Prague's Dirty Secrets - The Truth about one of the Most Romantic Cities in Europe

- Hi guys!
In this video, we are going to share what Dirty Secrets Prague's streets hide. We feel, that sometimes Prague travelers see this city only as a superficially romantic destination with pretty houses, narrow streets, and cute cafes. While Prague is all of these things, it is also much more than that! Prague is a city with a rich and complex history, that saw wars, plague epidemics, occupations, but also victories, celebrations, and triumphs. Most importantly, Prague's history is comprised of peoples' life stories and we all know that nobody's life is perfect. So let's have a look at the side of Prague that normally gets swept under the 1000-year-old carpet. Let's see what Dirty Secrets Prague is hiding from us.
If you have any questions about Prague leave them in the comments and when you are in Prague sign up for a tour with us:

See you in our next video!

I’m not sure how you showed up on my feed, but you are a breath of fresh air. Totally adorable and entertaining. 😁
Thanks!!!
Love Prague. A jewel box of architecture and history
Nice work thank you Val.
Visited Prague in 2007, great city.
Prague is a fantastic and highly atmospheric city...and with an intriguing history with one aspect on brothels the presenter brilliantly articulated
Thank you for your nice comment and thanks for watching!
Excellent city tour of Prague. Valery was incredibly knowledgable and gave a fantastic insight of Prague. I learnt about history, art, culture and much more. Really enjoyed the trip- virtual CZcams. Valery was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about Prague and its history. Would definitely recommend and share with family and friends.
Thank you!
A very well done tour. I was in Prague about 10 years ago and love that city, it’s beautiful. Almost any city with a long history has some kind of shady past.
One of my favorite cities.
Enjoyed that. Excellent pronunciation too.
There's a great Lovejoy episode set in Prague from 1992. I watch it every Christmas.
This was definitely a different perspective on a beautiful, historic city! BTW well narrated.
Thank you!
This guide is my hero!!
I just discovered this channel and I am so happy I did! The guides are knowledgeable, the videos themselves are very informal and funny, but at the same time extremely informative. Prague and The Czech Republic is so beautiful. I hope you will soon go to areas outside of Prague to share the rest of historical and points of interests sites. Thank you again for this channel!!
Thank you for your comment! Happy you enjoyed our videos! Our today's video will be about Křivoklát 😉
Niech czeska kobieta zrobi program o Moskwie😛
I stayed in Prague for about two weeks in 2014, after working at the Sochi Paralympics. I was waiting on a new Russian Visa to go visit friends, so I was working through the Russian Bureaucracy and had to find a place I could stay while waiting for it. It turned out to be a really good choice, and one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. I wish I had taken the time to learn a bit more Czech, but I got by with English, Russian, and German. Excellent presentation!
Thank you! Czech is not easy but if you know German and Russian then you would be able to say some Czech words already. Some Czech words come from German, like "auto" and some Czech words are similar to Russian, other than that Czech has a lot of unique sounds, the biggest obstacle for foreigners who live here. Try "ř" at home :)
@@RealPragueGuides I agree, it is difficult, and I did (fortunately) run into some Russian and German speakers. I was able to say, "Mluvite angliski?, "Mluvite Russki", Ne mluvim Czeski", and Dekuji" (I'm sure I'm butchering the spelling, but they understood me). I made the mistake of telling a man who approached me "Не говорю по-ческий" only to have him say "Хорошо! Мы говорим по-русский!". He said "see you later (до встречи) then came back the next day. He turned out to be a con-man and I had a tough time getting rid of him.
What made you learn russian and german?
I love the historical culture there indeed and amazing architecture
Nice profile pic 👍.
Only made to look old but relatively new
I have been to Prague many times & its wounderful in every season. One of my most favourite city in Europe. I am planning to visit it again as soon as the border with Austria opens. March 2020 is a distant memory now.
Can you please tell about Czech hareem
@@katakamvenkatesh8232 What do you want to ask about harem?
I really appriciate her style, continue to do this interesting work.
Thank you!
Informative, I appreciate, the way you narrate a negative side of history of Prague. My favourite city.
