  • Tabor (and no we don't mean Mount Tabor in Israel) is a small town located in the South Bohemian Region, which was actually named after Mount Tabor, nowadays in Israel. In the 15th century, the Hussites built this town as the center of their holy mission, to cleanse the world and help enact the Last Judgment. Today Tabor attracts visitors from all around the world with its beautiful historical city center where you can visit the Museum of Hussites, enter its unique underground passages and climb the tallest church tower in the Southern Bohemian Region. In this video, we'll guide you through this beautiful town, which is one of our most favorite towns in the Czech Republic and one of the best places for your 1 day trip from Prague. #czechrepublic #travel #realpragueguides

    We traveled to Tabor by train. The train ride was about 1 hour and a half. You can book the train tickets here, we recommend making a seat reservation: www.cd.cz/en/default.htm
    The hotel we stayed in was called Staromestsky pension (it's not a hotel really, it's pension, kind of like a smaller hotel, without reception):staromestsky-penzion.penzion.cz/
    It was nice, only few minutes walk from the main square. The other hotels in Tabor looked nice too.
    We recommend climbing the church tower for a beautiful view of Tabor. You pay for the the ticket at the top of the tower. You can only pay by cash and they do not split large bills up there! Come prepared!
    There is also a nice monastery near Tabor: Klokoty monastery. We didn't manage to show in the video but if you have few hours extra and don't know what else to do in Tabor we recommend to visit it. It's only few minutes walk from Tabor.

    Žižka lost one of his eyes when he was a child. Later, in his 60s he became completely blind. Despite this he was still successful leader of the Hussites army…

    How funny. The bottom language at the top of the tower about 200 steps and 50 meters is in my language Dutch, the Language of The Netherlands. That's the last I expected. And more so, most of the times when people from outside our country try to write in Dutch, they make mistakes. But the scentence here is perfect Dutch!
    The town is beautifull! So is the red car! I liked the history! Thanks guys!

    Very good video. I went there in 2011 and saw the tourist stuff, did the historical walk, went down to the small “river” (not the big one you show, another one off the residential street on the walking tour), etc. The people at the tourist center were very friendly and the building next to the center was interesting, incl. the underground tunnels. I thought the city was like a small version of Olomouc. I stayed in a small hotel just behind the tourist center and it was nice and inexpensive.
    I had some extra time the next day, and the person at the tourist place recommended a city called Bechyně. It’s maybe 25 km away, very pretty, small city with a castle. There was a lady at the tourist place, I think Czech, and she either called her husband (American) or he just showed up. We had a very interesting conversation.

    • @RealPragueGuides
      @RealPragueGuides  Před 2 lety +2

      Yeah, there is a lot of Americans living there. We were quite surprised when a couple of American kids ran past us playing on the square. The lady in the hotel told us, that lot of people from the west and from Prague settle there nowadays.

      Thanks to the Velvet Revolution, the fall of the Wall, and a healthy internet we have all become citizens of the world, all hopefully taking baby steps to a brighter safer place to live. I’m very jealous of bilingual persons. How many languages do you dabble in? Not just speak fluently but able to be understood and understand. Before the pandemic we were groupies of a musical group called “Pink Martini”. They toured worldwide singing songs in many languages. They always bragged that they were very popular in Turkey. Who’s popular in Turkey? Their music was very inclusive uniting persons on several levels. Thanks for the reverse comment, I really love and respect your work.

    Actually we do have quite a big river Lužnice, but it is kind of hidden and it flows underneath the city. It was part of defence back in the days together with these walls, but you can take a walk or a bicycle ride to a new districts just next to the river ( new dictricts are located at much lower altitude, basically built on the green meadow)

    Ah Tabor. I switched trains there. I went to the small store and bought a couple of beers and waters. I had a lot of coins, but the ba-bitch-ka wouldn’t take my coins. As I was juggling to get paper korunas, I set my wallet on the counter. My bad, I forgot to pick it up. Back on the train, I realized that I left my wallet. My Czech wife called me an idiot (in this case she was right), and that everything was gone (she was wrong). At Prague, they called the Tabor station, and yes, thankfully, my wallet was turned in to lost and found. I took a very early train back the next day to get my wallet before having to return for a flight home. When I got to the store, the ba-bitch-ka said, “It’s all there.” I had a 6 minute turnaround to catch the train back. I checked if it was all there. Nope. She had collected her fee. I’m grateful that the wallet was returned, but very disappointed at the same time. The spirit of Communism is still very much alive, though back in the day, I’m sure my wife would have been right- no chance of a returned wallet. Thank you ba-bitch-ka, for moving your morals from 0 to 15 (out of 100). Progress, right?
