On our excursion to the spa town of Karlovy Vary, visiting this jewel of Western Bohemia, we will experience profound inner peace and tranquility. During the guided tour of Karlovy Vary, we will step into a fairytale setting, admiring the spectacular scenery and feeling like we are part of the cast of the prestigious Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, held annually in this charming town.

SYSTEM ITINERARY The Karlovy Vary excursion begins at the meeting point in Prague at 9:00 AM. The journey to Karlovy Vary takes approximately two hours.

Upon arrival in Karlovy Vary, we will discover its location nestled in a valley surrounded by forests. We will then proceed to our designated parking area.
