10 Prague Monuments That Moved CZECH NATION...or were REMOVED 

Ha, there's only one Valeri ! Real Prague Guides history teacher that makes you smile :)

Valerie mentions some people have been banned from the channel. Maybe thats why the comments section has been alot more positive in the past weeks.? There were some ridiculous comments here, aggressive too and had nothing to do with the content.. Annoying to my peaceful and curious mind.. Great vid as always, keep it up gang.. Cheers.

Great thorough history lessons Valeri. Very professionally done! Keep up the great work!

Nice, informative video! I'll be in Prague again finally next week, maybe I'll run into you while you are shooting your next clip. Greetings from Potsdupím/Německo

Thanks again, Valerie! I really enjoyed your historical perspective. Very well done. Thanks!

I should have seen a vídeo like this before visiting Prague back in November 2019.... I hope I can revisit it some day...

Thanks for the wonderful videos... I love your country and architecture & the wonderful information... Australia is only 200 years old, I can't wait to visit Prague, asap... Cheers.. 😊❤️

So much history …so little time here .. i learned so much .. the best part .. i saw it w my own eyes ! Thanks Valerie ! ( now i wrote it correctly)

A perfect blend of informative and entertaining. Well done Real Prague Guides.

I love your videos, they are so entertaining!!

Valerie, thank you for sharing...you are an excellent history teacher....keep on teaching!

Ahoj Valery, I was back in school for fifteen minutes on Czech history, good video and footage, I like the last one being blasted apart.

Excellent video Valeri! Very informative :)

Getting ready to come to Prague in a few months and found your videos. Great information and funny!

I am not sure whether I fell in love with Prague..but surely I can say I fell in love with Valerie's narration ..She is so funny and informative too..keep up ur good work Valeri..by one of your fan

Great video! I first spotted the Metronome from a boat ride on the Vltava River. Being a musician, and having practiced the piano for decades with a metronome, I was naturally curious about this big machine. I decided to try to find it one day. I had no idea exactly where it is, so I climbed all the way up the steep Nerudova (street) to Úvoz to Pohořelec (streets) in the Malá Strana. But all that’s up there is the Strahovský Klášter. From the river, the Metronome looks like it’s not far from the big observation tower, but that’s not the case. Actually, it’s easy to get to the Metronome. From the Old Town Square, just walk through Pařízská street to the Čechův Most (bridge). The Metronome is high on the hill across the river. It’s a good climb up the stone stairways, but the panoramic view of the city below is one of the best to be had. The surrounding Letná park is spacious and good for a relaxing walk. There’s also the café/restaurant Hanavsky in an ornate building with an outdoor terrace where I enjoyed a serving of duck paté with cranberry sauce, toast, and Earl Gray tea for a little elegance to accompany the scenery! Thanks for confirming for me that the Metronome was what replaced the huge, ugly statue built during the times of Soviet domination. I learned about the Stalin statue and its ultimate destruction during a visit to the Museum of Communism, but I didn’t understand that it was located on the spot where the Metronome now stands. The Metronome is much more pleasant!

Great job, loved learning about the history!

Valeri...so pretty... the tour is always very informative.

welove your videos you guys are very informative

Thank you for all informations.

Just found ur channel when I was younger I lived in Madrid before moving back to Florida 35 years later have always loved European history and would love to come back to Europe & do complete tour & see the good & bad parts of history

I discovered your videos 2 weeks ago, as I plan my trip to Prague, and through your videos I am falling in love with the Czech Republic 😊 I.m learning so much about the history, what to see, what to avoid…and places to go outside of Prague. Also, your videos are very interesting, historical and funny with your sarcasm-or pure honesty. You and your team doing this videos do an AAMAAAAAAZING job …….Thank you so much.

it does my heart good to see that romance is alive and well and prospering in your city! awwwww!

There is the first equestrian statue of St Wenceslas from the Baroque era, which was removed from Wenceslas Square. A replica is now in Vysehrad, while the original is in the Lapidarium.

Now I know about some of the monuments I saw a few years ago on holiday and also learnt about some new ones. From a historical and tourist viewpoint the massive Stalin monument would have added to the tourist experience. I never knew about it.

Great, awesome inspiring stuff, Valeri! Thanks so much. We're preparing to visit Prague for the first time ever in May this year, and your videos have piqued our interest and excitement. 👍 We're Australians 😄

Great presentation 👍 👍 👍!!!

So interesting and funny, I laughed out loud :D

I love Prague, good memories. The opening shot here of standing at the entrance to the museum at the top of Wenceslas Square... I remember 1995 I met a Polish beauty pageant winner and we walked around Prague for the afternoon and ended up here.. (BTW The pageant winner, her name was Isabelle and her mum was a dentist in Poland, if you know her let me know)

Valeri jak Vám mohla vypadnout největší jezdecká socha v Evropě - Žižka na Vítkově ? 8)

Wow, ... you know your stuff ... I was terrible in history, but you make it so easy and full of facts ... Thanks ....

Only one Valeri that counts 👍🏻That’s you,you are the best‼️😎👍🏻

Vsehrad Park. Having Polish sausages and beer at a small stand each Wednesday right in front of Drorak's grave. A memory I will never forget since I admire his music very much.

You do a great JOB ‼️👍🏻😎🙃🎃🙂👌🏻

My mother’s name is Valeria. It’s a shame that there is no monument to captain Pavlik in Prague.

