One of the nicest buildings holding a thermal spring. It is hard to miss. Like all the other…read morethermal springs, this one tells you what the actual water temperature is, in degrees C. Some of the ones I touched felt warmer than the stated temperature. Nice tourist attraction.

This was a cool daytrip from Prague (even though I wasn't into drinking the various hot spring…read morewater spouts). You'll see springs labeled throughout the area and if you bring your own ceramic cup you can taste them. Some springs are warmer than others and some are definitely have more of an iron taste. The stone Mlýnská kolonáda (Mill Colonnade) is the biggest stone colannde and where five springs are located. There are statues and tall Renaissance-style columns throughout. This is also a good area to get spring water if its raining/snowing and you want to stay a dry for a bit. I saw people filling some large containers here. FUN FACT: Carlsbad, CA is a sister city!

We also had to pay to use the restroom facilities. Some construction going on and trash could be seen in some of areas under construction which was an eyesore. I enjoyed the fresh air and just walking around this cute, picturesque town. The buildings on the main street are new and were definitely recently built. Karlovy Vary is closer to the mountains so be prepared for the colder weather. There is a lot of interesting history and strong Russian influence further into town as they own a lot of property here. FYI: the Moser factory is a few mins away and if you can get a tour, I would go and see their quality craftmanship and glass products.

This is one of me main attractions in Karlovy Vary. You take the funicular to the top of the…read moremountain and then climb ( or take the elevator) to the top of the Tower for amazing views of the valley and town below. There's a petting zoo, a butterfly house (pay extra) and a restaurant on the top of the hill. Cute experience!
