Haunting beauty also in this way. Keep calm, be strong, be patient, be safe (I'm stressing this point guys, even I know it's your work). We'll pass even this moment :) Love from Italy.
@@infobulb wtf? The only Chinese people who were infected were isolated before they could harm anyone else. We were the first ones to block any travels from and to China, but it happened anyways. The only thing we could have done was blocking everything sooner, but it was inevitable
please, do not come back.... its really annoying for local people, seriously, Its too much.... nothing personal, but the overtourism is a real issue here
@@letecmig The economic blow will be huge if that happens mate! Trust me. I live in a Greek island and I shared the same thought with you for so many years....until the tourists finally "left". You can not imagine the disaster that followed.
@@nickolasgaspar9660 Prague is NOT a greek island:) Tourism is just a negligible proportion of Prague GDP. Prague's economy is very diverse- obviously you do not see this when typical tourist just goes back and forth on about 30-40 streets in one small district of PRG (historic center of PRG makes about 3% or territory of the city). Think about Athens- but Prague is more diverse economically.... tourism around Acropolis- Imagine tourist who just spends his three days around the hill thinking 'economy of Athens depends on tourism'- kind of uninformed thinking,isn't it? Yes, overall situation will be big hit to economy of PRG, but because of general slowdown of economic activity due to lock down of locals and businesses in general. Yes, the tourist-related businesses in the historic district will be hit, but that is not the key problem for PRG economy. Also locals typically do not work in these tourist-related jobs as they are low qualification/low pay(its mostly ukrainians,russians, slovaks, you rarely find anybody from Prague working there) Its kind of funny how so many tourists think that 'key economic sector of Prague is tourism' just because they do not really explore the city and they typically do not even speak to a single Czech person during their stay:):) I am not saying we should prevent tourists to come here, but its just too much and especially about half is just a 'tourist trash' . Prague should limit the numbers to about half what it has been and stop the 'thrash' that come for 'cheap beer'. No point having masses of foreigners creating low paid restaurant and reception-type jobs for other foreigners making walk in the historic center 'not pleasant' for locals.
@@letecmig Yes I will agree with some of your points...but again....just a quick search. "The tourism industry which includes hotels, restaurants, tours and travel agencies is playing an exceptional role in the economy, contributing nearly 60% to Prague’s overall income. " www.prague.com/v/economy/ 60%! Can you imagine a blow at the economy and unemployment, well unfortunately we don't need to imagine, we have a real life scenario at our doors???
Watching these pictures reminds me of my childhood. Growing up in Prague some 20+ years ago, it looked much more like this. It stuns me how the never-ending mobs of tourists transform it completely, the experience of the city has become so different that I forgot how it used to feel. Thanks for reminding me.
I went to Czech in 2018 for sightseeing and love the country. Not only its culture but diplomatically respect. Thank for the video, please stay safe and healthy.
Omg it’s eerie to see. Stay safe everyone and Happy St Patrick’s Day from Ireland🇮🇪. Heres 1 Shamrock filled with love and peace ☘️ Rub it and make your wish.
Watching this almost 4 years after the start of the pandemic and the unprecedented lockdowns all over the world gives me chills. The pandemic really altered all of us in many ways. I am just glad that traveling is now in full swing and we all get to move for leisure...and see Prague once again.
I'd thought the residents of Praha would enjoy their city without the massive tourist influx. But with the present situation even they are not in a position to enjoy. Be safe and stay calm. All Things Must Pass, as George Harrison sang many years ago. With best wishes to all from Kolkata, India. AB
Děkuji za neskutečně krásné záběry Karlova mostu a okolí. Nádherně tajemná atmosféra. Pokud to půjde, prosím více takových nočních naladovych videí krásně nasvicenych památek. Když už nemůžeme cestovat, můžeme se kochat. Bez těch davů to vypadá moc hezky. Zdravím ze Zlína :) chraňte se a držte se.
This was confusing, one the one hand it looks so eerie and sad without human life, but on the other it looks amazing being able to see the city without the crowds.
Thanks to Your channel Ive visited Prague in mid january, great city, amazing food, lovely locations. Thank You again for your guide tips. Take care and stay safe. Love from Silesia Poland!
To je prostě velmi smutné! I když mě potěšilo vidět Prahu, když ji turisté neudělali ... Je mi líto všech těch, jejichž živobytí závisí na cestovním ruchu! Děkujeme za vaše videa a především ... buďte v bezpečí !!
tak problem budou mit vsichni kvuli zakazu vychazeni a utlumu ekonomicke aktivity. Lidi co delaji v turistice je jen minimalni procento z lidi co ziji v Praze. Copak si myslite ze treba jen restaurace nebo obchody jsou jenom na Starem meste a Male strane?:)
This reminds me of my time there in the late 1980s before the arrival of capitalism when there were very few tourists. Barring this pandemic we will never see this city so quiet again. They were good times for visitors but but I’d imagine that most residents were glad to see the end of communism.
