Karlovy Vary - the city is small, even, perhaps, compact. There is no linguistic barrier, sometimes it seems that his population is Russian completely. In fact, in part, it is certainly for the tradition, headed from Soviet times, when the rest abroad was a unrealized dream, but if it was unknown to get somewhere, then only to the Czech Republic or Bulgaria. Gathering on holidays to Europe, I took a few days to get acquainted with this resort, and therefore I decided to kill and booked a room at the Pupp Hotel, in which Gorbachev and other "royal" lived. I did it inexpensively, because I try to travel more and use big discounts.
As a matter of fact, the city and begins with this hotel, there is also a funicular on which it is necessary to climb. - From the height of the town is not an incredibly! Bright tiled roofs, located at different levels of the nations, draw bizarre landscapes, alternating with a juicy greens. The guide for Karlovy Varam is not needed, it is enough to reach the waterfront of the heat and go along the river, if desired, moving to the other side. There are almost no residential buildings on the embankment, there are hotels, restaurants, cafes, it is also the main part of the city. You can eat tasty at every step, the portions of the Bogatyr, and therefore do not rush to order a meal of three dishes - most likely do not master even one hot. If you are not chasing the paphos type of flames from a deer with truffles, go to any cafe with an adequate facade, we have been friends together for 50 euros, the tasteless kitchen did not meet me there. Mass branded boutiques at quite loyal prices, everything is really all, not as an example, the famous Paris street in Prague.
Considering the size of the city, the attractions are also miniature, located within walking distance. Because Karlovy Varya resort with healing sources, then the inspection should be started with a geysersal collendade, where the water in temperature is 73 degrees Celsius from a two-kilometer depth. Therapeutic sources are shown in different diseases of individual, so do not hurry to immediately join the use - the gastrointestinal tract will most likely respond unexpectedly.
Most of all I personally liked the Glass Museum "Moser" and the Museum of Jan Becher, the creator of the famous Becherovka. Although, fairness, it is worth noting that you can inspect the old castle in Karlovy Vary, the art gallery and Goethe castle.
In any case, the attractions in the evening will end, and if your goal is not preventing diseases, you frankly borrow. There will be no discos and club parties, and the holidays, based on their walking along the river, are engaged in Scandinavian walking or coming in restaurants.
After spending a few days in Karlovy Vary, I understood - this resort is treated with those who are fortunately, nothing is sick. Visit with a sightseeing excursion - be sure to be treated or for a long time - not for me.
