I don' t know the situation outside of Germany, but here most towns, labeled as , medieval ' for tourists, are in reallity from Rennaissnce era. But most people are historicaly so uneducated, that they don' t notice it, same thing with costumes, when the wearers are no serious reenactors.

The Clock is from 1490..that is one thing which makes it extraordinary (although it is actually a replica but a 1:1 replica because during WWII it was completely destroyed due to American bombings) The upper clockface which is moving is a socalled "astrolab" which is used for calculating star movements and it is aligned with the geographic latitude/parallel on which Prague is located, it has 3 watch hands, one is showing the yearly run of the sun, the 2nd showes the yearly run of the moon, and the 3rd shows the ecliptic of the signs of the zodiac The clockface beneath which is fixed is showing the time with another 2 watch hands. Extremly simplyfied explained because the clock is actually showing simultanously 13 different things mainly related with astronomy and just 4 devices out of those 13 I just mentioned. And I´m not an astronomer in order to be able to explain everything And again the thing what makes the clock extraordinary is that in 1490 such a highly complicated foremost astronomical thing to build was built.

I’m totally guilty of being that clueless tourist in Prague (I went there pre smartphone era) and visited all of those landmarks in the video and I realise now I knew none of the names of those famous landmarks. My excuse is, my friends were my guide and I didn’t have a guide book.

7:10 it's like the people with tattoos of Chinese signs/words and have no clue what it is until a Chinese tells them it means noodle soup or something like this. Happened even to celebrities. 🤣

If I take a picture of a church in the netherlands (I'm dutch), in a town I have never been before, good chance I don't know the name either.

As a Dutchman you partially got thanksgiving because of us and the British. You litterly celebrate genocide. I find that disgusting to be honest

Having visited many ,old towns' in Germany, i am german, the visited towns are so much, that i simply can not remember the names of all historical buildings i have photographed. But , even being no accademic, only history interessted ( for over 50 years, since Kindergarten days) factory worker, i mostly can say , what kind of building it is.

Awesome video! Awesome T-Shirt Linda.

My favourite thing to do in a new city or country is go off and randomly explore. Sure I'll have a few things I'd like to see or plan to do but getting lost and exploring is fun.

Ahhh, Ryan Reynolds again.

Cities in Eastern Europe, like Prague, Budapest and Vienna are all super pretty.

Well, we were part of Western Europe for 1000 years, Prague was even the capital of the Holy Roman Empire... So we hate to be called "Eastern Europe", just because we were occupied by the USSR 1948 - 1989.. So please, be aware of that, once you'll visit Prague, then call us the Central Europe, or even Western, otherwise you'll get unfriendly looks.. And more...

@@viktornovomestsky3999 Geographically Europe stretches from Iceland in the west to the Oeral in the east. The west part of Europe we call Western Europe, and the east part Eastern Europe, just as Southern and Northern Europe. It has nothing to do with the USSR period. But you are right, the Czech Republic is in Western Europe, even a part of Slovakia. Not sure what the Holy Roman Empire has to do with east or west.

I have visited Bohemia and Moravia several times. 2 times, as a very young guy, when the Iron Curtain still existed. Apart from the fact that Prague is a very beautiful city that has now recovered from the decline during Stalinism, it is also an important cultural treasure in completely different ways. It is the only major city in Central Europe that was not really affected by World War II. And as a result of the Habsburgs' rule in Bohemia over several centuries, a massive architectural imprint of German urban development was created in the city. This makes Prague the only major city in Central Europe that gives an impression of what major German cities looked like before they sank into rubble and ashes...

Yes, Prague is how people think Vienna is, but old Vienna is gone. Only few cities like Prague with Austrian-Hungarian vibes survived, it's mainly Prague and Budapest, but some people say even Ljubllana in Slovenia is nice example of this austrian architecture. It's not actually true that Prague was not bombed, but it's not comparable with other cities in Europe, but some damage was also done in Prague, one church has modern roof because of bombing, one old synagogue is completely gone and there is communist elementary school from 50s now and there is much more of it.
