I was surprised at the tremendous Russian community in Karlovy Vary and the restaurants are quite good. I was a bit disappointed to see the Grand Hotel Pupp wasn't as impressive as it was in the movie "Last Holiday". It was a good trip though and a nice change from Prague.

Literally means "carls bath" and was popular for the natural hot springs, which you can still drink from today with your souviner mug. Pretty and the site of a movie festival, cheap crystal. Go before they change to the Euro.

This is great place for vacation.Lots of spa all around with healthy treatmants.

the bath houses are cruising grounds

Mal schnell über das Wochenende wegfahren. Karlovy Vary war oft das Ziel und wird es wohl noch einige Male werden.

Try SPA, as well as the magical water (or whatever is this). Really picturesque!

great architecture, bir russian comunity

Three times i went to Karlovy Vary.

The best.. the ortodox church

The famous West Bohemian Spa Triangle has long been the symbol for visitors from the whole world seeking rest and health. Local healing waters are the secret of the everlasting interest in these spas, with many springs available in Karlovy Vary, Marianske and Frantiskove Lazne. Under the direction of Dr. Spisak, who has been recognized internationally, the spa has successfully treated many patients suffering from obesity. Treatments are always individualised according to the patient's condition, and are determined through initial extensive testing that reveals the individual underlining cause of each person's problem.

If you are in western europe this is the place for a spa vacation. Not only is the city beutiful the prices for spa services are some of the most resonable in europe. Things might change when this country starts using the Euro but for now go and enjoy being pampered in old world opulance.
