Top 10 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Karlovy Vary, Bohemia

March 1, 2022 Misti Hsu

The Czech Republic's most famed spa destination, Karlovy Vary - or Carlsbad - saw 200 spa houses sprout by the end of the 1500s. The springs in this idyllic, lush, peaceful Tepla valley are said to cure an almanac's worth of metabolic and gastric issues. Visitors still flock to this town of Baroque and Art Nouveau buildings. Five beautiful Colonnades straddle hot springs where visitors try aquatherapy and drink the mineral-rich water. The town also has a respected international film festival.

Reviewed By Jana_CZ_travels - Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic

This museum is amazing. It has 2 floors. 1st floor is dedicated to the history of city Karlovy Vary and the 2nd floor is about the history and nature of the Karlovarsky region. Both exhibitions are great. There are many interactive screens (in English and in Czech language) There are objects you can touch. It is really an interactive museum that kept us entertained for a long time - we've spent there more than 3 hours. It is a great place to visit (even for children). I would definitely visit this museum again.

Vridlo

The country's warmest geothermal spring spouts from a depth of 3,000 meters at a temperature of 73 degrees Celsius.

Reviewed By romanshorner - Munich, Germany

Out of this fountain, the hot mineral water gushes up to 12 meters high. It is run only by the natural pressure of the water. The water is nearly 75°C hot. Unfortunately, we saw only the outside spring, as the building with the inside fountain was already closed. The water is from the main source of Karlovy Vary mineral waters, which is also used for bathes. When it is windy, the water is spread all over the square and you can breath the air enriched with aerosoles of mineral water. Also just watching the fountain is interesting, as the water gushes not constantly with the same speed and height.

Reviewed By phonerxx - Prague, Czech Republic

I am a big fan of this glass making manufacturer. This was possibly one of the most memorable museum experiences. The museum is very informative and involves very rare exhibits and beautiful design pieces. The factory itself is a must as well to ad on. Amazing to see hands on the whole process and get information how is it done.

Vridelni kolonada

Reviewed By tk3232 - Sugar Land, United States

Built in the1970s with a stern communist-concrete aesthetic, the Hot Spring Colonnade (Vridelni kolonada) is nevertheless a good place to begin your visit to the springs of Karlovy Vary. Inside, vendor stands sell the two main items you need to fully experience the scene: a spa cups, in my opinion are the most beautiful in the town, and some wafer cookies Oplatki. Unfortunately, inside the glass atrium, where a natural, steaming geyser should spurts 20 feet into the air was still under reconstruction when we were in September in the town. Inside there are several sources with different temperatures and the hottest in the city at 72 degrees. Good to visit this colonnade in winter time or rainy days, this is a closed building on all sides. Outside colonnade there are wonderful souvenir shops, which also sell inexpensive Czech glass, like glasses, cups and also high-end shops with crystal, vases, chandeliers - the colonnade is located in the very center of the city. Enjoy you visit in beautiful city!
