charles bridge products most famous landmark, only the early birds among you will ever get to see it this empty. it's 7 am and i've managed to beat the crowds the bridge, the vault of a river. the spires now seems to be the perfect time to take it all in. the vibe is very special progress. one of the most visited cities in all of europe. and that's not really surprising if you consider that it's been a political and cultural center in europe since the middle ages. so what's left of all of that today, we're about to find out a join me in prague for a day. ah, you'll get to know famous author franz kafka
12:32 pm
ah, learn more about the he, me and dumplings abroad classic and will explore the ball tub up the city's main artery. ah, frog is the capital of the czech republic and home to some 1300000 people sent it's my 1st time in town. i'm getting help from a local. at coffee flavio i'm meeting actor and tour guide christiane, my strick. before we hit the town, i want to learn some basic check skills. i mean, i would like to be able to be polite, okay, a bit slow and hello. yes. so you know, hello. this is one of these. hello. if you say hello, it's like a boy, it's a little bit more prominent. so when you come to the shop and it's like a hoity, it's not the best thing you can do. i don't need to and like guten, soc, is saying gluten dog is dumping nobody den that nobody,
12:33 pm
nobody them almost perfect. somebody that the leader, nothing. then you need it. then you should probably know how to say goodbye. yeah. not. no, never think i will have to say your forever. this is a good idea. we love people like it. all right? not fun. i know is there not a more informal way of saying that like why you're thinking which brings us to do it? because if you want to say like a bird weight, it's really official, really polite. you can say yes liquids really hard to say you can, which is like, thanks. i don't think it is good. i can let that rolls off of that. yeah. but before you say, you should say like police or something like that. yeah. so it's okay, i have a good news for you because we use, but i've seen because we are really influenced by germans for so many centuries. so
12:34 pm
use it in the same case as you do. so when you don't understand like me possess all of this, when you say like to welcome for us you and as well. so you could, you will. so it's really useful. oh yeah. and it's easy to remember compared to all the other ones. i mean it all seem perfect. ah, christiane tells me that prague is full of history. gallet market for example, has been around since the 13th century. it's remarkable how well maintained the old town. in 1992 proc city center was declared a unesco world heritage. our 1st stop is the old town square and friend up the old town hall. a ticket for the tower. it costs $250.00 check crown. yep, prague as part of the you. but not the euro zone that's about 10 years. at
12:35 pm
41 meters, you'll have to city at your feet. why is prague then called the golden the city? i think it's in the time that they started to use it, prague was one of the capitals of seats, place of the holy roman empire for the emperor vas. we don't use it any more. surely we locals don't use it as much. we use. no, no, no, we use the expression mother of 100 suppliers. well, because if you look up from the window from the bars, because he das pires everywhere, actually i would say there's even more definitely done hundreds of them. at the top of every, our tourists gather in front of the astronomical clock on the town hall facade to witness a little play. oh,
12:36 pm
but the true highlight is the clock itself. it was built in 1410, a gothic masterpiece. but even find today's standard a bit hard to read. when the sun is, there's a golden hands you see. yeah. and the golden hand is pointing to out of numbers. but the roman golden numbers in a blue satisfies at that all re and exact 3. it work of that, the 2nd let's say to just, well this is was like 12121230 does not really precise. oh yeah. so only one. but the sun, if you look, this is the hands and here's the sun. sun moves on the axis. yeah. so in summer, on a summer solstice, it's s better from the sun to as possible and on a winter. so if this as close to the center as possible, and it's interesting because you see the blue path, the red pod and black part. yeah. so when the sun is in a blue one, it's still today, then it gets to the sunset, then there's a night. and then there's the sunrise on the day. and you can see when it's closer
12:37 pm
center. yeah, it's in winter, so it gets al, you're not. and then in summer it's later, maybe about a stick. you really quickly on the bottom, you have the history and you have the archangel michael, you have the astro just and you have the philosopher. yeah. over there on the top of the guy with a merge, which represents the vanity. yeah. then you have the guy which is a greeter. you know, i don't know if you want to talk about that, but in medieval time, jewish people were the only thing they were allowed to do by with christians where banking don't have to offer you anything out of the. 1 out of the ghetto, except with doctors done, we needed them. so we allowed them nicely do and again. but what i'm trying to say is this guy is representing greeter and he's done like a jewish jewish. also, it's a lot of really politically 4th. and then there's the skeleton, discuss rings about sigh and is that it's quite remarkable that again, would be depicted in such a way in that time, is that whatever you do, the message. remember that india is the death. so just like try to fill the live
12:38 pm
as a full, full life was as much as you can. it's really beautiful. this square is a must to where every prog visitor, as you can see, we're not alone. so where are you from? we're from scotland from mexico. some come from austin, texas, from time proof. what brings you to prague? why prague? betty fuson and her foot. i think wandering about actually to just get the atmosphere is the kind of thing that we like to do. and just sort of soak it all in . it's a museum in itself. oh, it's wonderful in boys heard progress such a beautiful city and it is with telecom on which i looked at. it's true what you hear about prague, sites and culture. there was a piano player in the metro station. yeah. and music on the bridge and i was the guy. never legacy wanting to this thing for the giftings was hosting for with the structure of the town and the food and the food of food. good
12:39 pm