Ha, this video was posted on my birthday 14 november. But that aside. Very nice. I discovered your channel because your Heydrich-video, but this one is also very sublime. The past of prostitution in Prague is what it has been in The Netherlands for a long time, until it was legalized. A really progressive city for that time! How nice that you make a tour with interesting stories about it. Very wel done Valerie! And the little link to Freud was fantastic!
fascinating & excellent presentation and history lesson, Awesome!
Thanks!
Was there 5 years ago for just a week ! Surprised to see how busy it was made an effort to get up early to walk around before the armies of tourist showed up ! Will go again.
My Grandfather left Prague just prior to WW1. When I was in Europe it was the late seventies and it was frown upon to cross the border. Always wanted to visit Czechoslovakia, now if I go it will be the Czech Republic. i really would like to see where my family is from. Thanks Valery for the tour.

Prague 😍 it doesn't sell love, it just makes you fall in love at first sight:)
2019 December. I had a wonderful week in Prague. Hi, Valery.
This is a very charming city, I hope I can visit again sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
I must say, this was very enlightening! Very good facts! Fascinating!!
Prague still looks quite fascinating and worth a visit.
Nesouhlasím! Amsterdam je lepší !!!!!
This video was just suggested to me and I am happy that i watched it! Your dark/dry humored jokes had me laughing so hard I was crying!!! from the poor cities and couples with shared accounts to the techno music LMFAO!!! Prague is still the number one city on my "to visit" list....hopefully I can come over there before too long and I would love to have a tour from you!!! Cheers from Hannover!
Thanks Eric! Happy you liked the video and enjoyed my humour (even though I made a joke about Germans :D). Anyways, we run tours every day and will be happy to have you! You can book on www.tours-prague.eu.
See you one day in Prague! 😎
@@RealPragueGuides I am American living in Germany....I laughed so hard at that joke!! My girlfriend asked "people think we are kinky?" And I said yes it's one of the biggest stereotypes!!
Interesting, enlightening, humorous, and entertaining. You are great. I have always wanted to visit Prague because of Franz Kafka, but now i also want to visit the areas you visited in your video. Great video.
Thank you! Prague is great you will love it here. And regarding Franz Kafka...stay tuned 😊
U r really informative, and The same time, u express a dark n funny sense of humor. Hope u do more content, i think u might be a rising star. 👍
Haha! Thank you! Hopefully not big enough star to be targeted by Czech tabloids :D
@@RealPragueGuides no experience from tabloids there. But il take ur word on it. Ive been to prague on numerous golf trips. Was going last year too but a certain virus put a hold on it. If I come again il try to convince my friends for at tour with u. Stay healthy n safe. 😊
@@Fsegment1Test Thank you! Will be happy to have you on our tour! You stay safe and healthy as well!
It's real Good find a guide like you girl
THanks for that historic explanation

Thanks!
super video, nevěděl jsem, že Praha má takovouhle historii :D
Děkujeme!
Loved this !!
I will visit this summer.. lovely place
Great presentation, you're doing a great job at keeping the video interesting by providing fun facts and stories about Prague. Thank you, can't wait to go back!
Thanks! 😎
@@RealPragueGuides
I have only been to Paris and Germany.
I would like to know if it is a safe place to visit in Prague?
The footage about Prague was very interesting
How much would it cost for a decent hotel for a weekend visit?
Do the working Girls, have a tough time with pimps ?
Or, do they have a premises where they sell sex in a Business way
Do they have licenced clubs ( brothels) like many parts of Germany
👍📷
Incredible! It just goes to show we know very little about the darkside of our cities.Well done!
I like your honesty. Keep going with this kind of videos
Thank you!
Awesome presentation
to an interesting topic thumbs up, keep up the good work love from tunisia .
Valery you qualify for the free tour!
Amazing English (with a sexy accent) and a tour delivered with wit and personality. Definitely coming to visit when things get back to normal.
Russian accent!!
@@AT-kx6fj Agreed, she aint Czech
Well done very informative & classy !
Thank you!
Watched every video. Good luck! Will definitely hire them when/if I get to Prague!
Great content
Thank you!
@@RealPragueGuides Abdi is damn right ... a very unique content of yours !!!!
Nice video! I hope the situation will get better for you guys and tourists will come back... It is too quiet without them in Prague. 🙂
Thank you! We also hope so!
@@RealPragueGuides can I ask you what is the current situation in Prague? Is it open, is it close? Are tourist coming?
