City Map

City Introduction

Karlovy Vary is one of the famous spa towns in the northwestern part of the Czech Republic. The city is located at the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, and it is named after its founder, Charles IV, who was King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor. Karlovy Vary was founded in 1349, and the reason was the presence of hot springs, which since then boosted a great economy from tourists arriving from most parts of the world.

In Karlovy Vary you can enjoy some lovely walks in the cozy centre, where elegant architecture characterizes the cityscape. It is especially along the banks of the river Teplá that you can explore the characteristic Karlovy Vary from the time when the city became one of Europe’s most visited spa towns. There are squares, parks, hotels, spas and, of course, the view of the city’s beautiful buildings in, for example, Lázeňská street.

You can see and visit many of the classic spas, of which Alžbětiny lázně, Císařské lázně and Zámecké Lazně are among the highlights. Karlovy Vary is also known for the colonnades, which are in several places in the city’s streets. Here you should see Mlýnská kolonáda, Sadová kolonáda and Tržní kolonáda, all built in the early 1880s. You can also see the more modern Vřídelní kolonáda.

There are other attractions in Karlovy Vary as well, such as Grandhotel Pupp and Hotel Imperial, and there are also several beautiful churches in the city. These are Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer’s beautiful baroque church from the 1730s, Kostel svaté Máří Magdaleny, and the Russian Orthodox Church of Karlovy Vary. You can drive to the nearby towns of Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně too, if you want to enjoy more classic spa towns and architecture.
