- Prague has been recently voted the best city in the world by TimeOut Magazine readers. But some people online don’t share this view - instead, they shared their very bad reviews for the most popular sights of our city. Here are the best worst reviews of Prague.

Hey Janek, I think I passed you by this Saturday at the lockers at the train Station. If it was indeed you, I'm very sorry I didn't say hello but I was not sure, mostly because of the mask and wouldn't want to harass a random stranger but. :D you (if it was you) at the locker room at the train station wearing a white shirt, a very similar backpack and were kneeling while putting some stuff away, or just tying your shoes... :D
I just added myself as one of your Patreon supporters. Sorry it is a small start.
CAN YOU DO A MUSLIM FRIENDLY TOUR PLEASE.
Mentioning the Most Beatiful cities in the World Without mentioning any Italian beauty is madness .... Florence, Rome, Venice are pearls with history, art, beauty .... If we talk about quality of life and other things ok let's talk about it, I can understand New York etc etc but talking about beauty without mentioning Italy is like talking about pizza without talking about tomato and mozzarella.
have you done a guide to prague for people in a wheelchair? how does the city of prague cater for disabled access to all the beautiful sites around the city
Bruh the "Time was wrong, missed my train" comment was actually solid gold lol
TBH if it was true it would be a legit reason for a 1star review
Pyramids of Giza - "It's just a bunch of stone blocks" 😂
Same as Stonehenge XD
"it's just a big triangle"
That's what I usually say to people claiming that they were built by aliens. What's so intriguing about pilling up stones ?
Lol😅🤣😂
@@biscoito1r Maybe it had a purpose back in the days. The Nile river was flowing right next to it and the landscape was also very different. The Sahara desert undergoes a cycle every couple thousand years. Back then there was no desert but vegetation.
I give Prague a 5-star rating. I live here now for 2 years and I feel safer then in Belgium. The public transport is great here. I have one recommendation for people who give Prague or his popular sights a one star: watch the videos of the Honest Guide and you know where to go in Prague and having fun at the same time.
Are you from Molenbeek?
@@Thisuniquehandleseemstoolong30 No, but does that even matter? I lived in Belgium for 28 years and I saw the evolution of the safety in my home country.
We love you, Koen, thank you for the kind review!! Can’t wait to meet you for beers in November!!! :)
@@KoenJoos I understand... 30 years in Wallonia, and the last years are more and more awful speeking of safety.
@@Thisuniquehandleseemstoolong30 I am not going to discuss from which part of Belgium I am (Flanders). Because this is a channel of the Honest Guide and not a discussing forum.
Petition to rename the Prague Castle to Prague's Big Ass House
😆
I love next to the Biltmore House, it bigger than most castles.
The people who built the clock stole his car, obviously, don't you get it, Janek?!
Astronomical clock a tourist trap? I don't know man, last time I checked it was free to look at, so...
You'd be trapped in time!
@@piotrchec8156 And time equals money!
Not a tourist trap until Euronet sets up an ATM in the astronomical clock 😂
He mixed it up with Mona Lisa in Paris
There are ALWAYS people who cannot say anything positive about anything. Everyone wants to be a victim. Everything is negative. 🙄
This is a beautiful city full of history and culture. One of the most beautiful cities in the world!
Yes, but unfortunately these people have a "bucket list" (inspired by influencers) that they think they have to follow, even they are not really intyerested.
@@hassanalihusseini1717 I used to be one. Until I grew up a bit. To be honest,it's some kind of weird feeling which makes your own world in your mind. You feel like everything should be by you. Anyways,this video is about very funny reviews,so I won't expand this. Have a possibly good day. 🙂
More than just that, the reviews are just stupid.
@@postindierock5063 Agreed.
There are people who bitch about people that aren't happy and prefer uncritical praise over criticism.
These people has lost the ability of being amazed. I feel sorry for them.
@@user-im9zp4yp9x Well then you need to feel sorry for all the milions of other tourists who are amazed by the city as well.
@@user-im9zp4yp9x If you've lost or never had the depth of feeling to feel amazed at such things I definitely don't feel sorry for you. But if I had the choice of being with a positive person who can look at something and say 'wow!' and someone who just looks blank and says 'boring' I'd rather be with the positive person.
They were bored
Its rather that they dont understand themselves. I can tell right off that the bridge and clock do not look interesting to me at all. Im sure there are dozens of things I could find in Prague which would interest me though. So instead of going to landmarks just to cross them off some bucket list and then complaining that I didnt have fun, I would find stuff which I think I would enjoy.
I just spent 5 days in Prague. I’m a street photographer. This place is incredible. Off to Budapest tomorrow. Thank you for your content ✌🏼
We are looking forward to see you in Budapest. If you need any recommendations from the city, feel free to write me
Make stop in Český Krumlov, and Písek on your way toward Linz, where is the highway.
