One linguistic note. The word "dollar" comes indeed from the silver coins from Jáchymov. The original German name of the town is Joachimsthal, which gave the name "thaler" to the coins. Thaler became tolar and the rest is history. :)

@henningbartels6245

Correct. The German name for todays Jáchymov was Joachimsthal (lit. St Joachim's valley) - the silver coin was named just in short version "Thaler" (dropping the Saint Joachim) From this "Thaler" the Czech Tolar and the American Dollar derived.

This is an exceptionally great video, congratulations. I'm Hungarian, so I don't live that far from the Czech Republic, but unfortunately I've never been there so far. Maybe one day I can visit Karlovy Vary. It looks gorgeous and the attractions are very interesting. I'd like to suggest something for a future video. If you could show us Prague's pro football teams' stadiums (Bohemians, Slavia, Sparta, Viktoria Zizkov), that'd be cool. I know this subject wouldn't be too exciting for every tourist, but I'm sure there'd be viewers who would enjoy the tours. Slavia's new arena looks fantastic in Google Maps. :)

In my humble opinion, this might be one of the best videos of yours! Thank you a lot for this, I enjoyed it every second, just continue this way! Perfect :)

There is also a hotel in Karlovy Vary, whose facade was the model for the hotel in the film Grand Budapest Hotel.

7:30 I camped illegally but for free out behind those moth butterfly houses and tower and beer garden for like three days when I was in Karlovy vary. Awesome views.

We had that Skoda in white.

"PRAMEN" is close to the Dutch word "PRAMMEN", which is a popular word (plural) for the upper female anatomy. So I was amazed they were selling these in Prague, the first time I visited ;-)

Best Becherovka is lie down 3 days in freezer. Than Becherovka gets lava effect and teast is best. However good is with Sprite who don't need that strong taste.

I am Dutch and on the websites I am trying to find a nice stay, there has been called a lot of disadvantages for example room isn’t clean or something like that. Actually pretty oké for a student. Proper is important to me.

You can if you have an official PCR test that is not older than 1 week, or an antigen test not older more than 72 hours. If you want to dance the test must not be older than 24 hours. OR if you had covid you have peace for 180 days. But you must have a paper/digital confirmation from your doctor. And the approved vaccines are only those that have been approved by the EMA.
