CZECH REPUBLIC- KARLOVY VARY

When King Charles IV sampled the mineral water from a spring in the forests surrounding Loket Castle in 1350, he decided to establish a spa here. About 200 years later, Karlovy Vary was attracting famous guests from all over the world and was the pearl of the West Bohemian spa triangle, which is a favourite to earn a place on the UNESCO World heritage List.

Sample a Becherovka and spa water at Grandhotel Pupp Spot the stars at the international film festival? Soak up the high society atmosphere on the golf  course or at the racetrack? With so much to do in Karlovy Vary, you are spoilt for choice !

REASON TO VISIT   
The greatest wealth of Karlov Vary is the 12 hot mineral springs used for treating problems of the digestive tract, metabolic disorders as well as oncological and musculoskeletal diseases. You can stay at one of the dozens of beautiful spa buildings , villas or resort complexes . Among the most important hotels are the Granghotel Pupp, the Imperial Hotel and the Thermal Hotel.