I'm in a classroom wachting this video. Thanks again, dear.

How many Valeries? Hmmm, thought I'd check some estimates by scrolling down below, but found none.... so, reverting to my first thought, only one that matters. You're a great guide!

I live a few kilometers from place, where the Prague Castle obelisk was made.

Great video as always, very informative. That map at 5:27, tut tut tut. England is not the same as Great Britain!!!

Oh my dear valery wonderful you can not amagine nor calculate that how much I love you in these days I have no work after my office hours accept to see your previous videos I read all the history of WW1 and WW2 in detail this is the main reason that I want to visit Czech republic

I love the guy at the end in the pink costume. I saw someone like him try to get away from paying for the metro subway and the police got to him.

Great video! Is there a place where we can watch the section on WW1 Czech Legions in real time? I have always been fascinated with the Czech legion that walked to Vladivostok in 1919 and 1920

I do Like Your videos, as born in Prague, a really do know much places and facts You present. Still I like to know what is interresting for others and how are tourists and foreigners looking on my city. I believe it is interresting and useful reflection. Only pitty is thaht You have not mentioned Jana Palach memorial as You were filming jus a few meters away. Maybe Vítkov could be interresting with it's historical twists e.g. You mentioned "A cue for a meet". Still it is told to be a world biggest riding statue.

Nice video, hello from south africa

There might be a lot of Valeries, but only one that matters...

What about the National Memorial on Vítkov Hill? This one is not in the video.

Wait, you pronounce it as Vaclav? I've been saying it as Maslef lol. That's what I get for relying on language CDs 10:10 I for one would've loved to hear that story

Impressive sculpture. I would like the story.

GREAT!

There is only one Valerie in Prague. And what she, and, her hidden crew that we don't get too see are doing, for Prague. Is PRICELESS!!! Prague tourism should employ you, and, pay you what you want. thank-you.

You forgot the statue of Michael Jackson - in 90´s on the same place where was Stakin a nd now is Metronom Another importatnt statue was a "liberating" tank of soviet army staying in front of today district court of Prague 5 - after revolution painted by pink color, repainted to green and again repainted to pink color by famous controversional artist David Černý --- and than removed. Notice - the stautue of Radetzky (correct czech Radecký) was removed after independence in 1918 - because he was whole his career in Austrian army and was fighting for austrian interrests - while the czech nation was occupied by Austrian empire and farced very havy germanization.... Its the same like he would be fihgting in Nazi army or Soviet (red) army - also nobody would accept his staue...

The Stalin Monument was later briefly replaced by Michael Jackson, right?

Nice

There is only one Valery that is worth listening to and that is your lovely self.

Only one real Valerie, Our Valerie.

Správné by bylo postavit na místě pomníku maršála Radeckého, tohoto českého pomahače Habsburků, pomník Járy Cimrmana, který Habsburkům nikdy s ničím nepomohl...

Was'nt Virgin Mary in year 2005 on the Old Town Square.

Perfect! İ wonder Czech Republik or Czechia? Which is correct?

Extremely interesting: From Pat McCarthy in Canada.

There are people banned from your channel?!?! Terrible of them.

Valeria! It's in Prague a Statue Park? Here in Budapest the Communist Statues they are in a "Memento Park" (for money are seeing..)

Valeria should be the next James Bond girl!

👍

I love Prague 👍

My english not well😅 Could make english subtitle in this channel?

Interesting episode and thanks, especially Jan Hus. I intend, next year, to visit (and hopefully perform an observance upon) a monument in Pizek, that is dedicated to Dagmar Dasha Simkova - the sister of my Grandmother.

A kde je socha Jana Žižky na Vítkově? (Večer tam bývají monumentální výhledy na Prahu)

9:17 gopnik v krivaku? ale no taaaak Val xD

I lived in Prague back in 2000 and it was touristy, but now it's out of control. I hate what happened to the romantic Prague I knew and lived in. Now there are the stupid Asian foot massage places everywhere and it has lost a lot of the flavor that made it so good before.

9:17 slav squats hahaha 🛠️🇬🇷 teach us

seventeen Valeries

Dude, party the hell up. My ancestor Von Pirutzey lived in lower Silesia in the 1500s. Not Czech but it was the Kingdom of Bohemia.

1) Prezident nepovolil zničení Mariánského sloupu 2) Koněv neosvobodil Prahu, ale přijel do již osvobozeného města.

The Stalin statue was called "waiting in line for bread" by Czechs opposed to the communist occupation. Quietly of course...

Marshal Konev was already retired when the Soviets invaded Czechoslovakia, so it's fucking stupid to try to blame him for that. It's a shame that the people of Prague show no respect to a man who liberated their city and saved them from fascism.

What about the Micheal Jackson statue?

great vid again but interview some people please, get some contrary opinion.

9:20 Valerie doing her real Russian accent 😁

Franta Sauer was not a good writer ,but local Jewish drunk from Zizkov

you funny girl, haha, your subject may be controversial and deep, czech history

the guy in the pink onezie has a girlfriend!!! ??

I'm not a fan of nationalism. I would rather live together with Germans (Austrians) in one country as this country always was a country of Czechs and Germans. The nationalism killed it and now there are only Czechs which is a shame.

- Hi or ' / new Sells \ b r

There might be a lot of Valeries, but only one that matters...