2 of my favourite destinations...Good luck and enjoy!
@@hugosequeira2997 it was an amazing journey. 11k + images to sift through back in a Florida this week ❤️
Honest Opinion - I was not overly impressed with Astronomical Clock and the Charles Bridge when I crossed it the first time. But the soul of Prague is not in these attractions..it's the city overall, the friendly people, watching world flow by while you overlook The Charles Bridge sipping on lovely Czech beer. It's the ease with which you can move around the city, the views of the city you get from vantage points, the bylanes and cobblestoned paths you love to get lost in. For me it's the best city I have been to ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
So far Prague is one of the best capitals in Europe for me. Capital cities usually feel suffocating and too fast-paced but I found Prague quite relaxing
Friendly people? Do you mean Czechs? Really ?? 🙊
It's a bridge. A very old bridge. What do you expect? The beauty lies in its history. Imagine all the people, kings, queens, Holy Roman Emperors, Presidents and celebrities have walked that bridge and now you are standing on the same bridge. Something so prestigious is priceless and no amount of stars are enough.
A word about the bridge: The first time I visited Prague, I stayed at a small hotel within walking distance of the bridge, in mid-summer. Coming from a much different time zone, I was generally wide awake in the middle of the night, so I would sometimes walk over to the bridge, and even then there was always something going on - street musicians performing, young couples out on dates, elderly tourists taking in the sights, people just strolling around enjoying the view. It was awesome.
Someone refers to the Astronomical clock as the default time then he/she missed the train. I'm lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Just a tourist trap" - yeah... a tourist trap made in the 14th century. I'm sure that was the idea. :D :D
I think it kind of was, actually... something the city could brag about, even then. Just - the amounts of "tourists" would have definitely been much, much lower. :-)
@@beth12svist True! Could have actually been that way too, but I don't think that's what they were thinking, when it was being made.
This is the funniest thing I saw today. It’s funnier than it should be lmao 😂
Fantastic video, loads of information, brilliantly put. 2 out of 5 stars.
😂😂😂
For me, Prague is the most beautiful city in Europe. 😘👍🏻
❤️
I gotta praise this man for doing his city such a service of hyping them up as a great city, and also at the exact same time of showing exactly why its also bit unsafe and scammy.
I loved Prague. We walked all around at 4am and it felt so safe. No tourist crowds at that time either.
I've been to Prague twice and LOVED everything about it.
Been there once, hardest step ever was...
The one on the stairs to the airplane home, awesome place.
Only once there and cant wait to return...
British guy is complaining about having to pay for entering the castle? Most castles in Britain have an entry fee. Actually, I had to pay even to get in castle ruins in Wales.
@Bazza Norf I'm just surprised he didn't got used to that
I wish you had affiliate youtubers in EVERY tourist city. I really appreciate you and your work!
They're crazy. That clock is beautiful. People appreciate very little these days
Yeah
A small number of people appreciates very little - notice the part of the video where Janek says these are the minority. Please don't take it badly, but I think you might be occasionally falling into the same mental trap if your reaction is to generalise it into something negative about "people these days". ;-)
I love your videos, Janek!
Keep up the good work!
Proves that you can’t please everyone. There will always be those who are impossible to receive a great review.
fun video. As they say, 'you can't please everyone' so for those who can't be pleased, there's always Budapest.
bro
Or the castles in England
Jsem čech a tímhle tím kanále jsi mně naučil víc anglicky Děkuji
Mě* :-)
I feel your pain.
There are similar reviews about our Canadian natural wonders, like Niagara Falls, and construction achievements, like the CN Tower.
I gave the CN tower a five stars review. Even after doing the Edge Walk where I almost shit my pants 😁
I see similar reviews on my post office. Some people leave bad rating for everything either way.
The Capilano Suspension bridge takes the cake of being one of Vancouver’s most underwhelming tourist attractions. It’s literally just a shaky bridge in between a highly manicured forest.
Lol the CN tower is trash. How do you even compare that to a very old heritage ridden city or actual tall buildings that are actually good?
Canada is one star for infrastructure. Nature is a different story, which Canada does a terrible job preserving it.
Niagara falls: just a bunch of water
Actually laughed out loud at this video. Cannot wait to visit Prague again!
Been living in Prague for a month for my exchange program, and it's definitely a 5* city ❤🇨🇿
Hope to meet yiu guys, Honza and Janek, I have till December. 😅✌
Would love to see a follow up to the scam sticker huses being shut down :P
Also the last comment about the astro clock.. At lest it was detailed and not just a single line.. THe guy HAD put thought into it XD
There is a Czech video about it. I wonder if they make an English version or just leave it at the community post.
@@MarvinCZ Yep me to
This had me lughing like a stand up show! please do more of these!!!!
