I definitely need to visit this city. Honestly the best part of the Czech Republic is the cities like this. I visited Plzeň while staying in Prague and it was lovely to see a Czech city not overrun with tourism for a more authentic feel. Also no intrusive tourist trap BS. This looks similar.

​@@kindmulberry7196 Plzeň is a fun day trip. There is a really cool little puppet museum, the Pilsner Urquell original brewery tour (Pilsner lager was invented in this city!). As for Pardubice in the video, it looks like a prettier city to walk around.

Aww, too bad I missed it. I was roaming around třída Míru just yesterday. Few other tips or interesting facts: 1. Pardubice is a city of sports - besides already mentioned horse racing and speedway motorcycles, there is a great hockey team, historically one of the most successful in the country, also a football team that plays in the top league, a basketball team that also plays in the top league, etc. Pardubice is also a very flat region, so using a bike as a means of transport is very popular. And because of its flatness, it's also great for jogging, in-line skating, etc. 2. Pardubice is a city of transportation - there's an international airport that is just 10 minutes away from the main railway station (by bus). Although a connection to major European cities is not great atm, there was a direct flight to London before the pandemic so it might get reinstated at some point (fingers crossed). Speaking of the railway station - it's located on the main corridor that connects Hamburg - Berlin - Prague - Vienna (or Bratislava - Budapest). So yeah, you can use the railway station here to travel to other major EU cities. Or to many other cities. 3. If you love coffee then you’ll love Pardubice. There’s a lot of great coffee places that know how to make a good tasting coffee for you (including alternative brewing methods). Some examples - Putovní pražírna, Bakla cafe, Bílej Kocouř or Dobrý Kafe. But if you prefer the big coffee brands then there’s also Starbucks, Costa Coffee, or CrossCafe (Czech franchise, student-friendly). 4. There’s a lot of summer music fests, namely Majáles which takes place 5 min walk from the university, or Hrady, which takes place next to (below) a medieval castle Kunětická hora. Unfortunately, all fests have been canceled during this year due to the pandemic. But there’s a good chance they’ll reopen the following year. 5. Getting around the city is really easy. Besides the already mentioned possibility to commute by bike, you can also rent one (Nextbike) or you can rent an electric scooter (Bolt or Uber; and it's actually kinda useful here because there're almost no cobblestones, unlike in Prague, and a good amount of bicycle paths). Another option is to use a bus or a trolleybus, which can get you pretty much anywhere in the city, including the more distant areas. And it's cheap. And last but not least you can just use your feet because the whole city is about 1/6 of the size of Prague. In any case, you are more than welcome to visit Pardubice 😊

@@fernandaxavier6122 Glad I could help 😊 I think it should be no problem, since there are a lot of international students, who also don't speak czech. The older ppl might not always understand you, but the younger generation speak just fine most of the time (or at least good enough). You'll definitely be able to go shopping, order a food or a coffee, buy a bus or a train ticket, etc. The only problem could probably be dealing with some officials. Also you can pay by card almost anywhere so use that instead of cash, wherever possible.

Yes! I always ask for more videos on other places than Prague and I'm never disappointed. Before watching this video, I didn't even know that Pardubice existed! Thanks to you, I keep adding destinations to my travel list. Thank you!!

Missing my Erasmus days in Pardubice... I had an ambition to visit as many places as possible in Czech lands: Pardubice, Prague, Kolin, Kutna Hora, Mlada Boleslav, Terezin, Olomouc, Ostrava, Cesky Tesin, Karvina, Cesky Krumlov, Ceska Trebova, Moravska Trebova, Hradec Kralove, Chrudim, Karlovy Vary, Plzen, Brno, Breclav, Snezka, Trutnov were the places that I spent time (either a couple of days or at least 4-5 hours). As a Turkish, I liked to explore Bohemia, Moravia and Silesianmoravia. I will never forget Ceske Drahy, RegioJet, Arriva and LeoExpress on those journeys...

If I was a foreigner and saw this video, I'd get an impression that all you can do in Pardubice is drink and study :D While they have lovely historical sights such as the exceptionally nice castle, the tower and the main square with the impressive town hall.

I stumbled onto your Pardubice video when you guys had Honest Guide version 1, that led me to visit this city, thank you for the bridge! Great episode. Keep up the great work, fellas! The city square is very beautiful and walking around the square center is intersting, by the way!

The main reason that I have heard about this city since before is because of the brewery and their beer Pardubický Porter. Then like someone else mentioned the ice hockey team seems quite good and have been qualified for CHL a couple of times if I remember correctly.

This city looks amazing. I will include it on my list of cities to visit.

I have been to Maybe bar like twice before I moved from Pardubice to Prague. I can say it’s really a nice place with good customer service

When you said Cinnamon buns .. it made me smile thinking about the episodes in two and half men about cinnamon buns

An episode about Milovice would be nice. It's a small town 35 kms from Prague which isn't really interesting by itself but the history of the town is cool - it's rebuilt old soviet military base (that had a direct train connection with Moscow 32 years ago)... into a regular Prague suburb town. There is Mirakulum, country's largest and most popular amusement park which is like a Czech version of Disney land... the park is connected by a narrow-gauge railway with another huge adventure park that offers rides in old soviet tanks and other military vehicles. Right next to these parks is a very rare nature reserve with bisons, aurochs and tarpans, nowhere in the world found together at one place... to sum it up, there is also a nice popular Café place right at the town's railway station's vestibule - from there it's 15 minutes walk to the nature reserve.

Great video! I enjoy watching all your content. We are hoping to visit the Christmas market in Prague in December. We will be visiting from the US. Can you tell me the Covid requirements for US citizens to enter? Thanks in advance.

I've travelled all over the world and I found the best thing to do is to GTFO of tourist zones. Everything is better: great restaurants, people actually interested in talking to you and sharing their stories, awesome stuff you can get to memorialize your visit, and everything is MUCH cheaper. In the Czech Republic I rented a tiny apartment and as I was about to get on the elevator a kind elderly woman took me by the elbow, gently pulling me back, and motioned that I shouldn't get on the elevator because it would probably crash into the ground and kill me. My ProTip for travelling: never, ever put anything you want to keep in your back pockets, put your phone and wallet in your front pockets. You should do this when at home as well.

Can you do a video from Ostrava?