@@estebanmunoz7486 Hello Esteban. Since today hotels are opened for tourism again. But you need to do show a vaccination certificate or PCR test which is not older than 48 hours.
I visited Prague after it opened up in the early 90's. I still remember the Karlovy Most, Hotel Europa, and there was even a K-Mart having a blue light special.
If You mean hotel Evropa in Evropska street, so that one is gone. Demolitioned by multimilioner and white horse of "switched"comunist Klaus...
Enjoyed your video Valery, Great presentation
Thanksss
can't wait to visit Prague this summer
It's a great city with a very rich history and amazing 🍻. You will love it here!
@@RealPragueGuides you guys do walking tours right.
@@FreddTocho yes we do. Check out our website www.tours-prague.eu
You better hurry up before it's teeming with tourists again.
Prague’s amazing! It avoided WW2 bombing, so the magnificent historic architecture was preserved. Great food, and so many restaurants make their own beer which was of the highest quality I’ve ever experienced. It’s still relatively cheap there. Great live music too ... I’m referring to classical.
This will definitely attract more high quality tourists to Prague...
Lovely city and gentle Rnr Lady, Děkuji.
Great job on this!
I remember Prague as a beautiful city on my only visit there in 1996.
I remember my visit in 1978 :)
You have a very nice style of presenting, Valerie! You're a real talent👍
techno music?
SLAP!!!
Thanks , very informabeautyfull.
Prague is the most beautiful and historical city in Europe, IMHO. We had a wonderful guide but she only gave us the PG-rated tour around the city. She never mentioned about the "Dirty Secrets". Thanks for sharing.
We've made it. Morpheus commented! Now we can live the rest of our life in peace...
Btw. We will take the red pill
I have been to Prague 4 times and have always felt something special about the place and its people. Looking forward to my 5 visit when Australian's can travel over sea again.
We miss Australians and their thongs! 😎
@@IAmLookingForwardToDeath Australia is a good safe place to live we just can not travel over seas without a good reason due to Covid broader closer.
I like your channel. I also heard stories where women ( mothers) were prostitution out there young children ( like blue curtains meant young boys & red curtains meant young girls) as the only way poor families could survive. I don't remember the street name but the woman that gave the tour documentary showed the buildings. This was back a few years ago. I have never been to Prague. I assume child prostitution was popular and was Not really spoken of, kinda of like hushed up.
Thanks for sharing, of all those places that u featured, which brothel still open? Thanks!
Great and very informative video. Visited Prague some 10 years ago with my ex and loved it. Maybe it is time to visit it again. Alone.
I’ve been to Prague, I loved it, beautiful city. When I return I will look up Real Prague Guides. It looks like you have got some interesting tours.
Hey, thanks. Our guiding company is actually called 100 Spires City Tours :), that's how you can find us (youtube channel we wanted to name less complicated)
"Had been to"
@@Feeling877 No, he is correct in his use of the Present Perfect tense, because it is clear that he has the intention of returning to Prague sometime soon, so there is a connection to the present. As a native speaker I can reliably inform you that we usually use either Present Perfect or Simple Past ( I was) in this type of context.
I recently saw this young woman's video about the events surrounding the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich and was very impressed with the way she presented the subject manner. In this video, I am also impressed with her style, but this time, with the sense of whimsy and humor she brings to the subject. I also work in the tour industry in the United States and I compliment her on her knowledge and presentation.
Thank you! Wish you all the best in USA!
Peace to Reinhard Heidrich... ❤
No answers yet for your question at the end " if you know what we are talking about "?..? Can you break the mystery now 😀..!!.. Excellent presentation, loved your style, humour and of course your looks ... looking forward to more such tours to your lovely city .
Love the video!!!.....thank you for the education, best wishes from the states.....very beautiful aswell.
Now this young lady - finally has some really useful information.
Finally? What do you bring to the table if I might ask?
@@mcpuffenstuff6213 You may not.
Beautiful and intellectual....great combination ! Love the information provided. Love history and appreciate the twist !Will have a different view when I visit.
Thank you! Happy you liked the video!
I enjoyed your video and humour.
Thank you.
Would be interesting og you can do moře about thé Real History of Prague.
There's noone doing that.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! We'll definitely make videos on different historical topics.
