Tour details

Discover the spa town of international renown. Drink the same thermal water, like many celebrities who visited this charming destination! Karlovy Vary is the most famous spa town in Western Bohemia, located about 130 km from Prague. Movies like Casino Royale (James Bond) and Last Holiday with Queen Latifah and Gerard Depardieu were filmed here. Every July, the town comes alive with the world-renowned Karlovy Vary International Film Festival and invites Czech & international actors. Nearby town Loket will enchant you by a medieval castle, towering on a rock above the town. It features a beautifully preserved historic center surrounded by stone walls. In the Middle Ages, there was a saying which says that who will conquer Loket, will conquer the whole country, and therefore Loket was nick-named “the key to the Czech kingdom.”
