Karlovy Vary: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Karlovy Vary (Karlsbad) has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site “The Great Spa Towns of Europe” or “Great Spas of Europe” since 2021.

Culture

The Zámecká věž is the last surviving part of a Gothic castle that Emperor Charles IV had built around 1358. The Zámecká věž houses an exhibition and offers a picturesque view of the spa district of Karlovy Vary. The Mlýnská kolonáda is a Neo-Renaissance stone colonnade built between 1871 and 1881 according to a design by the architect Josef Zítek. Five hot springs rise inside it: Mlýnský, Libušin, Knížete Václava, Rusalčin and Skalní. The Vřídlo produces an average of 2,000 litres of mineral water per minute.

The Karlovy Vary City Theatre was built between 1884 and 1886 based on designs by the architects F. Fellner and H. Helmer. The permanent exhibition at the Muzeum Karlovy Vary provides a general insight into the history and natural environment of the Karlovy Vary region and covers, among other things, the development of the spa town from the 15th century to the present day. The Moser glassworks offers guided tours of its glassworks in Karlovy Vary.
