ABOUT THE TOUR
A UNESCO Czech spa town without planning
Karlovy Vary is the most renowned spa town in the Czech Republic, listed since 2021 on the UNESCO Great Spa Towns of Europe list. The cure tradition dates back to the 14th century, and Hotel Pupp, Carlsbad Plaza and Imperial have welcomed premium guests from across Europe for over a hundred years.
From Krakow the drive is around 4h45, from Wroclaw — around 3h15. We run the tour as a multi-departure: pickup from either city and return to the same address in the evening. In Karlovy Vary you have several hours for the colonnades, lunch, Diana Tower and a visit to one of the most renowned restaurants at Hotel Pupp.
The tour suits guests who appreciate a calm day — no museums with tickets, no mandatory entries. It is, above all, the experience of a spa town: a walk along the colonnades, the taste of warm mineral water from a porcelain cup and traditional Mattoni wafers.

PRACTICAL INFO
What to know before the trip
Documents
Poland and the Czech Republic are in the Schengen zone — a valid ID or passport is enough. No border checks.
Seasonality
Karlovy Vary works year-round. July is the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) — the town is then full. May, June and September are quieter.
Currency
The Czech Republic uses the Czech koruna (CZK). Most restaurants at Hotel Pupp and Carlsbad Plaza accept cards and euro, but for smaller purchases keep a few hundred koruna in cash.
Dress code
Comfortable shoes (the colonnades have a slight slope and cobblestones). A light jacket for evenings in summer. Full winter clothing in winter — Karlovy Vary lies in a valley and can be cooler than Krakow.
Spa wafers
Traditional Karlovarske oplatky are available everywhere. The most renowned are Kolonada and Mattoni — they differ in thickness and filling. A great gift.
Porcelain cup
The characteristic cup with a side spout (where you sip the mineral water) is the quintessential Karlovy Vary souvenir. Best quality: Thun 1794.
FAQ

Around 440 km via Upper Silesia, Brno and Pilsen. The drive takes ~4h45 one way. From Wroclaw: 270 km and ~3h15.
Is 12 hours enough?
Yes. The tour is single-day and gives ~5-6 hours of walking around the spa town — enough for the colonnades, lunch and Diana Tower. For a deeper experience, consider a 2-day stay with overnight at Hotel Pupp.

Yes. We often combine the transfer with disposal during a cure stay at Hotel Pupp, Carlsbad Plaza or Imperial. Contact us to plan an individual program.
TESTIMONIALS
What our guests say
Karlovy Vary in one day sounded ambitious, but it was perfectly planned. Mercedes from the hotel, a chauffeur who pointed out Mlynska colonnade and recommended lunch at Embassy. Zero logistical stress.
We left from Wroclaw, so the route was shorter. Hotel Pupp at lunch was impressive — the chauffeur booked the table in advance. By the evening we were back in Wroclaw, as if we had only stepped out for lunch.
Souvenirs — a porcelain cup with a spout and Mattoni wafers. A great day, plenty of walking, an ideal return.
