Teplice Attractions

The town of Teplice has made a remarkable recovery from the problems which have plagued the city since World War II. The spa town was founded around the hot springs that were discovered here in the 8th Century. It is considered one of the oldest spas in Europe but the spa was not actually commercially developed until the 18th Century. Teplice was visited by such names as Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, and Goethe.

Following the end of the Second World War the German population which comprised most of the town was expelled. Even today many derelict buildings remain abandoned from this time period, giving the town a bit of a deserted feeling. The Communist Regime also took its toll on the Teplice but since 1990 restorations have been ongoing and the spa accommodation has been completely restored.

Teplice has a pleasant main square, many parks and green spaces, and is home to the North Bohemian Philharmonic Orchestra and the Krusnohorske Theatre.
