Tourists say that the clock is boring, that it's too crowded and some people go as far as saying that you should skip the Astronomical Clock in Prague during your visit. But is it really that disappointing? Let's investigate.

    The clock isn’t overrated at all. I lived in Prague as a child in 70s and visited the city again in 2022; after a gap of 40 years! I love the city! It has a vibe of its own! Places like Prague are not for seeing only; they are meant to be felt! You must read and explore about the history of the places and then visit them. Also read about the legends and stories associated with those places. Prague is love! I hope and wish to visit this beautiful city again!
  • I’m fascinated by anything that has been around as long as the clock. I’m looking forward to visiting it in person in a couple of months.

    Love The Astrological Clock in Prague, never can get bored of it

    I LOVE the astronomical clock, and the history behind it. When I got to see it for the first time, it warmed my heart. It was a dream come true for me.
  • Our guide took us for coffee and pastries at the hotel across from the clock. This was the best way to learn the history and to avoid the crowds below. Loved Prague and its people.
  • Everyone likes different things. I loved the clock and was overwhelmed thinking about all who had vied it since 1410. While filming keep your other hand on your wallet is not bad advice. If we can get all the people who think Paris, Vienna, and Prague are overrated to just go to Disney and leave the rest of us alone, we will all be happier. Not liking something popular doesn’t make you sophisticated. Loudly proclaiming it makes you a bore. Keep up the great work RPGs.
  • History! Without a proper explanation, inquisitive minds wonder quickly. Luckily, we have Real Prague Guides to fully explain the importance of such features. Even if the missing "L" lends a passionate giggle. Always a thumbs-up!

    I thought the clock was beautiful and wonderful. There was someone standing by me complaining about it.. but if you only come to clock for the show you are missing out on a lot of beautiful art and history which is what a Prague visit should be about.
  • Most tourists, in my experience... are as thick as a Submarine door ! Thankfully we have you Valery 😎

    That pronunciation of the letter L thing at the end ....I wasn't ready for that you caught me flat-footed 😳😁🥃

    My wife and I are visiting Prague from 6th - 13th February and are just starting to get excited. We just wanted to say that your videos are fantastic and so very helpful. We are staying in old town in a hotel with a view of the Astronomical clock. We will be dressed warm and ready to go exploring. I’ve already booked the museum complex, a Slavia Prague home match and we are both looking forward to seeing the Castle. Thank you so much for these amazing guides. We will be deliberately going off the beaten track as well to find some of the hidden gems you’ve suggested 🙏🏻 Alex and Elsbeth

    I love iit when I toured Prague in June and again in Oct of 2022
  • Generally, i don't care about the others' opinion, someone told me he didn't like Kutná Hora and it's boring and not worthy, BUT I would say I LOVED THE TRIP THERE SO MUCH, I have my own perspective (specifically because I'm an architect). Yet I've not been in Staré město Prahy, but I'm pretty sure I'll love it too.
  • I've been there a couple of times and I'm going to visit again next year. The astronomical clock is amazing! Even if it was built yesterday it would still be superb, the mechanism and what it shows (the placement of the sun, moon, day, night etc.) is beautiful. Also, your channel is great!

    It's a beautiful clock with alot of history. Every time I visit Prague, I do like to visit it once.
  • @sjp1861
    Another fantastic fun and informative video! 👍🏻❤️

    Řekl bych, že toto není problémem jen Orloje a Prahy. Někteří turisté nerozlišují mezi zábavním parkem vybudovaným pro jejich potřeby a historickým místem/památkou.
  • @kmtabq617
    Personally, I love the technology that the clock represents.
