Janek us the reason i started my acam busting channel ... i cannot qait to go to Prague and trade Ruples for Euros
Everyone sees Cerny's Horse in Lucerna, but if you go up those stairs there is a stained glass installation added by Vaclav Havel. He loved graffiti so he commissioned a stained glass window that looks like painted graffiti.
I have been to Prague about 4/5 times and some of these places I have never seen, I will definitely check them out next time I'll visit.
Been there over 30 times and don't recall ever stepping foot in such places, good knowledge for a future visit!
I'd honestly love to attend a lecture by Adam, he seems very knowledgeable and also like someone who could teach architecture in an interesting way!
There are videos of his lectures in CAMP on CZcams but unfortunatelly only in Czech
I love Adam. He is amazing and I can listen to his voice for hours. There are lectures on youtube, I rember some of them in english
One example: czcams.com/video/iWvU_WU3EDs/video.html
These passageways really add a lot to the city as they extend the public space to the buildings. I loved exploring them when I was in Prague. They are also quite common in my hometown of Leipzig but not in such variety and abundance.
1:53 Adam: "...and maybe buy something". Video shows Cannabis pharmacy
Prague is near the top of my list when international travel is a thing again. Thanks for sharing all of this great information.
I will receive my 2nd vaccination on June 2nd. Then after a couple of weeks, I'll be ready to travel. Prague will be my first destination! I hope that borders will be open again soon. Thank you Janek and Honza for your fine videos!
@@10jpmorgan did you get the third? fourth?

When I visited as an architecture student last year, I passed through a few of these spots unaware of the history. Very cool to see!
The best hidden (REALLY HIDDEN) gem of Prague has to be Joystick Bar close to Vaclavske Namesti, great bar with great people, a place where everyone's having fun. Hope to go back to Prague soon!
Your videos are really interesting and helpful, thanks for your effort you put into those!
Yes i aggre
Adam should have his own CZcams channel!
I went to Prague with my boyfriend around Christmas time 2019 right before the pandemic and It was magical and still is magical to me I will never stop watching these videos hahah. I paused it so much just now to show my boyfriend like oh look we went there!! and I kept nodding or even verbal agreeing with Adam during the video, like I was there in person... the passages in Prague are true gems!!! great video :)
You never disappoint! Even if your old videos are gone I do enjoy the new content!!! Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA
What happened to the old videos?
I was wondering what happened to the old videos?? All their playlists and vids from more than 6 months or so are deleted.
They used to work for a big Czech company. They left it and went solo. Unfortunately they couldn't reach an agreement with the company that would allow them to keep the old videos up.
Janek and Adam, I am from Sydney, Australia. On my first European trip I went through Rome, Venice, Vienna and then Prague and I thought that these cities are a different and a very pleasant experience. It wasn't until I got to Prague I realised that a big part of the reason is that there was no, or little high rise construction which gives a claustrophobic feel and blocks sunshine (as in Sydney). This might not be immediately obvious to visitors but I know which I prefer. May you keep your charming historic buildings forever. I'll be back when international flight allows it. Cheers from the Polish Kangaroo. BTW the kangaroo at Prague Zoo needs warm gloves during cold weather. Can you knit gloves?.
The best guide in Prague!! 🤩
I always look forward to rainy days in Prague because those are the days I explore the passages.
Thank you Adam! That was so interesting!
Sweet! I've been looking forward to seeing this.
Thanks again Janek and Honza. Keep them coming!
My favorite episode of your entire series. Such a wonderful, informed guide to all the places I've missed on 5 prior visits!
it will be a historical day when you two hit 1 million!!
Another reason to head back to Prague.
Thanks for your videos, Janek.I took a gamble and booked a trip to Prague in December for Christmas, hopefully everywhere will be more open by then!
I used to dislike Wenceslas Square, but since I started working in one of the buildings, I slowly fell in love. It's a really interesting part of the city.
Great episode. I love it when the focus is on Prague and its hidden gems.
your friend who doesnt act like your friend is back :)
???
Adam thank you for your insight.so interesting,I love to hear your description.x
Adam Gebrian is awesome! Thank you for this. I will most definately visit those places.
Adam Gebrian is really doing his best to stay positive in this video. He covered the Prague passageways in one of his videos, and there he was quite vocal about the shitty condition they're in nowadays. :)
This was SO interesting!
Awesome Janek, this is what we come here for. Congrats on the new episode!
"There are no dead ends in Prague" is a great quote which I will use again
Oohh. I have been to Prague 3 years ago. You should have posted the video 3 years ago
First time I went to Prague, I vaguely remember going to Lucerna for a dinner and then to an 80’s rock bar!
I've been to the «Kino Lucerna» (watching the «Last Christmas» film). I can't wait to return to marvellous Prague.
You should do a "Falcon and Winter Soldier" special, since it was filmed in a lot of interesting places in Prague.
one of best your best episodes guys! Just beautiful
This was surprisingly entertaining. Would love to see more with Adam. Its like we're all levelling up with are Prague knowledge.
Brilliant. Thanks a lot.
Love all your videos. Thank you
Yay! Adam is back!
Awesome Sir❤🔥😍😍
this is the best
What amazing places! Thanks for pointing these out. I'll have to find them next time I'm in Prague.