I particularly liked the creative "breakaways" you did here. Suggest you do more of them as you are very imaginative-creative, and they keep the video lively. Kudos.
Thank you!!! ♥
: X
The brothels are still there in Prague just in the different locations from way before and the Germans were coming there in generations.It's a bit slow now as Slovakia took an advantage due to cheap prices...
Thanks for the update. Very informative comment. Looks like we should all be turning our attention to Slovakia. I suppose you are referring to Bratislava ?
@@IAmLookingForwardToDeath Indeed!
Got it, number one attraction in Praque, brothels. Hope one is open when I visit
Maybe that is a topic for another video.
Best brothels to visit in Praque
That's nothing. Check out neighboring Brno.
Google "OWK Brno." But not at work!
Fantastic presentation. Entertaining!
Love the presentation 👍🏻
I only went for the architecture and the history. It was the wife who actually wanted to go there.. never realised it was talked about in the same vein as Paris or Rome for "Romance". Is that why the Ape has huge golden balls? ;-)
I went to the Brutal Assault Fest 2011. Had a great time in Jaromer.
🤘🎸 🇨🇿
Love this video. It was informative and entertaining. I just subscribed and liked.
Thank you very much!
I'm coming to Czech in two weeks my wife is Czech and I agree with the previous comment, can't wait to be there
The slap was nice 🤣
Glad you liked it 👌
Prague's has dirty secret( who cares?)
But it has the beautiful architecture and spotless streets.
I am from India and always have a fascination to visit Prague during the time of snow fall.
pubjee mobayl
as i guy livin in prague... thanks mate appreciate it
Love your sense of humour... Talking of brothels....during the 50s, my dad was stationed at Baden Baden (British Army)he was listening in to Soviet Pilots. The best information my dad got was addresses of the best brothels in Berlin🤣
😅 As expected.
I would consider myself fortunate if I had a tour guide as knowledgeable and witty as you. Good luck !
Thank you! 😎
It's interesting to me that I felt this attraction to Prague from an early age. Then I learned later that my family tree has strong ties to the place. I mean look at the place!
Thank you for your excellent video
2:17 When she started running away from the police, Borat just appeared in front of my eyes with that famous question: "niiiiice, how much?" xD
Wa wa wee wa!
I'm now subscribing to your channel girl. I'm pretty enjoying your vlog. It's something different and interesting. Love and respect from the Philippines.
Thank you! Happy you like the vlog😊
This is a very engaging video...you are adorable, the topic is interesting, and your sense of humor is great. Please keep it up, you are talented. I subscribed.
Thank you!
Prague is definitely worth czeching out!
See what you did there...very good
How can you Czech out something? I don't get it.
You can visit part of Warsaw called Prague, much closer, also many prostitutes.
Good job you guys!
This is hilarious!
Interesting content, great presentation and a girl with a great sense of humour !!
Thank you!
This guide is awesome
Nice video madam, nice explanation.... Good, keep it up.... You are a Good Tourist Guide .. ..

Nice job thank you for info.
Thanks for watching!!
Ciao Valery :o)
You picked up such an interesting topic, about your beautiful Czech city of Praque !!!!
Actually, it was a very good one ... showing Praque from kinda different perspective !!
Greetings from Warszawa :o)
Thanks! 😎 Warsaw is a great city! Spent there a weekend, did two different tours, fed squirrels in a park and saw the Warsaw uprising museum.
Thanks for watching!
@@RealPragueGuides *.... I 've never been in Prague. Once, during the time of communism in our countries, I visited Bratislava for a week with my rock-band. Definitely, Prague & Budapest they are both on my list to visit, when I am gonna be back to Warszawa. Funny thing is.... that I was raised in Warszawa on the right side of the Wisla River, in the district called PRAGA, where the cinema-theater PRAHA is still located up for today !!!! No kidding !!!! I lived there a half of my life !!!! :o) Special greetings to you dear Valery. Personally, I adore you for your intellect and also for your multilingualism - I mean it !!!! Sincerely yours ...* Das~Boot
@@dasboot5903 thank you! We actually visited Praga in Warszawa! If I remember correctly it is one of the few places in Warszawa that survived the air-raids and it's where they shot Pianist. Czechia and Poland have a lot in common. Polish humour is fantastic!
