No not really. I live in CA and I don't go to Starbuck's anyway because they won't unionize. I like to support locals. On the other hand, while my gf and I were in Bratislava a few months ago, and in a hurry for some motel food for dinner, we popped into the Starbuck's a couple blocks from our hotel. It was fine. I mean, it's none of my business really, since I don't live there. If that's what the Czechs want, or the Slovaks... Not that I wouldn't live there, in Czechia. Actually, I would love to live there. I want to move there. But we have jobs here. I will be back soon anyway since I am now helplessly addicted to Czechia. Moje Babička a muj dêdeček were from Moravia, and I need to go back there. I want to stay for a while in Kutna Hora, thanks to your great video, and spend time also in Olomouc, thanks to Honest Guides' awesome video as well. I don't know why we didn't watch you guys before we left! Also, we missed Prague Castle. How silly of us! Next time I will be watching for the "100 Red Umbrella". Nashledanou.
That's worthless. Your civilisation is not used to kind of things like this. On both side this will make a disaster.
Starbucks won't last. Czech people know what real coffee should taste like.
I like "real prague guides" even more than Prague Castle. I have been twice This video is great as usual! I may go a third time 😊
As always, great information! 🎉🎉🎉
😂😂😂 The best way to see the castle is with Real Prague Guides 👍. You did a fantastic job 😂
Was 2 days ago (on Saturday) around 11 am and it was crowded with people,but the castle is beautiful and recommended to visit anytime
Greetings from Croatia
Another nice video! Why would anyone go to StarBucks in Prague when there is hundreds of local cafe big and small that is both cheaper and better? if chain cafe store is your thing! I feel Costa Coffee is better!
Wow, this is fantastic !
A very detailed tour of the Hradcany, from all the entrances and which ones to take, to the interior, to restrooms (or not), to the best time to go, to the tower and so much more.
I really enjoy your humor and personality. You make everything seem so smooth and effortless, but I know it takes a lot to put together.
I normally watch videos at 2 times speed, to get through them, but watched this one at normal speed to take it all in.
Kudos to your cameraman and the editing work also.
Your videos were always good, but have only become even more polished, professional and enjoyable to watch.
I agree with you on all counts. I also speed up many videos because I am impatient and critical, but not with Valerie.
Went to Prague a few weeks ago...The castle was beautiful... Really enjoyed it... Thanks for the great video 😊
I love this woman. She has such a good appetite!
Thanks for another great video. We had a wonderful time in Prague last spring and your videos helped. Our 100 Spires walking tour really prepared us for the rest of our visit.
Lovely vid as always - but it gave me PTSD as I had gigs in the Lobkowicz palace where I had to run up the steps at the last minute and a wedding in the restaurant where I had to carry my keyboard up the steps. Screw those steps.
St. Nicholas Church in Lesser Town has a 303 step spiral. THAT was fun, and so worth it!
Thank you for the great and amusing video - Myself and my wife will be visiting for the first time in march
oh dear, you are my friend now, I love the sarcasm. Great video, it resolved all my doubts about visiting Prague Castle, I will be there in a couple of weeks. Thanks, greetings from Mexico.
We booked a Prague Castle Tour with you guys 😊!
Lucky you! I wish we'd done that. Next time!
Great, thanks for the information provided !
RPGs!!! I loved this video! This reminded me of a great day I spent there. I also love the effect of Val on the screen with people cheering 😂. I would recommend that people go ahead and pay the inflated price. There are lots of great things to see here. I don’t blame them for bitching about it, and probably would myself , but I would still pay to see it. Great Stuff RPGs!!
Love your humor in your videos Val. I'm looking forward to my visit of Praha next month. One thing if you could tell me, I read you could buy separate tickets to take photos inside the buildings. Where would I buy these tickets, and also the Strahovsky Library. Do i need to pay for photos ? Thanks ! P.S. I just realized you said the phone is allowed for photos. Good enough.
Brilliant as always
Old Streets remember me on Las Palmas
Thanks!
Thank you!!!
