    If I am not on Instagram, can I still take photos? Just kidding! Thanks for the video.

    The dancing house is stunning modern architecture but its surprising how many people dont know about the Cyril and Methodius church and story it comes with (google it) considering its only around the corner It is definately worth taking a look af

    The best viewpoint in Prague is at the top of the Orloj tower in the Old Town. I was there in 1978, there was also an elevator that took me up. Today is Prague the best in Europa!

  • @gruncletim
    @gruncletim Před 10 měsíci +6

    My guess is a large group of tourists tried to see if they could pack the elevator, having more than one person in every opening at the same time, and simply overloaded it.

      @thalapeng Před 2 měsíci

      Nah, you cannot really break it this way, it is designed for much more load than can fit in. More likely is they activated emergency stop or something and maintenance just said it was broken, as they didnt want to come reset the elevator (and free people stuck between the floors) fifteen times a day.

    It still puzzles me every time I visit the Library, why would someone spend their time a queue to see that book sculpture…
    It’s a great sculpture but Prague is such a gorgeous city with so much more to offer.

    • @mypathtotravel
      @mypathtotravel Před 8 měsíci +1

      I feel the same, given many Instagrammers don't normally visit libraries anyway

    Tip included in the price..... outrageous, how dare they! Tipping is getting a little out of hand in Prague. The swans are now doing permanent "Home Office". 😀 Good on them.

    @RaulSelva Před 10 měsíci +7

    I did the Klementinum tour 9 years ago and it was the same, you could only see the library from the entrance (at the time, the shelves were empty as the books were under restoration or cleaning). The book tunnel in the Municipal Library was devoid of tourists except myself.

    Places to go and see in Prague is never ending😲! Especially the beautiful restaurants. Very sad to hear about those elevators though😥. The prices for drinks really aren't that unreasonable however being taken to another location to be served is a headscratcher but not unheard of!!! Every city has those areas of ill repute. Loved this video!!!🙏🌹👌

    Great video and agree with you totally, the dancing house is cool but that'it, look at it and move one somewhere nicer instead. As for the u Prince, its cool for one time but same there, once done, no need to go back really...

  • @CelticJewel
    @CelticJewel Před 5 měsíci +1

    I absolutely loved my first visit to Prague last month! I did visit a few of these spots but I wasn’t aware they were instagram famous😂 both Strahov and the Klementinum libraries were definitely a highlight, as well as the dancing house. Even though you haven’t included it, by far one of my favourite places was up in the Petrin hill, gardens area, with some of the best views of Prague.

  • @michaelliu2258
    @michaelliu2258 Před 10 měsíci +2

    Your sense of sarcastic humour 😂 make this vlog so charming. Actually you will make a great instagram photo too. The swans just left and and didn't back. And nobody asks why? 😂🤣😂🤣

    • @victoriaaletaaustria2817
      @victoriaaletaaustria2817 Před 6 měsíci +1

      I think because there wasn't any people for a long time, the swans could no longer have source of food there and so they just left thinking there's still no food OR those nutrias, vermin-looking animals could be predators eating them.

    The elevator we have in my office building as well, but not allowed to use it.
    I have seen the head rotation multiple times when I was walking by from the city to my hostel

    • @kingie66
      @kingie66 Před 7 měsíci

      That may be, but asking for it is not part of czech culture and would be considered rude. But they dont care about losing local customers, 9 million tourists make up for that.

  • @robinsebelova7103
    @robinsebelova7103 Před 10 měsíci +2

    As any trend on instagram, most of these location are tourist traps, or damaged by tourists. Have you seen the lawn before the dancing house? The people climbing on statue just because insta trend?!

    About the drinks: You really live in a different world if you hardly drink any alcohol at all. I was visiting popular tourists spots twice recently and was amazed at how many people were already drinking alcohol in the early afternoon or sometimes already in the morning. Not one glass to start the day, either, but glass after glass. Yes, that seems normal for people, to me, it just seemed weird. What are those people doing in the evening?!
    Maybe I am the weirdo, but I would order there sparkling water or a simple fruit juice.

    Thank you, one of the best yet. Speaking as pro photographer( visitng next week) perhaps they should reflect on why they want the photo and the impact they may have. Looks like distinctly boring, unoriginal photography to me , but i understand they are intresting places, but the photos are not.

    Hi Valery, in San Diego, California, a drink, even at the cheapest place is about $15.00! So the prices a U Prince at not that out of this world. And tip is almost always added.

      In Europe there is a decent wage even in the hospitality industry, personnel's financial existence does not depend on tips. All tips are just a gesture of thanks for great service, not an obligation.

    They could give (serve) something for "our" cash.
    For the animals maybe they are aware of laws just like the ducks cause they are anarchists.
    Maybe they are waiting in the other place,then the persons that told the people to not feed them will make the same thing again and then they will come back.
    They say that it's the best place for pictures,it’s looking like this or that there is not much others sites but I don't think so.

    To make a perfect pose, the photogrpaher should be giving cues because he/she is the one seeing the frsme. With your pose, you could have move back bit further to have your foot at the curve of the house with toes pointed as if hitting the building. But aside from these, your photo is fine.