So our planet is on cleansing diet right now... side effects are: dolphins are back in Venice, Prague looks more beautiful and people do care about each other more than ever.. hopefully we (humans) will learn something from all this
@@StopMediaFakery wow.. what a douche :) the best part is that you got NOTHING.. just text full of complaining but NO solution, right? The Trump way :) Go back to watch FOX news
@@StopMediaFakery You seem like an interesting oddity. Prey tell, who owns a majority of the media, the masons or a certain chose peoples... Who pushes all of this modern media and who in most cases educates those young artists, creates their schooling plans, etc.. The masons or those people.
Damn, a week ago I was still there roaming these streets. But honestly I felt Prague's centre is hard to enjoy because of the masses of tourists. Now the locals have it back at least for some weeks.
sadly this is a hard time for locals, not a nice break... we're under quarantine, it's not like we can just go strolling about old town. hundreds of locals who work in tourism are going to be devastated by this financially
@@EVBell-gz8iv Yeah I know, it's the same here in Berlin. Working in the tourism sector myself (only part time though) I know that the upcoming months will be a challenging time for many people.
Your goverment took an drastic but smart step to keep you save. Today would have been my last day in Prague before heading home. There will be a time in the future when I am actually going to see your beautiful city.
@@edschildphotostudio5127 Yup, more people will die, economy crash, lack of goods...and after all that a new boom and then another crash ;) History repeats itself
@@luismarques9280 I'm from hk... We faced what west is facing now... And now all business is back to normal... So.. Just learn from the east... I work in club.. Never even wear a mask
This is a very sad situation Janek, but it might be somehow appreciated by some locals. Then again the economic downturn will likely be severe for all as well as businesses. Are restaurants and bars closing down?. In early February I abandoned all hope of visiting Prague and Poland in July for my 5th trip from Australia. Italy has just overtaken China in number of deaths - this was unthinkable just 2 weeks ago!. Hunker down because it's likely to be a totally tragic worldwide event.
God bless Prague! Hope everyone there keeps safe and healthy! Although my trip to Prague this Oct has to be cancelled probably, I will meet the amazing city someday! Best wishes from China!
Seeing empty cities is like seeing someone naked, it shows their full beauty but also all of their scars. Those scars remind us all the hard times cities had to witness in the past, but also shows us that wounds can heal, no matter how deep they are.
Love the Czech Republic and Prague. Love your videos. Should have been to Prague in April. for the sixth time, but it has to wait. Stay safe stay home, lets fight Covid19
I was only in your beautiful city 3 weeks ago. My 5th or 6th time. Its chilling to see that. I look forward to returning later this year when we are on the other side of this.
A very bizarre sight. God, it looks bloody beautiful though, as always. Czechs should be commended for the way they have handled this crisis so far. No scenes of panic in the supermarkets like we've seen in some countries. What does that say about the Czechs? What does that say about some of these other countries?
Zdravím :) Mezi svátky jsme vyrazili někdy po 2 ranní hodině na Vyšehrad a pak na Karlův most a Kampu. Vypadalo to tam úplně stejně, možná jsme tam měli i ještě o ten pár lidí méně :D Mám i video, jen jsem ho ještě nenahrál :)
Is it a good idea effect on regional peoples ??? Recently gates of airport and embassy we ambush somewhere els but this might be more dangerious it will be depends how many days it take based on days remember
There's a shortage of masks for health professionals. Being responsible means leaving the masks for them. Also, being six feet away from someone is safe.
Dont really get why would u travel in such time, we are under the lockdown, we are under the quarantine, no one should go out, everything is closed and you will come for what? Stay home and dont risk ur health and our health here
Naqis Zhalia ummm because we came long before the ban started and the airlines wouldn’t let us change anything at the time. It’s been a great vacation the city is amazing without the people.
We are allowed to go outside only for important things, like an appointment with a doctor, buying food and going to work. Edit: And making videos for RU-vid. ;)
You can go to work and from work, you can go to buy food, go to pharmacy, go to hospital/doctor, and you can even go outside for a walk if you want, but you should go alone or with someone you live with (family, roommates, partners, etc.), you just shouldn't form groups of random people. From that video and from that out of context part of our prime minister speech it looks like we must stay at home and can't go anywhere. You can even use public transport, taxi, etc. you just should wear a protective mask (in Prague our mayor even commanded you must wear a protective mask if you want to use public transport).
There are next to no tourists in Prague now. With the boarders closed they all fled the city. The residents are going about their normal lives which doesn't include walking around the city at 10pm when nothing is open.
@@sagasketchbook They don't. The video was made in midnight, in centre of Prague, where normally is literally only tourists, so it is not that surprising that no one is there, because majority of international flights, international buses, and international trains, was canceled like one or two weeks ago in majority of europe countries. And people who are from Prague have no need to go to Prague centre in midnight, because why would they. They don't go there much even when everything is open and tourists are there, and now when restaurants, bars and pubs are closed they have even less reason to go there. But if you saw the whole speech of our prime minister and government, you would find out that there is a problem because a lot of people are idiots and make a big groups in park and streets anyway.
