Karlovy Vary
The epitome of an elegant Victorian spa town, Karlovy Vary (formerly Karlsbad) is neat and clean as befits its reputation for offering good health to those with wealth. Twelve hot mineral springs nourish the town’s opulent spa hotels and sanatoriums, which are complemented by colonnaded walkways and grand public buildings, all set in a forestedmore valley. Less well-heeled visitors who holiday in Karlovy Vary can imbibe the waters at drinking fountains and splash in a public mineral pool.
