Things to do in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic (Carlsbad)........
The town of Karlovy Vary is located in the western part of the Czech Republic at the confluence of the rivers Teplá and Ohře (Eger), about 120 km from Prague. It is the largest and most famous spa town in the Czech Republic. The town was founded in the 14th century by Charles IV. According to a legend, the emperor had it built soon after the accidental discovery of thermal springs by his hunting companions. The spa enjoyed the favour of many noble families and wealthy townsmen already in the 16th century. Due to the series of natural disasters only a few buildings from that time have survived. Most of the landmarks originate from the 18th and 19th century, when the town experienced its golden days. The town hosts innumerable cultural and sports events throughout the entire year. Many became popular among the Karlovy Vary public and tourists. One of the most popular social events is the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, which every year attracts the film fans from around the world. But the films are not only screened here. Thanking to its unique environment and architecture, Karlovy Vary has been used as a shooting location for well-known films. For example, lately it was James Bond: Casino Royale.

Scenes from Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
Karlovy Vary (German: Karlsbad; English: Carlsbad) is a spa city situated in western Bohemia, Czech Republic, on the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, approximately 130 km (81 mi) west of Prague (Praha). It is named after King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Teplá River).
In the 19th century, it became a popular tourist destination, especially known for international celebrities visiting for spa treatment. The city is also known for the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and the popular Czech liqueur Karlovarská Becherovka. The glass manufacturer Moser Glass is located in Karlovy Vary. The city has also given its name to the famous delicacy known as Carlsbad plums. These plums (usually Quetsch) are candied in hot syrup, then halved and stuffed into dried damsons; this gives them a very intense flavour.
The city has been used as the location for a number of film-shoots, including the 2006 films Last Holiday and box-office hit Casino Royale, both of which used the city's Grandhotel Pupp in different guises.

It is named after King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who founded the city in 1370. It is historically famous for its medicinal hot springs, and the warm-water Teplá River. It is the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic, and I highly recommend a visit to it. See for yourself!

Karlovy Vary is een schitterend stadje. Dit is de 3e keer, dat we deze plaats bezoeken! Goed bewaarde oudbouw langs rivier de Tepla. Een stad met een hoog Vivaldi gehalte. Je kunt wandelen langs de Colonnades of een ritje maken met een paardenkoetsje. Karslbad is een kuuroord met openbare bronnen. Je ziet hier veel mensen speciale drinkbekertjes vullen met geneeskrachtig water. Achter Hotel Pupp kun je met een baantje naar boven. Vanaf de toren op de heuvel een mooi uitzicht over de omgeving. Het kruidendrankje Berechovka wordt hier gebrouwen.
