Karlovy Vary Attractions

 
Commonly referred to by its German name, Karlsbad, Karlovy Vary is a town with a rich history. Famous visitors have been coming to the town since it was founded in 1358. Some of the most famous include Peter the Great, Beethoven, Chopin, Schiller, Karl Marx and Goethe who returned 13 times.

The hot springs literally explode into the Tepla River as it flows through the city. Water jets up to 14m / 46ft high shooting out of the riverbank and creating a nearly constant steam cloud. Views of this can be seen from the Yuri Gagarin Colonnade.

There are 15 springs in all, and the town is well set up to allow visitors to steam, soak, and drink the special waters.
