this is really a rip 60 minutes on d w. so you want to know what makes with love via and batting thing that way. but i'm not even allowed to work my own car and everyone with later holes and every day getting. are you ready to meet the german, gonna join me, rachel stuart on d. w. ah, ah, ah, ah.

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,

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 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 hello. this is one of these. hello, if you say hello, it's like a boy, but 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 w, nobody den that nobody, nobody them,

almost perfect. somebody that the leader, nothing. then you need it, then you should probably know how to say goodbye. yeah. not scott. no, never think i will have to stay here forever. that's 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 when your quiz really hard to say it, 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 processing because we are really influenced by germans for so many centuries. so we use it in the same case as you do. so when you don't sound like me bizarre. so i guess when you say like you welcome for us you

and as well for see could you? well, so it's really useful. oh yeah. and it's easy to remember compared to all the other ones i can put all seem perfect. ah christiane tells me that prague is full of history. the gallus 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 crowns. yep. prague as part of the you, but not the euro zone. that's about 10 years. at 41 meters still have to

city at your feet. why is prague and called the golden 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. 9 but the true right as the clock itself,

it was built in $1410.00 at 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 sky, this size at that all re and exact 3 it work of that. the 2nd, let's say this 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 in those closer center. yeah, it's in winter,

so it gets al your now 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 was christian where banking don't have to do anything out of the out of the ghetto, except they, 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 really politically correct. and then there's the skeleton discussion rings about sigh. and is that it's quite remarkable that would be depicted in such a way in that time is that whatever you do, the message is. remember that india is the death. oh,

just like try to fill the life as a full, full life. 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? where from scotland for mexico? i'm coming 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 legacy we're adding to this thing for the buildings was hosting for the structure of the town and the food and the food of food. good

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 the also you running was like, oh, give me 3, give me the one with the potato. sorry. give me one with the have you eat it and you go to work? oh, by the way, every single party we have new year's eve birthday parties. we have these open facing with 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. how spongy fluffy unsolved. these are a must have side dish. in the czech republic,

the yeast dumplings are a classic of check cuisine. check chefs, like thomas catalina and luke hash weggit is, would have needed several 1000 dumplings in just their 1st year of apprenticeship. ready the basic recipe is simple with. so the chick dumplings you really need the chicklow. what else we want milk to ex, freshies. so sugar and the so bread. the bread crumbs later. lu, cash 1st mix as the other ingredients and needs the dough to the right consistency . then he adds the stale bread cubes back in the day, spits 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

are ready to boil and the finish dumped in a to 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 squeeze 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 taste really, really good. but it is also really filling

a fight for dumplings with sauce. i'm full of any soccer. prox time honors coffee house is also service suite version checked dumplings with a fruity 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 time, the food would be all over the place and it was a main dish of nutrients it was. we could 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 check dumplings can receive the checks specials, awards. mm hm

. 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 fail. 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 so 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 in the city dedicated entirely to kafka. the man who'd one day b,

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 from south africa when i'm you think people in prague i'm st. progress so beautiful because they were checks, germans and juice living together. and from scott, guys, actually i really good example of this corporation or call living because he was a check george, german. and by the way, he was an altar. by the way, it was, i learned 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. i agree. what do we know about him as a person? because this is dedicated to his time before he even was a, a writer actually it's interesting because all his life is somehow mainly connected

with 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 tough guy ask is used to describe something bizarrely complex or night maritally illogical. boy, 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, we giving in 2019 we had like 8000000 people coming to brock. and now we are,

they say we are getting to like 5040 person of that as a tour guide. 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, you know, you see all these posters like the proc castillo, or charles ridge like no people really like a room like a rule 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? so 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 a city, but we have a swell, so many beautiful district. all around the main city, i mean the, the main center. so we have like districts which were really industry. i like whole issue of it's, i got a lean article then we have really push areas like vantage over and over that. so

