There's no place I would want to be than Prague at Christmastime. Hopefully next year, things will be back to normal. When I go for Christmas, I stay at Kings Court- which is very convenient- being across from the Palladium, and has a nice restaurant with special Christmas meals for the 24th and 25th...
Dear Valeria! I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I was in Prague at Christmas 2005, it was snowing and there was a very nice Christmas tree in front of Tyn Cathedral. It was wonderful and it was one of the best Christmases of my life!
Valeri, sorry I am late but wishing you and your team a Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year!!! I've enjoyed your shows so much about Prague, I've started sharing on FB.----CARP IN THE BATH TUB🤔😱? Poor fish😭!!!😂
Was waiting for you to sit beside yourself on that tram bench. Nice photo work. I know, hang out and dine with with Madonna at her haciendas near the Charles Bridge. The girls in the striped sailor uniforms that pilot the boats under the bridge told me she lives there. Merry Christmas Ms. V, have a wonderful and prosperous new year.
Thank you for your information! I am going to celebrate my Christmas there this year. I am so excited, but I will buy food before the 24th of December and bring it to my hotel!
I hate Christmas 🥵😡🤬 no matter where I am . . . but I love Valery 🥰😍💕 and the Real Prague Guides RU-vid channel! So Happy Sol Invictus Day V&V, and stay cautious into 2022! 🎄🎅🎄🎅
I will be there this Christmas! And although your videos have helped me a loooooot, I really want to be there no matter the headless chickens or the cold or the crowds or nothing open on the 24th and 25th or... maybe I have no idea what I'm saying hahaha ... Let's see!
Hi Valerie, love all your videos. I will be in your fine city this Christmas eve and day. Is there a way to get into the Klenentenium library? Like INSIDE to take pictures. Do you do that? Thanks and Merry Christmas :)
Valerie would make the Christmas experience remarkable anywhere in the World.Merry Christmas to Val and the Little Fishes and Happy New Year to the headless Chickens.
I'm so enjoying your videos Valerie but.... no svářak on the street this Christmas no alcohol in public 😞. No "Christmas markets" were allowed. The farmers' market in Jiřiho z Poděbrad was a lovely non-Christmas market that offered all the things a Christmas market does without the crowds (and svářak was available to take away) and the Vinohrady residents know which potraviny/restaurant/bar is open Christmas eve and Christmas day.. Hezké svátky a štastný nový rok Lots of Love The Devil 🙂
When we were in Prague last time during the 12 days of Christmas, all the churches were open. Some asked for you to put some money on the bucket, but we saw some cool places. St Vitus was the only one you still had to pay for.
I just got back from Prague, and I miss it already! Christmas might not be the best time to visit, however, because of the reasons outlined in this video.
Thanks again for a nice clip, Valerie. I'm no christmas person att all but I've spent three C's in Prague and couldn't think of anything more beatiful. Don't know if the joke still lives but in the early nineties folks compared stupid politicians to christmas karps. "He swims back and forth like a karp in the tub."
We’re coming after Christmas until the New Year. Made reservations at Lokal on the 1st just in case and they confirmed it so that’s good :) Do you know if they are doing fireworks in Letná Park on the 1st?
When I was in Iraq, I really didn't have a job so mostly went fishing. I caught carp most weighed 18kg, one weighed 31kg. I'm 1/2 Slovak but I eat veal for Christmas dinner.
I think one scene in the movie ''Pelíšky'' has the man of the house unable to kill the carp. Still trying to find the full movie on the web. Anyway, very useful information and Merry Christmas to our good folks at RPG.
In Prague from 5 to 16 December 2021, I encountered the "Christmas tram" (#2 line) so often that I started to wonder if there's more than one carriage outfitted so merrily.
Great video! So maybe we'll skip the 24th and 25th but if we go the week between Christmas and New Years- how is that? Are the markets and stores/restaurants open or does everything basically shut down until after New Years?
Hi! Everything opens after 26th (still a holiday) and stays open till 31st of December. (1st of January is also a Holiday, so most shops will be closed) Don’t be discouraged to visit here, during Christmas 🎄. It just takes a little more planning done. Making reservations for restaurants for 24th dinner and being aware that some attractions and museums might be closed on 25th and 26th. Crowds should be a little smaller 27th and 28th but around New Years it’s even more packed than Xmas
I've looked online....and there a many restaurants offering Christmas dinners both on the 24th & 25th, so I'm not sure why you're saying all restaurants will be closed and tourists will go hungry on these 2 days?
Many restaurants will be closed and those that will be opened you usually need to make reservation for. This was exaggeration. I think we say it in the video that you can find a place to eat but need a reservation. Most of our videos have a bit of sarcasm to them so don’t take everything we say literally please :)
Ahoj milacku don't worry I'm not crazy listen u make me laugh 😆 I'm the guy from drevna pivo in u kalendu and jidlo in pod skali on me my name is mikes actually Mike I'm not a cat me ow
Thanks for the video! I am still debating with myself if I should go at the beginning of October or weekend of the 26th November to enjoy the Christmas markets and decorations. Will end of November be better to avoid tourists crowds?
Try to avoid weekends, that’s when all of Czech Republic travels to Prague to shop Xmas presents and while at it, to visit Christmas Markets as well. Early December is still not so crowded. Anywhere between 6th of December till about 20th of December is usually ok, as along as it’s not weekend. When they open Christmas markets there is usually a celebration connected to it where they light the Christmas tree up and a lot of people come to see that as well.
You are in Prague during pandemic (and a state of emergency). Prague is empty right now 😉 compared to what it was in 2019. Try to travel here again when tourism is at it's full strength and go to a restaurant on 24th evening without a reservation...