Another great video you look very 🥶🤪 go and have a big ☕️ and a 🍺🍷
If you are going to do a tour of Prague castle. May I suggest you do it with a tour guide of less than 10 people. Pay the money it is worth it. The history will be lost if you try it otherwise and it holds many secrets.
Super Thanks! (where's the ST button?)
Hi I like to watch your videos on Prague, I have only been to Czeckrepubic once last year but hope to go again soon. Can you tell me how was the castle used during and the German occupation ?
Thanks
Thank you Derek!
Hola, muy interesante tu video sobre el Castillo de Praga. Me puedes informar dónde comprar la entrada o entradas por internet. Mil gracias por tu ayuda. Espero que tengas un muy feliz día!!!
I asked for the photographic ticket when I bought my tickets just last week (April 13th) and was told they weren’t issued anymore and I could take as many pictures as I liked.
That's great news. I was just going to ask if I had to purchase a photographic ticket for my compact point and shoot camera. That's one less thing to spend money on.
@@kerrycowley3190 I was using a top of the range DSLR.
First!!❤❤
Yes!!!
As always here for the jokes 😂

Hi. You can book on our website www.tours-prague.eu
Valery at the moment doesn’t guide but is thinking to come back this summer to do Castle Tour with interiors.

That is a substantial price increase. In any case I doubt there will be any noticeable decline in visitors. I will be there around May 18th.
I did not go up the Eiffel Tower for that reason.
WHERE SHOULD I RENT first time in.prague
it depends on your budget;)
I wonder if sarcophagus polishing is a job or a hobby--seems like a hobby.
Inflations are starting du to "a type of bad system" (sarcasm) (lot of bad events).
For a tourist or a traveller the inflation of the ticket is not something problematic (excepted if someone pay for many people) cause we would only go once.
In one side you have the money but in the other side the castle is nothing,and it's only visits.
Is the cost worth it? I mean for what people would pay is there something new,in add?
No.
Business is something more organized,you make the thing already prepared and you sell or whatever and you can't mess with people.
You can't just charge people just like this and saying that's it's for renovations.
They charge for everything,cameras and camcorders. This is "cheap".
Only for the gesture I would not go over there.
This is not good business,it's really not well or normally organized,I mean the tarif for what you get,the logic is very bad.
your perspective is quite limited. It takes LOT (LOT!) of money to maintain the Castle complex as it is huge. Not only renovations, but simple maintenance. The ticket revenue is just a small part of these cost. The Castle maintenance is primarily financed by the resident taxpayers.
My only objection as a Czech taxpayer is that there should be a massive discount for those paying taxes here, as we, unlike foreign tourists, finance the Castle complex(and most publicly financed sights) even when we do not visit it;) Why pay 'twice' and pay for tickets 'again' when we want to visit. They should introduce such scheme to all publicly financed sights, not only to PRG castle
@@letecmigLiar.
@@letecmig You even't know what taxes are other than in airports.
It's a kind of system,the government would have to make a vote first,well in Canada they didn't but anyway the government and the rest of the enterprises made by agencies doesn't have the right to do this.
It start with the taxes in stores then it's the incomes taxation and there is lot lot lot ... of very bad stuffs other than money.
What you are talking about are not taxes. It's a raise logik.
Valerie now it's prohibited to say liar?
This people are insane.
Adios Valerie.
It's a nasty blogger that make nasty videos.
The price increase is ludicrous. We visit at least four times a year with a ten year old. To go from £30 for us to £60 makes this an expensive afternoon so we won’t be bothering for the next few visits. Our money will be going to other attractions that don’t treat tourists as cash cows.
Incidentally, what’s happened to your Facebook page?
Is there anything wrong with our facebook page?
@@RealPragueGuides it’s just that I can’t see anything new for nearly a year.
The Castle complex maintenance and renovations is primarily financed by the resident taxpayers. The ticket revenue is just a small part of this cost. Think about Czech taxpayers that pay taxes to maintain all publicly owned sigts like the PRG Castle and have to pay 'again' when they want to visit the sight.
I think the fair system would be to further increase the entry fees for non-residents and introduce massive discounts for resident taxpayers who finance the complex from their taxes on regular basis even when they do not visit. That would be a fair system
Что-то меня цепляет такая кринжатина.
