Marienbad: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

As one of the eleven European spa towns with UNESCO World Heritage status, Mariánské Lázně is part of the serial UNESCO World Heritage Site “The Great Spa Towns of Europe”.

Spa Culture and History

The Hlavní lázeňská kolonáda was built in 1888–1889 in the Neo-Baroque style as a cast-iron structure. It is also known as the Kolonáda Maxima Gorkého, is considered a landmark of Mariánské Lázně and is a historic monument of Czech spa culture. The colonnade is step-free and has public toilets, including an accessible toilet.

Dům Chopin regularly hosts cultural programmes with concerts, lectures, workshops, exhibitions and film screenings. It is also home to the Památník Fryderyka Chopina, a museum on Hlavní třída dedicated to the composer’s stay in Bohemia. During the season, the Zpívající fontána plays music and shows projections with colourful lighting.

Springs and Park Landscapes

More than 100 mineral springs rise in the vicinity of Mariánské Lázně; there are around 40 in the town itself. Visitors can explore the springs on regular guided tours of the town. The park u Lesního pramene is also home to a music pavilion that serves as a café and a venue for musical performances in summer.

The Příroda parků educational trail runs mostly along the Úšovický potok. It begins above the Alexandřin pramen, passes the Ferdinandův pramen and ends at the Úšovický potok below the Prelát area. Well-maintained hiking trails lead from the colonnade through the surrounding spa forests to viewpoints, natural areas and rocky paths.

Discoveries with Children

Park Boheminium is located on the eastern edge of Mariánské Lázně. The educational circuit features true-to-scale models of important Czech architectural and technical monuments at a scale of 1:25. Přírodní park u Prelátova pramene offers children a fire pit, an obstacle course, climbing equipment and other attractions.