there's so many things to explore just in a wider city center. so what i think is the solution is just to, to little bit direct the people out of the city center and to explore with them. these are beautiful areas. thank you so much. so much sharing your settings. we is in loveland. you're meeting with we've got some hot tips for your bucket list with magic corner check hot spot for food, please check and some great cultural, laborious to boot camp w, travel off we go. oh if you happen to visit prague on a rainy day, i have another recommend for you. take

a little spin on the valve cover. mm hm. i'm joined by sonya, she's a prog native and has worked as a guide in her home town for the past 15 years. mm. mm. how important is the river for the people of the most important because it santia in south carolina and it ends in humbler. yeah. so which mean it was a, it was a trade, it was a lot to way on for life to bring to products. the brand isn't very interesting because the other side and the market because that's how it's not civil to build a market because you want to know a area which mean demonica to flood will suck showing here. so they need to build

a market here, and you have to have the connection, in fact, went to casa and the market. so the charles bridge was already an important next is back that the bridge was built with no statues on there was a kind of like craig and spook break by this fact. he was way at it in the 17th century. and it's catholic propaganda. we were not catholics, we were reformers. yeah. so which mean we lost the wall? what to do with? does you have to be catholic? so let's to play. that's these documents, and you don't need to go to church because every single statue is a veteran and the saying, and you can pray do it. right. if people come to pray, oh yes, we have the john neck from oak on the bridge and he was the confessor. so the people was confessing. those are stock you because they said he is a right one. and the priest are not the right one because they are not behaving accord to the bible. so they were coming to confess. this is thought you of tongue

of naples rather than going to the church. sonya wants to show me a different part of frock beyond the old town, a neighbourhood where the actual locals live and tourists are still a bit of a rarity. we're off to o leisure, it's the hip part of town. fancy wilhelmina and buildings in a district that grew during the industrialization. this is where sonia lives. she takes me to a favorite cafe. so could i not and he needs done with my whole feel like it. kidding me. it's one of my favorite grocery is so unexpected . i know that's like some think like a small paradise,

a little paradise. exactly. so there are a lot of different plans and you can be sitting here all ways and the co phrase, very good or making ever seen home made and really, really good. one good coffee. you don't have to tell me twice with sonya explains that only 20 years ago or less of it. there was a gray and dull part of town that is seen a lot of change in the past year. and they chose to live here. what does that you appreciate about how leisure mid july i did for you durham, m d a. relax. no rush. i ever seen. what i need for my living is here. i don't

need to, as i mentioned before, i do need to go to the city center and the price is lower than the touristic center. therefore, we do not live to dine. so we're in the center center because the prizes are here for us better. and we have 2 daughters of baba baker river. there is on a doris round. that is a tea room here. you can choose what you, i have everything your name. exactly. so if you would like to meet check people come here and enjoy living to us. because we apply a very hard to opening people and we like to speak with the foreigners finally, sonya takes me back to the old town here too. you can find corners that are not overrun before we finally try some of the famous jack b, or she wants to show me something. the bar she has taken me to was built on the remnants of one of the oldest houses in prague. looks like it must have been

a pretty lavish house or the time. right. this is the name of the house is at cooney. dondo crunched on there was a really very fame most rich family. and one of our king came from the family. oh, which means we are speaking about the money here, the real in money, by best the family didn't live here. that was for the soldiers. okay. so so interest flip had to perfect a family, the family on. that's the 1st floor. so which means here they have to really so help and protect the family in the case of an attack on the 1st floor today, the pub crunch dot to where you can choose between 100 different kinds of beer. with where better to learn about the countries favorite drink. any luck with

them. ah, knight has fallen and time has come to bid product farewell back, where it all started on charles bridge. mm mm. and even in this time, i'm not entirely by myself. the mass tourism that late the city before the pandemic has not returned the way many fear. mm. and hate, who can blame people for being attracted to this beauty? it's a perfect blend of history and modernity with so much to offer, especially off the beaten path with