Dont take the vaccine dude
Thank you very much for showing and sharing these places and their quality.
Normal people;: wow what a beautiful place!
Architects:.. analyzing lighting, activities and atmosphere 😂 "me architect and like doing this:
Adam please laugh at Janek's jokes :D lolll
Finally second episode with Adam!
Love this and I need to explore more open doorways/passageways. Always scare it might be private property but when I do enter, the discoveries have been nice.
I like Adams sense of style 😎
Lovely video. Can't wait to visit Prague again.
What an interesting episode!
Great video. We have been in the first and the third one (Lucerna). We love you city and we hope to come back ASAP!!! Stay safe!
What a great video!
Great stuff!
thanks to Adam for his insights!
Thanks for another great video. Certainly the next time I visit Prague, I will see it with new eyes. I will pay attention to the details that this video brings us, among others, that I have not seen in the previous 6 times that I have been in Prague
I love photographing alleyways and tunnels, bridges and stairwells etc. Anything where there's light/dark contrast and linear shapes.Very cool. I've spotted some great photo opportunities in this video.
Cool places. Thx ♥
Super episode
I love Prague.
I love Brno! I know it' not about the video, but I just wanted to express my love to Brno
Gentlemen, thank you so much for this video 👏
Wonderful :)
STEPANSKA Passage is a marvel.
Cool. Dead last!!!! “Clock or Glock?” Always interesting videos.
Waiting for your video
Znojmos Tunnels were very interesting, the Castle,a Jihomoravské (Südmährer/South Moravia) Museum and the Christmas Market and a cool view if you go up the hill and look down the Thaya.
Super nice
There's a paternoster lift at the Luerna passage. It was the one I visited as the City Hall was closed on that day. It's in a closed building though.I was lucky someone was leaving and let me in.
The moment I saw Prague explained by some architect, I knew it will be Adam G. :D I just knew that he is the kind of guy that would work with Janek.
Also Adam looks so slick and stylish.
I wish you lived in every country so you could have an honest guide for everywhere lol!
underground theaters? thats interesting! Cinemas in Singapore are often on the top floor
I've been in the Lucerna, but didn't realise there was a paternoster! - I'd have loved to use it.
The street in the packs is the largest hidden place in the whole of Prague 🚏 whoever enters it will never go crazy 😀
Where's the formula 1 video? 👀 Haha good video tho! Prague is full of secrets really, I can't wait to go there once traveling is possible.
Its good video you its nice jste skvělí
@4:53 golden words!!!!!!!!!!!! should learn each city...
And a Czech word: Pasaj. Very cool. (I learned it from a prior episode about the Pasaj (passages). )
@Daik. Ch Thank you for the correction.
When people say
Im first
Im last
The problem is nobody asked!!
nobody asked for your opinion either.. ironic.
@@jerrynovotnik that is ironic
@honestguide Hi, can you do a video on 5 of the most common apartment building design in Prague please? Thanks!
First time I was too amazed by the beauty what was seen out in the streets of Prague, next time I will definately look inside of buildings too.
But I did intentionally searched that Metal Shop what was inside one of the houses you showed. It wasn't very inviting indeed to step in the darkness. :D Ended up walking all nearby streets too, just in case I missed it and my map has it wrong, before ended up again on the same spot and decided to enter that dark vortexy hallway at minute 2:48. 😄Now I know..Next time will be more brave to step into a bit odd looking dark places. haha
❤️❤️
Can’t believe you guys did do the Grand Ballroom of the Grand Hotel Bohemia!
nice
Janek,.Congratulations (I hope you read it). You both (Janek & Honza (+?)) are way much better in this Chapter of your Channel. btw: Thanks to Mr. Gebrian.
This theatre in the beginning is notoriously hated by stagehands And people having to move the set pieces there. Long stairs Down, long distance to the stage itself. This has Its roots in fact that This Area used to be a cinema And it has been reconstructed as a theatre. So there Is not sufficient infrastructure to store sets there And no elevator to move things to the ground level. And parking in neighboring streets Is adventure in itself for drivers carrying all stuff from external storage
Country's capital doesn't need a skyscarpers
Did you forget the map link? I really hope that everything is back open in August
I just searched for the names in the videos and found them all. They are very close together by Wenceslas
is there an equestrian episode with adam after this one?!
3:20 Very interesting. I have been many times in the restaurant next to it (really good and cheap food btw.) but never actually went in the passageway, first because it is dark and second because it always smelled of pee, very strongly. And this street had so many brothels so it was not really inviting for this kind of exploration.
PANR has tuned in.
Is Vytopna restaurant in Palace FENIX open now? You've just walked by in the beginning
Yey Adam is back. Big Daddy vibes, not gonna lie
In Romanian, lucerna is a type of plant, used for tea and medicine.
Do you know if there are any of these passage ways (Průchody) in České Budějovice?
"You might know this coffee place from our previous video" - Nope, denying all knowledge. Prove it ;) haha. Super excited to see all these new videos, with some detailing similar/same topics as those deleted videos you did.
Always found the Stepanska passage scary, stayed in the apartments upstairs a few time,and there was often druggies hanging about in there.
Walked through Lucerna many times didn't know that it was a piece of history
