    Old Town Astrological clock is the oldes in Europe. In the past each europian city had one but this one is the only one remaining from those times, that´s why it is so unique. Maybe there is too much hype about it, but knowing its background certainly helps to appreciate it :)

    At 14:08, that "funky building" is called Fred and Ginger after the movie dancing couple of the 1930s, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

    Im happy you had a great time in Prague! I wish i could guide you through! There is much more beautiful towns and cities in Czech Republic. I wish i could live in my home country I’m missing it so so much! 😭 Unfortunately my partner is British and i find UK very dirty country even though its not the worst. I have to say Czech ppl often don’t realise how beautiful our country is until they try to live somewhere else or at least that was my case.

    The astronomical clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still operating that’s why such a crowd waiting for it ;-))

    It's so funny watching you talk about the czech money :D (it's czech crown actually) I really liked this vlog, hope you had a great time in Prague :))
    P.S.: Prague is actually quite expensive for the Czech, other cities are much cheaper :)

    Quick thoughts from someone who lived in Praha for nearly a year: 1) Go to banks to get Czech currency (Ceska Koruna, or Czech Crowns) as you get exactly the amount you want and the fees are minimal. ATM's usually charge higher fees (either there or by your bank back home for using a foreign ATM). Any shop that says "Change" or "Smenarna" should be avoided at all cost (literally) as they charge the highest exchange fees. 2) Even though food is generally inexpensive, many restaurants will charge you for each piece of bread you eat from the bread bowl (yes, they count before and after). Also, drinks can often cost 50% as much as the entree, so bring your own drink to save or skip the drink until after, as it's much cheaper at Albert or some other grocery store. 3) Detsky Ostrov means "Childrens' Island". 4) The Astrological Clock is historic, but also pretty lame. For some reason, it draws massive crowds. Just look at it if you're there, but it's not worth waiting around for the "show".

    It's cool watching your first videos. It's a beautiful country, and when you leave the city, and go to surrounding cities we had a feast for 4 people for $3.50 in 2004. I wonder how more expensive it got. I hope to come back there one day and explore more. Beautiful country.

    - The domed ceiling was not of cave, but of a stone brick cellar. Possibly old wine cellar.
    - Better view on Prague is from Petřín watchtower (wich is a smaller coppy of Eifell tower, but build on top of a hill, therefore in higher possition and wider view.)
    - Food in the center is generaly pricier, than in the rest of the city. 4USD soup is an outrage. Good price is 1 USD, usual price is about 2 USD.

    Money goes far, right :) The name of US currency comes from CZ (Bohemia). In middle ages we used currency called Tolar and the Dutch traders brought the name to America with a slight change in pronounciation. Now we use Crowns and US people use Dollars :) Funny.

    Btw that “funky house” is called Dancing House or Fred and Ginger but because those two were i think American dancers and i do not think Czech ppl like it we call it just Dancing House (Tančící dům) xD We are kind of patriotic country. So architects didn’t use Fred and Ginger as the only given name of the building. My History of Art teacher likes this building very much and so do I. 😊

  • @ashbammerlin
    @ashbammerlin Před 8 lety +7

    I remember reading a poll where people considered the clock one of the most disappointing tourist attractions in the world, haha! Now I really regret that I didn't go up in the tower, what a gorgeous view!

    • @zarquondam
      @zarquondam Před 5 lety +1

      I don't know why people find the clock disappointing. I found it delightful. But then, I knew what to expect.
      Btw, the view from Prague Castle is better than the view from the Tower.

    • @qwe5qwe566
      @qwe5qwe566 Před 5 lety +7

      it is one of the oldest clock of this type. It is a piece of art and history not disneyland with fireworks.

    • @marekj1100
      @marekj1100 Před 5 lety +1

      Reportedly the oldest still working. It shows quite a lot, but it’s hard to decipher without description.
      In Middle Ages, it had to be crafted all mechanical what today would be done using a computer.
