Karlovy Vary & Marianske Lazne Tour From Prague

This trip combines our tour to Karlovy Vary with a visit to another Czech spa - Marianske Lazne. During this tour, you’ll have the opportunity to visit the largest, most well known Czech Spa (German name is Carlsbad). The founding of this town has been linked to Emperor Charles IV since 1358, when he built a hunting lodge here. There are 12 famous springs with a temperature of about 72°C, the most famous being Vrídlo.

During your walk along the Tepla River (its name means "warm") and the majestic Neo-Rennaissance colonnades, you will have a chance to taste different mineral waters and purchase souvenirs.

The spa was visited by many rulers and artists including Goethe, Chateaubriand, Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms and Dvorak.

After lunch (included), visit the Moser glass factory museum and glass shop. You’ll also visit the Thun porcelan shop. Next, you will go to the famous Marianske Lazne with its curative springs.
