into an excited 7 year old in every tram related video.

Best place in the world ! Love czech ! Go visit !!
The Prague Unlocked is an amazing idea and hopefully we, travellers, will be able to have access to this type of program elsewhere and hopefully, beyond "2020" (they have a typo on their EN, AT and DE version of the website) or even 2021 😊
It is pointless project. Just some bureacrats trying to show productivity by spending taxes. Very few tourists will actualy use it, 8 EUR is just not worth the effort, if you can afford the 100 EUR per night hotels, food and travel tickets, you will not spend hour of your time by figuring some stupidly complicated discount system. Plus what is the point of giving freebies to someone, if our capital is overrun by too many visitors? Any other year we would need to reduce them, as you cant see the city through the crowd of visitors. It is in our best interest to milk as much money from each one of them. Not by scams, extortions or criminality, but by providing everything they expect, but guiding the tourism to show true history. That just means providing something worth paying for. There is NO REASON why Prague should not be as expensive as Venice, Rome, Vienna or Paris.
@@Pyrochemik007, thing is, there will be A LOT of competition to attract tourists in the next two years. So, countries and cities from around the World will need to find fun and interesting ways to add value to what they offer to attract said tourists.
And seriously, I'm not exactly sure (or disagree as to) why you're so angry about this little project. You really need to understand that the travel industry all over the World is totally messed up and it's going to be messed up for probably the next two years. Life as you knew it does not exist anymore...
@@travellingsebi It pisses me off, as it spends taxpayer´s money to reduce our income, and does not have an attraction value. In the end it just feeds another bureaucrats who overlook the system. This manpower could have been used to chase out the bulshit shops selling chinese souvenirs, fake marihuana products and russian matryoshkas from city center. It could have been used to punish AirBnB, who take on role of hotels without accepting same responsibilities. It really became business for investors, and huge part f grey economy. It is also a big risk for safety, as we do not know who and when was in Prague and have no way of tracking them. They could spend the money to remove graffiti, or create a sponsored service for citizen which remove them after call. Any of these projects would improve Prague significantly, but all they did is invent complicated discount system. Or just introduce the modern huge underground trash bins, as you can frequently see overflowing trash cans in city center.
And you are wrong in one thing - we do not need more tourists. Prague is overcrowded. We need tourists which are willing to spend more money, and tourists willing to stay longer and look around other parts of the country. Other major tourist cities in europe are not our competition, they offer different product.
@@Pyrochemik007 listen, I agree with all of what you said about making Prague better and most cities around the World should make more effort in that regard (I live in Montreal and we have the same issues that you have) but, you shouldn't be thinking of them as a "either/or" thing. I'm sure that both things (what you're asking and what they're doing) can be achieved?
As for the rest, well, it could be debated but, I feel like it would be a pointless thing to do since it would be considered an exchange of opinions not based on concrete evidences.
@@travellingsebi OFC you like a freebie. But why should foreign tourist get discount over domestic ones? Domestic tourism is huge here, we are not a lazy nation, we prefer active holidays. Giving discount to tourist from foreign country is just a bad idea, as foreigners generaly earn and spend much more than we can afford. For example canadian average wage is 105 000 CZK, while our is 35 000 CZK. And similar situation with whole western europe, northern america, japan, korea, even visiting russians and chinese are among the richest in their countries. These people are a majority of visitors. Why give discounts, since entrance fees are already made quite cheap to stay affordable to locals? Will you travel here with your 105 000 wage because of 200 discount? No. That is the purpose pushed into us, but in fact, it is but a method to feed money to hotels. Select few hotels with ties to politicians, are fed money out of my pocket. And it will not bring ANY effect, because you are not gonna decide to come here because of the discount. The result is we earn 200 less from every tourist using this deal.
It is like a restaurant. Will you visit because they cook well, or because they serve spaghetti 5% cheaper?
Looks like a fun way to get around the city in a short amount of time. But, in reading the city site about the tram it is hard to tell if this is going to be year round or just for the summer. I am not traveling again to Prague until December 2022... didn't know if I should plan on this or study the other tram routes to get me and my parents around. Thanks for any in sight!
They should number it 44 and post Tik Tok videos of tourists trying to pronounce it in Czech.
Haha. Or 333!!
No
Finally, another useful, informative, interesting, (and sightseeing) video! Thanks. :)
(NO more "scam" and atm trick video, please!!!)
Beautiful 😍
Love your videos 😊 Is it true that these tram is running only during weekends?
Following information was released by Prague City Tourism
Opening Hours:
Sat, Sun, holidays 10:00-18:00 Departure every 40 minutes
So it might be worth looking into holidays of the Czech republic, specifically in the Prague area.
I hope this helps in some way :)
Come to Prague. I wish we could....
Nice video, will do a tram ride for sure in the near future. Can I use my PID Litacka card on it?
Unfortunately not.
San Francisco could and should make a route like this, going through Golden Gate Park and taking you to the SF Zoo.
we have number 352 from this tram type in amsterdam at our riding tram museum.
A video at the zoo would be fun!
What kind of W.W.II tours are there in your great city? Thanks.
How long does the €8 ticket last and is it only for line 42 or is it for all public transport in the ciry?
When you visit Gothenburg, Sweden you can for all the public transport within the city including the islands and some smaller areas around the city get a 90 min ticket for €3, 24h ticket for €11 or a 72h ticket for €22. There are also 30, 90 and 365 days tickets but they start at €79 so not really something to consider when only visiting.
Excited to visit Prague in September for my bachelors at charles university!! Any advice or tips people?!
Tip: Be careful with our spirits :D
Unlocked international phone…Get czech sim…Can text for metro / tram tickets.
Only wonderfull!!
"Powder Tower"? Seriously? It's Gunpowder Tower, because it was used as a storage for town's gunpowder. We call it "Prašná", because "Střelno-prašná" would soud weird, but in english, it has it's full name.
is the tram covered by the typical pass used for the metro? or do you have to buy a ticket separately?
In the tunnel that is a building is "Austria Weinkeller" written. Is this a commercial for austria or is an austrian wineceller there?
Can you do a guide of getting around Prague for disabled/wheelchairs?
