Congratulations for your national holiday today to the Czech Republic Since 2000 you celebrate this day. Czech is a main part of the european family Such an amazing country with beautiful landscape and such charming people Wish all czech people only the best for the future from your friends in Germany
Vielen Dank für Ihre Wünsche. Jeder sollte wissen, dass dieses Land und seine Schönheit auch von Deutschen erbaut wurden, die hier jahrhundertelang gelebt haben, und ich bin stolz darauf, dies anzuerkennen. Und Deutsche sind hier immer willkommen! Thank you very much for your wishes. Everyone should know that this country and its beauty was also build by Germans who lived here for centuries and I am proud to acknowledge this. And German people will always be welcomed here!
I would like to suggest not to use Czechia, as it has a bad connotation for older generation (Nazi's term Tschechei). If uou feel that Czech republic is too long, use Czechlands, or what Czech call it, Cesko (soft C/tch).
@@jiritichy7967 But Czechia is just the translation of Česko. The ministry of the interior intself says "The short form “Czechia” should be used where the formal name “the Czech Republic” is not required." As far as I know, it was only recently officially introduced as an official name for the country. In German, it is true that you shouldn't use "Tschechei" (although it is older than Nazi-Germany) but Tschechien (which is even older).
@@SolarisUrbinoFan It is not a translation of C'esko, because at its origin, the term C'esko did not exist. The spelling of the tanslation would be different (/chesko/). But that is not he point. Regardless of all these so called reasons and proofs,Ii simply say that Czechia, mildly said, sounds to me awful.
It really is beautiful and there is plenty to do all around the country. CR has mountains, lakes, forests, caves, museums, castles, festivals of all types (food, drinks, medieval, music, film...) etc etc.... I love going to Moravia at the end of September during the young wine festivals for example. Amazing. I miss pre-Corona times when we could travel and everything was open and great.
@@RateMyRestaurantYEG I have never been to Tbilisi thought one day I would love to. I know some people who been there or are from there and I think Prague is definatelly a better choice. At least in terms of an economy and geographical location. Also, in my opinion there is a lot more to do in Prague and the choice of international cusine is wider as its more developed city. You could live on the outskirts of Prague if you wish to live near the nature but still with an easy distance to the city. Retired life can be quite friendly with mushrooming, blueberry hunting, actual hunting, castle visiting, or trekking across the country all very safely.
@@RateMyRestaurantYEG In Tbilisi it is almost impossible to live, without speaking georgian or russian. Only few people there speak english. On the other side, everything is cheaper in Tbilisi, and it´s not that overcrowded. Also local cuisine is incredibly good, and it really local, in Praque, many things just pretend to be local, but it´s not.
I went to these places even before Rick Steves promoted these places. It was amazing to go to these places when you did not see too many tourists. For me personally go mid September. No big crowds because all the college students and families have gone back home. The weather is better also. Take your time and don't rush yourself in these places. Spend at least 3 days in these areas.
...absolutely astonishing, under lovely guidance of charismatic Mr. Rick Steves Europe is so beautiful, incredibly sweet captivating smile of mesmerizing Mr. Rick making travel so home, always appreciated your kindness , love ❤️ you...
One of the best guides for any European country. He presents you with the cultural treasures in a fun way and gives practical information on how to make the best out of your limited vacation time. An update for art lovers - the Slavic Epic is now in Prague
Rick Steves, your video very special. A comprehensive information about the people and all related to the venue/area. Well-planned in ca. 24 minutes only. I feel like on the spot with your trip. Great job. Thank you.
...from heartbreaking history told by luscious voice of charismatic Mr. Rick Steves to sassy mud bath bring this wonderful movie in most intriguing way to stay attached to beautiful charms of breathtaking Europe , thank you, love ❤️ you...
+Phani Shankar Brno is great city too. There are many thinks to visit and see and specially if you are interested in a wine business. Brno is in Moravian region where most of the Czech production of wine is being made. If you wanna have a look on lovely Czech country side - than that is a way to start in Brno and travel from there - towards to cities like Mikulov, Břeclav, Hodonín..and maybe even beautiful place near be it - like Lednice (castle).. Moravian people are kind and lovely to meet - but you have to go to country side to really appreciate the traditional view.
By the way... I kinda miss Kutná Hora here. I know there is a lot to mention and you can't cram all the beautiful places into 25 minutes but at least few words... In the 14th century, before the Hussite wars, Kutná Hora was one of the richest cities in the entire Europe. It was all thanks to silver mining and production of coins called Pražský groš which was very popular european currency at that time. Kutná Hora is now listed as a UNESCO world cultural heritage (amongst other 11 places in Czechia).
It's easy to go the capital cities of a country, airplane ride and you're there. Train rides are much more fun. Czech is a small country so only 3 hour train rides and one can get to most places in this beautiful country! Thank you, Steve
I been in Prague with my Czech's partner and I loved the historical, the architectural building and the castle. My partner is now in Prague( without me :-( ) to visit his family. I wish I could go back again and to see the other places I have not see yet. Thanks Rick .
Been to Prague in Czech Republic and I love the city of Prague and the country of Czech Republic, I want to go again and explore more of the country one day!
