Searching for travel advice is the worst nowadays since no matter the platform, it's so saturated with videos from influencers doing an "ultimate guide to [place] in 2023!" video and then it turns out to just be a glorified vlog of them just visiting all the top attractions on Tripadvisor and regurgitating everything they've been told about it uncritically. I wish every city had someone like you guys.

He just laughed and said I can come in but it's shit inside, only full of American and British tourists, and he only told me this because I spoke Czech. We decided to hit a local pub instead (which was my suggestion from the beginning) which was far more enjoyable.

They're not worse than the earlier generation, they're just kids sharing their misconceptions. They saw a lot of absinthe stores, so there's a lot of absinthe stores. The square looked pretty big and they've never seen a town square before, so they thought it might be one of the biggest. I feel like young travellers have been making these errors forever. What's new is that in 1925, the twenty-year-olds getting lied to and having these misconceptions based on limited information were only writing their misinformation home to their family and friends, not making videos for the whole world to see.

Many years ago, I went to Prague with my girlfriend. This was long before you could use the Internet on your phone. Fortunately, the guy who worked at the hotel reception where we stayed was a cool young guy, so we asked him what to see, where to go, what to do in Prague and he recommended some cool places including a small restaurant with no tourists (except for us, I guess). It was so good and so affordable! He also told us about the Astronomical Clock but he said "Everyone loves it but to be honest, I don't know why". We went to see it and there was indeed a big crowd standing there, waiting for something to happen... Then the little animation happened and we looked at each other and laughed, thinking about what the hotel guy told us about it. Many, many years later, I found out about this KZitem channel and around 3 years ago, I watched your video explaining the Astronomical Clock and how to read it.

Great story about the beer: Kid goes into a bar and asks for a beer. The bartender says, "Aren't you sort of young for that, my man, wouldn't it be better for you to have water instead?" Kid says "I don't have enough money for water; I only have enough for a beer." My Czech friend told me that the government made some adjustment to the tax structure to fix that. Czechs say that all mushrooms are edible. Sometimes just once. A Czech expression to say that two things are complete opposites is "Like heaven and the bagpipe." It's not true that you even have to pay to use the bathroom if you exercise some awareness of where you are. Business establishments generally don't charge. Also, some pay stations don't take cards. I guess I was at the Brno train station and the particular pay station where I was didn't take cards and I didn't have any coins, so I went back to where my wife was to get a coin from her. 6:08-6:10: Janek is mistaken here. The deathtrap Janek mentions is outside the city of Prague. Everything in the universe is either in Prague or outside of Prague. I have a true hidden gem. I booked one night in a serviced apartment which has the balcony where where Dubcek and Havel announced the end of communism in Czechoslovakia. I took my Czech friend there, without telling her where we were and took her onto the balcony. I made some remarks about how Havel walked out onto the balcony and addressed the crowd. Then I said "This balcony" and gave her one of the greatest moments of her life.

Water bottle in legit grocery shop can be as low as 0,2€ for a store brand or around 1€ for a name brand. The tourist traps Janek shown in the video can charge around 4€ for a single water bottle. In restaurants the government had to actually pass a law a few years back that they need to offer at least one non-alcoholic drink cheaper than a beer. And then it depends if the restaurant is a tourist one, local one or high-class one, but I'd say around 3€ for a 1l water carafe with lemon/fruits in mid-tier local restaurant.

So if traveling in Germany: make sure you have plenty of euro's for things like restaurants, toilets. It's getting better, but Czechia is definitely a lot more card friendly. In Czechia it used to be: pin a lot on the first day of the holiday and pay everything in Czech crown, but now you can pay with almost any card at any shop.

In Czech Republic use own money how is not used at neighbor countries nor it is a strong money too. Then lives there only around 11 mio. people in this country - this 1/3 of people how vist Germany yearly as tourists! It is a good idea to use then digital money right? I self as German how like to travel and know that cards accepted in most countries is not the problem that you just use coins for this and that - it is more that *this is the once option* ! I just prefer service and restaurants what accept my idiotic card - and this more as McDonalds and KFC! Just ask if you go in - answer no mean a loud and hate "Okay, I want eat here after I read so many about your good food - but I not have 40€ in coins with me.

Being an extroverted person, i wanted to be friendly. And what it got me was a screaming tantrum of a grown man who was insulting me and threw a drink in my face. I guess now that it was because i dared to ask him something and he thought i was onto him. Still got overcharged. I contemplated calling the police, however my friend was scared and just wanted to leave so I just decided to never look back again. I just left a really bad review on google. It really helps to have a local point out how scammy it is. Keep up the good work!

When I went to Prague to Prague in 1990, it was stunning and safe and great. I went again in 2009 and it was awful. It's been taken over by criminals. Russian mafia I guess. My partner was drugged in a bar and I managed to get us out but it was scary stuff.

Something you gotta understand about western tourist. There's a saying "100 years is a long time for NA and 100 miles is a long distance for EU". Saying the quarry is 26km from Prauge means it's basically in Prague.

something YOU have to get about Western is that most of the information you have on the planet (tourism as such included) got just available due to West. And you are also wrong about distances. There are in general differences between people in metropole areas as well as for instance in the US or most parts of Europe (btw. both are of similar size, it depends on where you are in Europe) etc. ... and because you like obviously more stereotypes than knowledge: its more people in the West who travel long distances and actually spread the idea of wandering/travel around in the first place. You had in the history of mankind travelers but no travel culture (which is a more modern phenomenon, because you need a certain wealth for that - plus developing this idea culturally). And regarding distances: as said, one in a small town is used to different distances (small ones within the town, longer ones if one uses a car to drive to next cities) than in a big city (other associations of distances depending on the public transit, traffic etc.) - or if you are in a sprawling suburb like city (like LA) or more compact one etc.

@@publicminx I am quite literally a historian lol. I’m aware Europe has longer travel distances in more rural areas but it still doesn’t compare to the west. I have to drive 8h to visit my family and we live in the same province. I don’t think YOU understand the distances we regularly travel. And long distance travel has nothing to do with wealth and more modern technology and large scale highway production over the past 50-60 years. Long distance travel in the west is relatively cheap due to our ability to have cheaper methods of sleep/accommodation.

By the way thank you so much Janek, I've been in Prague in November and it surely is the most beautiful (in the very sense of the word) city I've visited in my life so far, your guides were super helpful

I have not traveled in a while because of health issues but I used to travel a lot and my biggest tip is to not use the internet for recommendations. Sure read up on the city, the trouble you can get in, local customs etc. but then just ask locals. Look for places that are not full of tourists but locals and talk to people. Don't be an asshole, be nice and you will get some great recommendations.

That's 100% how that would go here in North America - you'd just see people going "well fk it, I'll just do my business like the animals do" or else hold it till they get home, laws about public indecency and exposure/elimitating be damned.

You just choose a couple of tiktok that said things moderately incorrect (sometimes even for wow effect, like the one "bathing on beer", which even a five year old can tell is not beer by looking at it) and you hate on them for no good reason we face people spewing wrong information about more serious impactful topics everyday and I doubt you go out of your way to prevent that false information from spreading

I worked as a marketing content writer for a travel company, so I was always researching our destinations for things to write about. I found that bloggers would just copy each other's lists without fact checking, like "Top 10 interesting facts about [country]". They would use a lot of superlatives, like a country would have the most whatever, or be the only country in the world to have something. A simple 10-second Google search would easily disprove half the claims they listed.
