Most of our guests visit Karlovy Vary as a day trip from Prague, but we can offer tours for those staying in town, and help them choose between the countless spas. Karlovy is a romantic setting popular with couples. Each July, the Karlovy Vary Film Festival comes to town for a week, so if your travel dates correspond with the festival, Karlovy Vary is worth considering, even if hotel rates shoot up into the stratosphere. Otherwise, Karlovy Vary is the ideal town for a stroll, with its its impressive white colonnades and rejuvenating natural mineral water found in fountains around town. The Moser glass factory, less than a ten minute drive from the town center, is a must-see, its inexpensive museum and glassworks tour well worth your time. One of our favorite things to do in Karlovy Vary when the weather cooperates is to go for a swim in the outdoor pool at the Communist-era Hotel Thermal. The deck there affords fantastic views of the town, and because you're at Thermal, you don't have it spoiling your view!