The Slavic epic is indeed to see in Prague now. It's no longer in Moravský Krumlov. (and a note: the spelling of one of the places you visited is Třeboň). However it's a very nice short documentary, always glad to see people realizing that the Czech Republic has so much more to offer than Prague..
I’ve been watching Rick Steves since the 90s and I’ve never seen this episode. It’s one of my favorites! Sounds like old Franz Ferdinand experienced what the Roma might call Karma: what goes round comes around 😂
From all the places he visited the one that I liked the most was Moravia..Olomouc..I think I would love to go there..Thank you for showing us such a beautiful country...
Czech Republic a countryŷ of great disaster and loverly landscapes a country Not to miss a great place to visit. On holiday .I was able to satay in 1980s great holiday.Thanks for my jjounry
Enjoyed the video with good guaidence ,exacelent video coverage, that as if we are rooming in the tourist spots beautiful musiam in side wide range of constructions very nice thanks a lot. from India.
I highly dispute the statement at 2:52 that the Moravians are more emotional and friendlier than Czechs. I, the Czech, debate this nonsense with my Moravian wife for more than 20 years. So far, no solution, the debate continues...
lehoX62 As a Czech I've got to agree. Of course it varies but in general, if you go to Moravia just for a pop visit you can certainly tell in a minute the people are more friendly and warm.
@@dejffjed If you want some real warmth just come to Ostrava. After you step off the train, pay no attention to the smell of urine, but those smiling gypsy's are indeed a warm greeting. Take a tram towards the main square, that smell of body sweat is warm, but not too friendly. Don't worry if you don't notice any immediate smiles. These people are absolutely not cold. Hearts of gold once you get to know them, and no they're not on their way to any funeral. The people here are obviously very caring towards each other and full of respect for themselves too.
Most houses in cities in Europe had flushing toilets in 1900. It was not used so much in the countryside, but it was normal sanitary technology in that time.
Thank you Rick for your discussions and views of the. Republic outside Prague e gaging dr a new comer have only been to Prague a City I , loved in 1990s and would be nice too see the area again.
Other towns/cities to visit include Tábor, Telč and Třebíč. The Slav Epic paintings were moved to Prague (in Veletržní Palace) in 2012 after this video was made. The paintings were on exhibition in Japan in mid-2017, may still be as at August 2017.
Sir Davis; If it still there today I think it's nice..The people not only recognized the value of their culture and history but also of their struggles and how today they are such a fantastic country...
Sir David Payne i'm from algeria and i reallu want to live in czech republic but i don't know how to live there and if the people of czech can accepte another people "immigration" can i have some help?
Amine Tube It is pretty simple. People in Czech republic and in Europe in general got pretty quickly alergic to immigrants who marched in our countries without bothering to take any ID or legal documents, who came here without any knowledge of our languages, no plan on where to live and work and no idea how to find either of them and yet at the same time shouting from bottom of their lungs how we are responsible for them and that we have to take care of them and allow them whatever they want. Obviously such outlook rubbed lot of people around here wrong. If you want to avoid all this, it is pretty simple: Learn language of country where you want to move in. If you can't learn that language (either due to time constrants or simply no source to learn it from), it can be skipped but then you should secure place to live in and job in that country BEFORE you move in because later here it would be very hard to do so without knowledge of local language. English will not help you everywhere. And of course go through legal routes to get legal documents that will allow you to live here. Unless you are criminal or drug addict they will not make you any problems to aquire them. Also important thing to realize is that Czech Republic is mostly atheistic. There is not much support for religion here. No one is forbidding anyone to believe in whatever he wants but if you are religious, do not expect anyone to bend out of their way because of it or people be interested in it. If you do above mentioned things, you will be accepted without any problems. People around never complain about someone working here. They simply dislike those who came here with intent to not work yet full of demands.
I love Prague though it was the only city in Czech Republic I've visited due to time constraint. It was like entering a storybook. But been to Old Town and New Town, Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, Astronomical Clock, Wenceslas Square, various churches, etc. Would be happy to return when it's already safe to travel.

We love Czech and we are PROUD to be Czech! :-)
Come and have a FUN!

Personally for me Prague is the city that outshines all other european cities.
+atempo206 Why is that?
+atempo206 can you elaborate?
You are not alone in that opinion
As a Prague citizen and native, I think Basel's beauty outshines even Prague.
What about Helsinki
cheers from croatia
I love Czech! Love from Silesia
I been in Prague with my Czech's partner and I loved the historical, the architectural building and the castle. My partner is now in Prague( without me :-( ) to visit his family. I wish I could go back again and to see the other places I have not see yet. Thanks Rick .

Very well made video about the Czech Republic. I don't usually like this type of documentary, but this was fun.

I'm Czech and I didni't know about that ridiculous astronomical clock in Olomouc...
Sir Davis; If it still there today I think it's nice..The people not only recognized the value of their culture and history but also of their struggles and how today they are such a fantastic country...
vicksss It's a monument to a fallen authoritarian regime and its twisted ideology. I fail to see what's nice about it.
iglidor Concentration camps were never supposed to be a monument celebrating a regime and its ideology.

Terezin is a bastion - a star fortress
Lovely ...he always imbedded beliefs in his story.!!
