Karlovy Vary City Tour
In the Karlovy Vary City Tour, we will witness amazing architectural landmarks of the city which originated between the 18th and 19th century, when Karlovy Vary experienced its golden days. Among famous past visitors of Karlovy Vary are Russian tsar Peter the Great and poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, who both praised the healing effects of the mineral springs. All of the 12 healing springs are free to taste in beautifully decorated colonnades set along the Tepla River and the largest and hottest spring belches its curative water to a height of 17 m. Splendid example of the colonnade architecture is the cast-iron Park Colonnade surrounded by greenery of the Dvořák Park or the Neo-Renaissance Mill Colonnade whose roof is carried on 124 majestic Corinthian columns. During your walk on picturesque boulevards and colonnades you can taste the traditional spa wafers as well as the well-known 13th spring of Karlovy Vary – the Becher liquor or Becherovka.
