I was in Prague last year, and this city is truly captivating. On one hand, it’s very lively, but on the other hand, it’s so calm and sophisticated, the kind of place where you want to spend time. Just amazing.

I live in Prague and I have to say that I never saw or met a 21 yo student with such classy flat, I mac and such mature manners :) All my friends are inteligent people with universities and all struggle to survive due to high cost of rents and food here. Just facts.
Anyway it works as a positive commercial.

Prague is one of my top five euro capitals. I love their youthful people, beer culture, easy public transport, etc.

[olrajchl]

Knowing that Roza is in the city, is making Prague much more pretty!

I visited Prague in 1986 when still under communist control. Absolutely stunning city and fascinating culture. It is on my bucket list to visit again.

Went for the first time in 2003 - twice in the same month. Fell in love with it and moved there several years later.

Prague is the most beautiful city in the world! 💗💖

[Twilightsfavquill]

I really want to visit Prague next year, the city looks super cool! I am so happy that I get to experience so many different cultures without the need to file a visa.

Great video! A very real insight into to everyday lives of Czech students. Even though being working student myself, I found it surpirising that over 90% of students work while stydying. I cannot decide if it is good or bad. It shows the students determination and will to work, but on the other hand also our critical financial situation...

Loove ❤🎉. She shows completely down to ground life here. Despite being much older and also mum of 2 yrs old boy 50% of day to day would look the same and also the attitude/opinions - on the same page with Roz! Greetings from our beautiful Prague ❤

Very nice and recognizable insight of Prague. I'm half Czech, half Dutch. My parents met and married in Prague during Prague Spring. I was born in the Netherlands after the WP invasion, but spent many holidays at my grandparents in Prague since I was born. I know the city also very well from the very grey communist times. Hardly any westerners there, almost nothing to buy of any interest and all buildings very grey from polution. After the construction of the metro in the centre things started to change in the city and the big change was of course the velvet revolution. I was a student myself in those days and followed it very closely and emotionally. I still consider Prague proudly as my hometown and gives me goosebumps every time I visit it, sometimes guiding friends who join us. Will be there again next week with my family to experience christmass. Veselé Vánoce!

Prague is extremely beautiful. Gotta be honest, I was underwhelmed with Paris when I went to Prague and Budapest. I found both cities extremely beautiful.

I am German and already worked in Prague also also in Germany - the salary gap between the 2 countries is closing slowly - also comparing the brut salaries in both countries is misleading and the tax rates in Germany are way higher. In Germany I just get 62% of my brut salary net, in Czech Republic it was 75%. Czech people should be more confident it’s a beautiful country and they talk themselves in my personal experience poorer than they are ✌️

The most beautiful City i have been to 4 times and still i feel i can keep exploring there and finding new places to photograph I absolutely love Prague and the people are friendly

[Pete-pdtr]

Can't wait to have my pilsner beer and enjoy the Xmassy Praha atmosphere and vibe! Hope it will snow as well

[americancheese]

One thing we can all agree - Czech women are stunning!

[RevanSK]

I am from Slovakia and Prague is still my capital city ❤

[sumosprojects]

Beautiful city, beer is great & local people very friendly

[AdamGordon]

I am here right now. I love it. The history is so interesting. The people are so kind. The food is great. Everything is interesting. It's easy to get around even if the traffic is bad. I would love to call this place home.
