Prague, At The Heart Of Europe - Documentary

Prague is a magic city. At the geographic centre of Europe, this capital of a now new country boasts an incredible wealth of culture. Nestling amidst the meanders of the Vlatva river, the old city is a stone’s throw from the ultra-modern district of Karlin. The Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque, Art Nouveau and the communist regime have in turn left their mark on the city’s physiognomy. Mozart, Kafka, Mucha and many others have also left traces of their talent. Alternating cultural heritage with more contemporary themes, Pierre Brouwers shows us that Prague is anything but a museum city.

My great grandfather was from Czech Republic and his great grandfather was a mayor in the city of Prostějov. Thank you for this documentary 🙏🏻

I am from Slovakia but born in 1969 in Czechoslovakia so Prague was also my capital until 1993. In 1988-89 I served in the Czechoslovak army and lived in Prague for 4 months.
It's long time ago, but I remember the classic Prague pubs and lot of beer we drank.🤪

Just got back from my first visit to Prague. I have to say it's a wonderfully vibrant city with so much to see and do, and the people were more than happy to practice their English with you. I'm really looking forward to going back.

i'm from NYC. i'm totally jealous of all of Europe's public transportation. The trains are on another level!

As the protector of moravia and bohemia, I can tell you Prague is and will always be a precious jewel. Wish I could have been there when Rudolf the second was there, occultist were everywhere.

I need to visit Prague, beautiful city with all its historical, natural and cultural heritages, thanks for the video.

My mom's family immigrated from Czechoslovakia around 1900 through Ellis Island to the USA and fought against the Nazis in the Resistance. My grandfather knew Czechoslovakian President Edward Benes and my relatives in Czechoslovakia hid Allied pilots in their house in Hradiste.

Wow, I have always wanted to travel and see all my favorite historical places. But I dont think I've ever had a place call to me like this before.

Charles Bridge wasn't the first bridge. It replaced Judith's Bridge from the 12th century after it was destroyed by floods.

The Czech, Moravia and Prague are a part of my life since early 80ties. I love them.

Visited Praha once for 4 days, but far too short! Managed to sneak into the cemetery at night where the great Dvorak is buried. A fantasy city that should only exist in fairytales! Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful!

I think it's an enjoyable and well done travel documentary about a truly versatile, and rich European city. The photography is breathtaking and exquisite,  however the narration is somewhat simplistic and not beyond criticism. Still, if we look at the genre, and who it does aim at, than it is still one of the better one.

Prague is an astounding city, but two things that were misrepresented here: First trdelnik, doesn't have much to do with Prague. It showed up in the 90s tourist boom as a novelty item, there it has remained. Because it looks cool, people buy it then usually throw them away because they don't really like the sugary doughy substance. Second, please don't encourage the insane LOVE LOCK idiocy. Entire bridges have been destroyed by the weight of these artificial symbols. And the fact that people will spend hard earned euros on overpriced prefabricated locks with hearts on them should tell you everything you need to know. The Honest Guides have done numerous videos on the real effects of this obscene custom, including a whole episode on cutting them off to restore and save bridges.
DO NOT INDULGE THIS COMMERCIAL TREND!!
Be a good visitor, not an ugly tourist.
