WELCOME TO KARLOVY VARY
THE MOST FAMOUS SPA TOWN OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Karlovy Vary lies in West Bohemia at the confluence of the Teplá River and the Ohře River, about 120 km west of Prague. It is the largest and best known spa city in the Czech Republic. It became world known thanks to its unique hot mineral springs. The international fame of the spa city was contributed to by its balnelogical heritage, the international film festival and some of Karlovy Vary's typical products (Becherovka, traditional spa wafers, Moser or Thun with Karlovy Vary). The city was founded in the 14th century by Charles IV. According to a legend, the Emperor had the city built soon after the accidental discovery of thermal springs by his hunting entourage. Most architectonic monuments originated in the 18th and the 19th century when the city lived the "period of plenitude".

THERMAL SPRING

The Thermal Colonnade is the place where the Thermal Spring makes its way to the surface. The colonnade structure was built in the years 1971– 1975 and is one of several buildings encompassing this unique spring. he Thermal Spring can spurt up to 12 m, thus discharging 2.000 liters of hot water and 5.000 liters of carbon dioxide from the underground every minute. The esplanade hall that is open daily from 6 a.m. until 7 p. m. lets you admire not only the Thermal Spring fountains but also another 5 spring outlets.

MILL COLONNADE

Karlovy Vary is a spa city well known for its colonnades. If you walk away from the Thermal Hotel down the stream of the Tepla River, you will soon come across the Park Colonnade located in Dvořák Park. Several meters further, the largest colonnade – the Mill Colonnade was built in the year 1871–1881. The colonnade roof is carried on 124 majestic columns among which five springs spurt out. The sixth spring is found in the open space in front of the colonnade, opposite the orchestra platform.

DIANA LOOKOUT TOWER

Diana towers 547 meters above sea level in the spa forests in the vicinity of the Grandhotel Pupp. It was erected in 1914 since when it has been offering a wonderful view of the whole of Karlovy Vary and its surroundings.

JAN BECHER MUZEUM

Becherovka is inherently connected with Karlovy Vary that has its "JAN BECHER MUZEUM". The Becher liqueur, or 'Becherovka', was first made produced by Josef Becher at his chemist shop in 1807. First, he sold it in vials as gastric drops. The Czech name "Becherovka" has been officially used since the foundation of Czechoslovakia in 1918. For more than 200 years, the very production of the liqueur has been shrouded with mystery.

THERMAL SPAS

Relaxation massages, whirlpool baths, pleasant warm wraps and packs are not available only to the spa patients. The spa sanatoriums offer a wide range of wellness and beauty programs. "Alžbětiny lázně" is the biggest public spa in the Czech Republic.

GLASSWORKS MOSER

The new Moser Museum offers a unique look at the history of the glassworks. The newly designed, modern exposition offers an absorbing tour, which maps over 150 years of the glassworks' history. The tour presents famous owners of luxury Moser glass, together with pieces ranging from the oldest examples of glass work to contemporary collections, with more than 2.000 exhibits on display. The exhibition is supplemented by 7 documentaries in 9 international languages.

SPA FORESTS

Besides walks on colonnades and esplanades, you should also direct your steps into the calm and quiet environment of the spa forests. We recommend going on a walk to Charles IV belvedere or to a place called Deer Jump.

POST OFFICE MANOR

The Post Office Manor has stood at the edge of the spa zone for more 200 years. This building comes from the end of the 18th century. Its classicist exterior and romantic interior inspire the place with unforgettable atmosphere. The restaurant offers a rich menu comprising Czech and international specialties as well as a broad choice of alcoholic and soft drinks.

SPORTS GROUNDS

Whether you are an active or passive sports fan, Karlovy Vary has a lot to offer. In addition to regular sports grounds, there are golf courses, tennis courts, extra league ice-hockey matches or horse race tracks.

KARLOVY VARY SOUVENIRS

When you pack your baggage, make sure you take home several things typical of Karlovy Vary (Becherovka, traditional spa wafers, Moser or Thun with Karlovy Vary).