I will admit, the parade of apostles every hour was a bit underwhelming but the clock itself was beautiful and the history behind it was very interesting
People can be so stupid. Personally love ❤️ Prague everything in there is absolutely lovely and clean
I give this video of one star reviews: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!!! It made me cry from laughter many times. I also believe that the Orloj would be improved by installing fog machines, lasers, and confetti cannons to the top of the hour show. 🥳 Thank you, Honest Guide, for being my favorite link to Prague when I'm not there!!!
hahhaaaa... but you didnt mention fireworks... i give your idea 1 ⭐
🤣 absolutely 🤣
No matter where you go , there are always people who are too stupid for words!
almost 1 MILLION subs :D
KEEP IT UP GUYS ;)
Something so ironic about tourists complaining about too many tourists, like honey, you're part of the problem
Fellas, love all the videos. I hope to use them to honestly guide me around Prague in May when I come for a college trip IF all goes well with the world in 2022.
Good job guys!
Prague castle: so overrated I wanted to jump out of the window.
That's witty👏
No need to jump on your own, all it takes is to p**s off the right people and they'll throw you out of one! 😁 One of the "tradition" we should consider for restoring...
What a timing!
Came home about 2 hours ago. Had a nice weekend in Prague 😊
There has to be a part 2! I really enjoyed this
I love Prague, I visit almost every summer! You have a beautiful city and you make excellent videos! Keep up the good work my friends! *5 from Greece! ;)
On what date were you recording all of that? I was in prague last month and I saw a person very similiar to you explaining to a group of people how to say tirdlik correctly (that delicious bread thing) near center
Oh my god, some of the reviews. I needed a laugh 🤣
Great video!!! Shock to see those comments and rating. Czech is one of my favorite country in the world and off course, Prague is one of the best city I have ever visited or lived in. Thanks for clearing the air, it is good to see that.
I gave this video a 1-star rating.. too crowded
😆
my brother spent hours first year studying medicine in Prague (he reapplied the next year for a uk uni) and seeing your videos, I can say for certain, that I am quite jealous of him for being able to go to such a beautiful place.
might make it the location of our next family trip
I had an encounter like that with one american tourist, so is in Greece and he is asking what to eat, so i name him a lot of traditional FRESH REAL FOOD, and he is like. "Why you have only Greek food? where can i get a burger". That happends to an island YOU KNOW SEA FOOD, but he wanted to eat his mac-shit burger.
We just posted our review of Prague on our Global Geezers channel and Janek is in it busting scammers. Great job, glad we caught it in action.
We are in Prague the weekend and have loved our time in your city! Thank you for your awesome videos!
4:25 Do you know why there are so many "Never been there" reviews on Google? Because google actively asked people on their phones to review certain places and there was no button to cancel the review. That's why many people tried to review stuff based on the maps photos.
Good to know!
Probably written by people from Brno🤣
Brňáci se o Prahu nezajímají.
Great video! I give it one star! 👍
Для меня Прага- лучший город на планете. Красивый, чистый и очень аппетитный!!!
Nobody understands you

Аппетитный город? Что ?
Prague is incredible! Guess the only time some people show any kind of culture is when they eat yogurt 🤗 Sad really.
😄
To be fair, when I went with my school back in the day the astronomical clock didn't really blow us away either. But that's probably because we were young adults forced to go watch it without much explained. And because of the hangover.
Charles Bridge was a little scary because our guide warned us about the pickpockets and we kinda wanted to go away of the crowds at that point.
The Prague castle was fun, some were indeed annoyed by the steps, but it felt really good when we got up.
Loved the city tho, it's absolutely beautiful. Still on the list to revisit some day.
It's been several years since my visit, ahh I miss it. The clock is actually pretty neat, I laughed that people were upset over it being just a clock.
Clockmaker Mikuláš Kadaň and astronomer Jan Šindel in medieval Prague: "This is gonna be a great tourist trap! Just wait for 600 years! We may think that the sun is revolving around the earth, but those tourists will believe that the whole world is revolving around them actually"
"and we will steal a self moving wagon"
In Prague right now.. autumn is truly beautiful here.. love all your videos and they helped us enjoy our time here..
Prague is a beautiful amazing city. I had a wonderful time there drinking beers, eating amazing food, walking the old historical streets and having good time with my friends. No one scammed us. Charles bridge is magnificent. If you think going to Prague, do it you wont be sorry.👌
I ❤️ Czech Republic.
Prague, I give you 5 stars!!
im visiting prague on halloween and on nov 1st, are some local festivities there?
I'm surprised Prague hasn't given you guys a billboard/sign at every entrance for people to watch your videos to learn about the sites they will be seeing XD
My sister once went to Rome and she said it was awesome, until she visited Prague next and she was astonished by the Czech capital! She highly recommends visiting Prague, she loves it. Visiting Prague is on my list, for sure.
