Teda to je paráda, díky moc za video, jako rodilá Pražanka, která spatřila světlo světa dost let po válce, si film opravdu užívám! Ještě jednou, děkuji!

Hardly any ads on the streets. It's very soothing.

[DusanPavlicek]

Wow, this is really fascinating!
I live in Prague, so these images are particularly meaningful to me. It's so interesting to see all these well known places the way they were in 1946. Particularly the Old Town Hall being reconstructed (0:50) after it was severely damaged at the end of the Second World War.

And btw, Pražská YMKA (6:28) means Prague Y.M.C.A.
The banner at 7:57 contains a rhyming advertisement for the local cafe, milk bar and a restaurant where you can refresh yourself and reach your new fitness potential.

Преди дни бях в прекрасната Прага. От тълпите туристи не може да се види и почувства в пълна степен красотата на града във вида, който е показан в архивните кадри. Благодаря за разходката в миналото. Сърдечно от България

[CFM]

It's hard not to adore a smile from ~80 years ago

[David-khxp]

Even today, Prague still has the same look, similar to Paris. Well done film.

[Messi-ko]

Europe has really a beauty and an elegance that is unmatched

[DiGiTaLmEnAcE]

As much as I am a MAJOR fan of your videos of the beauty of the past and personally would love to see something about Philly (outside of a train) I swear you have a time machine. Still keep up the PHENOMENAL work.

[th_ral_ghst]

Always wondered how my country looked in those days (especially with colors). Thank you for making it possible ;) Greetings from Czechia!

[LadyBlanche.]

Absolutely stunning how you have achieved this! Your work is wonderful and I so enjoy my time travels! ❤ 💐

[ginettesos]

Beautiful work on the remastering. You could step into it. Love the sound design.

[mipveec]

Tak v téhle době bylo mojí mámě 15 let, narodila se na starém městě u

[kapitanrostak]

Tohle ve mě vzbouzí nostalgii k časům, ve kterých jsem nikdy nežil.

[Morytube]

Zajímalo by mne, z jakého důvodu byl na Staroměstském náměstí vyvěšený smuteční prapor… Jinak je to nádhera, prosím více takových zrestaurovaných filmů z území Československa. ❤

[magno]

Wenceslao Square, old tradicional buildings. Absolutely valuable material. Years after the World War II .unfortunately, after 79 years, the world still is talking about wars.We have been incompetent History students 🤔. As always Historical footages. Thank you!👏👏💐
