Truly is as good as IG
Every city has beautiful parts and ugly parts
Oh I want to go there!
Those chimney cakes are not even Czech. They are from Hungary and even Czechs know it’s not traditional!
You want a pastry called Kolache from the bakery Kolacherie to have something traditional in Prague. My girlfriend is Czech and says her grandmother would make this pastry.
Mass tourism has totally ruined Prague.
Conheci Praga em 2022 e adorei. É uma cidade muito interessante 🇧🇷❤️
Prague is so beautiful, been there 5 times and going again in may 2024.
Prague was lucky in an odd way..in that in was occupied early just prior to WWII..and made into a German Protectorate. The Germans were not inclined to destroy it and the Allie’s ignored it because it was not seen as strategic..or housing a large Germany contingent….and it was seen as a victim of Hitlers rather than being complicit. That’s why it’s centuries old architectural splendor remained largely undamaged…while a 100 miles away, Dresden was completely destroyed during late allied bombing raids.
Stop recommending trdelník (the chimney cake). It is overpriced (usually around 8€ for a piece of dough) and not traditional nor Czech. Buy traditional pastries instead. If you need the chimney cake so desperately go to Budapest. It is traditional there and just for a fraction of the price.
Oh dear. Someone didn't do their research. Anyone who watches Prague's Honest Guide knows that Trdelník are not from that country at all!
The clock was not nearly as beautiful and colorful as expected 😂😂.
But the streets! Themselves were charming
nice sharing
Prague is beautiful ❤
Just OK. I remember the food being good
Are you normal? Trdelnik is not traditional czech dish, there is one of many traps on tourists.
Just a small comment: Trdelnik is not Prague's specialty. It is a Hungarian thing, but it was quite made in South Moravia and NW Slovakia since Turks got in here. Dunno why, people seem to enjoy it but it is definitely not a Czech thing.
Prague in reality is much more beautiful than on Instagram
ah, trdelnik, the old czech sweet traditional cousin. 😆
Charles bridge is empty in the morning hours by 10AM your are completely alone there. Trdelnik is not tradional Czech pastry, it is big tourist trap. You can get trdelnik in Hungary, Slovakia, Germany.
On my first visit in 1988 I had a 2-night stay and slept 4 hours. 😂 I just walked through the city and stopped from one bar to the other. Nice memory❤
