be a fun little video today before we get started please make sure you hit that subscribe button click that bell and go ahead and hit that like button as well okay the Prague city gardens is massive it's about 50 hectares which is a hundred thousand square meters wow it's basically it's not just a botanical garden it also has several other features as a zoo attached there's a vineyard attached to it as well I mean so many features are attached to this it's just amazing I had to like you know get some photos of the herbs are at the top the lavender the time they had but that's probably not what you're mostly interested in you know just seeing little photos of herbs it's not as exciting when you've got lots of beautiful flowers around though this white sage is mighty nice I do like it myself whoo there we go flowers oh yeah look at that pizzazz for you so yeah there's lots of different flowers lots of wonderful displays it's a really well-taken care of area given the size of everything and I it's really impressive how well some of it's taken care of me some of it looks like a good British garden where they kind of just throw everything in there and let it just bloom like crazy but other places are very well taken care of like this the Japanese Zen garden area is amazing as all these bonsai plants up on their own little stands like this and it has a little Zen garden area with the sand and everything but lots of these wonderful bonsais everywhere it's I mean it's just wonderful it's a very popular area this really nice well put together path there's the Zen garden I was talking about yeah it's a big area and in itself and pumpkins hey I actually had a little pumpkin festival going on when we were there and they had all these little crates and collections of pumpkins hanging out there all different kinds you know pumpkin mania yeah lots of fun Gord I mean there's nothing else I can say about it is just a variety of pumpkins like these and then they had a little mini greenhouse but it wasn't very nice so well let's just skip this let's go over and hang out in a hammock which is what we did they had these hammocks out there we hang up watch the view for a little bit before moving on to these weird things these sculptures they have a lot of different weird sculptures around this town we're gonna get into that later yeah hey who's your new friend there nice giraffe you got or whatever that is I don't understand them but who fly my friend fly yes be free I'll just have a little fun with slow motion camera this also they had this weird little structure here not much to look at it fun from the inside but there's mainly there so you can really admire the view which is you know the impressive part boom and then teepees so many non sequit is in this place why are teepees here I don't know but they have bees I love bees bees are great I can take bees any time of the day so did lots of flowers around here that had they were well populated by my be friends I do love them wasn't exactly the season to see lots of wonderful flowers here but they did have plenty that were out and these rows here were very impressive like I said this is one of these areas that's really well taken care of all along this well constructed path very beautiful and they also had a little desert area as well I mean that's how big this place is there is displays for almost everything and they had a greenhouse set up for this specifically with all of the different succulents and cacti it's a yeah very nice little area for especially my friends who love the succulents or go gaga over this I'm sure very cool displays I don't have much else to say about it but it's like some of these ones really cool I really like this one then outside there a little pond area with some little tadpoles in it show me the tadpoles little things are they cute moving around in the air hello little tadpoles and then we took a walk down to go see the Fata Morgana greenhouse whoo this place is amazing I can't wait for you to see it wait what what do you mean it's closed yeah unfortunately it was locked down for repairs while we're there so sad but anyways here's more flowers oh okay I want you to prepare yourself because Prague while being a very beautiful city is also a very bizarre city with its artwork like this one very famous piece but very odd very very odd artwork all like this these sculptures what is it yes I mean I don't understand a lot that that there this this one of Sigmund Freud hanging up this you know this head of Sigmund Freud as well or I'm sure this is Franz Kafka here but this was really cool this is why my favorite sculpture I mean this is a very famous one it continually turns around like this his head spinning around in different forms very cool I mean but yeah Prague is odd that way and that's part of the reason I love it it's got all of these bizarre sculptures are next to really beautiful traditional ones like these big beautiful traditional castles and churches and obelisks hey those two okay now here we go the Prague astronomical clock tower is the third oldest astronomical clock in the world they actually did a complete replica of it in Seoul Korea now the really interesting fact about this one is there's a legend that says that the brains behind the creation of it Hannas Carolinum I hope that's right was blinded by the old town counselors with a hot poker because they did this out of fear that he would recreate the clock in another city well very brutal and very unnecessary because they did it anyways somebody still recreated it see don't be mean people be nice to each other there's lots of wonderful things around the city that lots of old ancient architecture there's even big tall bears but we also found some interesting garden areas around this old ancient church here as well this little abbey essentially and then the grand there's more bizarre artwork as well on the main strip here they had these various sculptures set up so it is it's a city of modern art that's very bizarre and next to these old buildings which are very beautiful and interesting and it's hard to say just how cool that is you know it's from my mind I loved how you have the old with the new and how Prague is this wonderful mishmash of all that it's just so unique and interesting in that respect and when I go travel I love finding these unique and interesting things you know I don't like going to the big famous places like this the Charles Bridge has some nice sculptures but it's also incredibly busy I am lots of people are on that bridge all the time I like going around and finding the more unique what parts and odd parts you know like that that's not gonna keep me up at night or anything but there's a little bit windy while we're there to hang on Rachel we'll make it yeah yeah it was very windy that day Carol Zeeman he was an old director from Prague and he created all these interesting instruments and really he was kind of a pioneer with a lot of special effects and that he created a lot of things that were practical effects that were used for a long time that really helps spur people's minds to make him create new things that are really interesting but some fun photos of us enjoying some of his tricks that he used for his films but things like this are what make Prague just so interesting to go visit and check out there's there's just so many wonderful classical pieces surrounded by weird artwork and then you have things like this where there's a hard wrecked cafe with a beautiful artwork right on top of it I mean that's Prague that is Prague in a microcosm right there it's this wonderful mismatch of old and new and that's why I love it and then there's amazing hot chocolate there as well I'm a big drinking chocolate fan and man they had some good ones here oh yeah chocolate coffee you guys rock so many good ones and then on top of it all you got the Prague Castle which is the largest castle in the world the castle is a hundred and thirty meters wide and it's over seventy thousand square meters of land that's 18 acres and it dates all the way back to the 9th century it's huge so I mean I can't say enough about Prague and its gardens it's got so much wonderful artwork and the gardens were amazing as well the ones that we found and all the buildings were incredible you know it's turned into a bit of a tourist trap but it's still an amazing beautiful city if you get a chance to visit there I mean they have like 1.8 million people and they had like six million visitors there on average so yeah they get a little bit overwhelmed with the tourists so that's my tour baby I hope you guys have a wonderful day we'll catch you next time make sure you