Rome is amazing, so are Venice, but this is medival city. Prague is definitely cleaner and cheaper though.
OMG, how is it possible to not feel amazed by Prague?
I've visited Prague almost 10 years ago and will come back in March 2022... counting the time to be there again!
You guys from the Honest Guide bring me so much joy every week with your videos, thank you!!
Hey. If I'll get enough money I want to visit CR next year. But when I arrive there I'd like to rent a car instead using PT. What should I be aware of when renting cars and about traffic rules?
This was hilarious!!!
5 star review for the interesting and sometimes hilarious content, thanks
I love Prague and I cant wait to come back there. Gretings from Poland!
3:37 he got to sue a lot of companies then hahaha.
I have visited Prague a lot in my life, i even lived there for 6 months (like 10 years ago).
I saw you 2 months ago, i was doing some practice vloggin on Karluv most when you passed me. I said something and you smiled.
I regret that i didn't have the guts to approach you and ask if you wanted to talk and drink a beer together. Next time i see you i won't hesitate :P
Ps great videos, thank you, your information and advice helped me a couple of times allready.
This video is awesome! I give one star! :-D
"You can't please all of the people all of the time" - forgotten who said that but I think it might have been an American in the days when people who could write did so with pen and paper not phones. I visited Prague in 2015 for a week and loved the city but it is FULL of tourists!
Where is that location at 10:59? Looks nice :)
These reviews have the same energy of "This restaurant serves food!!! One star!!!"
These two guys made me aware and eager to visit Czech !
How can be these sweet & honest people not be from the best city in the world! 🤞🏼
Hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂, best video for ages. I give it one star ⭐️ 😏😘
I think I've fallen in love with Janek and Honza. They're super-awesome. At least 1000 stars review!
The most memorable part of the Charles Bridge experience for me was a really old guy, who was probably old when Charles IV was young. He always rebuked the tourists if they took photos of him without paying. And the most amazing thing about him, is that years before my visit, a colleague had told me about an old man on a bridge in Prague who swore at the tourists. It was just like a déjá vu. I wonder if he's still there.
Anyway, I really like your city... it's kind of spooky and moody and gothic; and Czech people I met were really ace.
Good luck guys! ❤❤
Fortunate enough to have been to sixteen different countries, and many great cities. Prague is among the greatest cities that I’ve ever seen. PARIS and QUEBEC CITY are also at the top tier. NYC, BUDAPEST, SAN FRANCISCO, BOSTON, AMSTERDAM, RIGA, MONTREAL all AWESOME, but PRAGUE, PARIS, and QUEBEC CITY are my top three. I live near NYC, so perhaps if I were a tourist, it would rank in the top tier.
i remember seeing the astronomical clock in 2011 when I visited. It was awesome! My favorite thing was going out and walking around late at night... I remember there was a fancy gathering at Symphony Orchestra my only regret was not getting tickets / dressing up and going
My best friends are from Prague, so I love the place and it’s like my second home and visit it every year.Greetings from London.🤗
This is so funny lol I can say the same thing about anywhere if I wanted. But I'll give this video a -5 stars lol. Good video
This was a fun entertaining video. 1 star.
You got me at "Bridge too old!"
Definitely plan to go to Prague one day thanks to your videos. It will be really nice to have the knowledge you guys convey at my disposal to avoid scams, generally overpaying, and overrated tourist traps. 100% still going to the castle though.
I visited Prague and I like it and your clock video helped me to explain to my peoples. Thank You 😊
Loved my 2 visits to Prague and these videos have captured more of what I need to see.
7:20 could I please get the exact location of it, really need it.
'too empty'
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA my tummy hurts for laughing too long...
Hi, where in Prague is this particular place (the steps one), looks beautiful. Kindly reply...Thanks, Donald
They're called The old castle stairs and are right below the Prague castle. One of the main roads to go there. I personally recommend to save them for the trip down, not up 😁
You are the perfect Guide for this overwhelming City, every visit is an Highlight, I will be back, Tekujem from Rakuska
Can someone please give me the coordinations of 7:25? Please.
Skoro milion subscribú jen tak dal
rad budu u toho 😇👏🏼❤️
😂😂😂😂 😂😂😂😂😂 just hilarious! 5 stars video!
I just left Prague a day ago and it is a very nice place thanks for some of the food recommendations they were very good! I will say it was sad not to see the full beauty of the city with all the trees vibrant green but I'll be back one day to see!
I love your sense of humour.
these people just doesnt know how to appreciate history..happy to say our national hero(JOSE RIZAL) once described Prague as one of the most beautiful places he had been to...i hope you guys can find his monument in Prague..so yeah he loves Prague..
Since I'm a musician, I knew about Vyšehrad from Smetana, and made a point of visiting it twice (across nine trips). The walk from the metro is pleasant, and the grounds, including the famous cemetery, are impressive.