point. time for a little snack. christiane takes me to try a check classic with a modern twist. these are like slightly still traditional check check classes with y'all. so you running is like, oh, give me 3, give me the one with the potato. sorry. give me one with the have you eat it any road to work? oh, by the way, every single party we have new year's eve birthday parties. we have these open face and with the, i just saw a term to proc and also be a culinary experience. and if you have the time and are still hungry, i have another recommendation for you. traditional check dumplings. i promise you won't regret it. hot,
12:40 pm
spongy, fluffy, and soft days i must have side dish in the czech republic. these dumplings are a classic of cheque cuisine. cheque chefs like thomas catalina and lu. cash weggit is would have needed several 1000 dumplings in just their 1st year of apprenticeship. ready the basic recipe is simple with. so the chip dump banks who really need the chicklow. what else we want milk to ex, freshies. so sugar and the silver at the bread comes later. lou cash 1st mixes the other ingredients and needs the dough to the right consistency. then he adds the stale bread cubes, back in the day 6. how do recipe? probably father the you duck the old bread. and the dough has to rise for about 40 minutes before its formed into rolls and left to rise again. then the dumplings
12:41 pm
are ready to boil and the finish dumplings a too tender to cut with a knife in the traditional way. lu, cash used as a thread to slice the rolls because if you cut, i didn't know you squeezed the dumpling flood with warm served with goulash duck o roast, meets the dumplings arranged in finger thick slices. they compliment hearty dishes because that light, i'm fluffy, but they pack a punch. 100 grams of damn kings have 184 calories almost 3 times as many as boiled potatoes. schmidt, delicious spectacle. it's really,
12:42 pm
really good. it is also really filling as well and a few of the fight for dumplings with sauce. i'm full of any soccer. prox time on that coffee house is also service suite version checked dumplings with a free tea sweet filling. mm. these dumplings are with one of the pillars of her food that we sell in the restaurant because it's a very traditional thing. we maintain them because historically there was a big version of the thing dumplings in in this region because during the summer times approved would be all over the place. and it was a main dish of nutrients. it was sweet to get that energy from the flower and from the occur. it was the cheapest thing to eat, the cheque government even. it was a certificate to restaurants of national cuisine. they serving high quality traditional dishes like cheque dumplings can receive the checks specials, awards. mm hm
12:43 pm
. you may have heard of the writer franz kafka, perhaps even more famous than the charles birds. he's one of products, most important claims to fade. you'll run into him all around his home town, post cards and souvenir shops, or as a modern sculpture. i don't, if you can see the layers actually are moving or not and how of unfortunately, but in special like every whole hour, it's just moving into a different program. so it goes like a spiral. it goes exact different programs and because the most famous piece made by written by friends kafka is for van long my thought was, you know, the author of the sculptor called it metro marshall's as, as changing metals. this one in progress called k, apparently like kafka and blake, joseph k, which is one of the characters from his. i know, been since 2005, there's been a museum and the city dedicated. and i,
12:44 pm
early to costco the manhood one day become one of progs, most well known authors belong to the cities, german speaking minority with but fame only came after his untimely death. at 40 years of age. during his lifetime, he worked at an insurance company who was franz kafka, franz kafka when i'm you think people in prague? i'm saying progress so beautiful because they were checks, germans and juice living together and from scott christ. actually a really good example of this corporation or call living because he was a check german. and by the way, he was an alter. by the way, it was, i believe that world wide famous all through one of the definitely one of the most famous ones we have definitely, i think transcript was really interesting personally to that's what i do agree. what do we know about him as a person? because this is dedicated to his time before he even was a writer, actually it's interesting because all his life is somehow mainly connected with
12:45 pm
prague. you know, so he really loved them. he said he would never leave it unless they would burn it from both ends and also he really loft, proc tough guesswork explores existential anxiety and the absurdity of the mundane and english that even inspired a new adjective. the word cask i ask, is used to describe something bizarrely complex or night maritally illogical. by the afternoon, the charles bridge is indeed pretty crowded despite the unfavorable weather, but apparently still no comparison to the time before. the pandemic back then proc was overflowing with tour with brag, was having a bit of a problem before the pandemic with over towards. definitely, definitely. so how big of a problem is it then right now, we're slightly getting to the high numbers. but as i said before,
12:46 pm
we giving out in 2019 we had like 8000000 people coming to brock. and now we are, they say we are getting to like 5040 percent of that as a to work. i'd you, of course, want people coming to your city, right? so what's problematic about too many people coming or that amount if it is through the atmosphere. so you see all these posters like the proc castillo, charles ridge like know, people really like a roof like a roof. this romantic atmosphere, the over there isn't really kills the atmosphere and actually even destroys that thing with this image. and there's like a 1000000 tons of people coming, so it's really destroys the stuff as well. how can that be managed though? because this is a beautiful city and you've done like a great work showing it to me. thank you. but how can you keep people out? honestly, i think there's like, because we have the in the city, but we have a swell, so many beautiful districts all around the main city. i mean the, the main center. so we have like districts which were really industry. i like whole
12:47 pm
issue of it's gotta lead article then we have really push areas like vantage over and over that. so there's so many things to explore just in a widest at the center. so what i think is the solution is just to, to little bit to direct the people out of the citizens and to explore with them. these are beautiful areas. thank you so much. some are sharing your settings. we is in loveland or so with we've got some hot tips for your bucket list with magic corner tread hotspot for food and some great cultural memorials to booth w travel off we go oh, if you happen to visit prague on a rainy day. i have another recommendation for you. take
