Karlovy Vary
Bohemian spa glamour meets forested hillsides, where colonnades, springs, and 19th-century elegance define the scene. In Karlovy Vary, sip warm mineral waters from graceful fountains beneath the grand arches of the Mill Colonnade, or descend into the steamy depths of the Hot Spring's underground thermal system. Ride the funicular to the Diana Tower for panoramic forest views, then stroll back through leafy parks lined with pastel spa villas. Step into the opulent Grandhotel Pupp, famously featured in Casino Royale, or taste the town’s signature herbal liqueur at the Jan Becher Museum. Wander elegant riverside promenades and browse porcelain shops and chocolateries as you soak in the town’s old-world spa charm and cinematic sophistication.
