Karlovy Vary spa town

Follow the D5 and E48 for exactly 128 km and the landscape shifts to the wooded foothills of the Ore Mountains, 370–640 meters above sea level. Karlovy Vary unfolds along the Teplá River with 15 mineral springs ranging from 30 to 72°C. You’ll stroll from the Mill Colonnade to the Market Colonnade, sipping from a porcelain cup, then spot the 1896 Grandhotel Pupp and its Belle Époque neighbors. A short funicular ride to Diana Tower reveals loops of the river, beech forests, and zinc rooftops. Warm oplatky wafers crackle and caramelize as they leave the iron.

Hotel pick-up in Prague at the agreed time, then an unhurried drive with a Mercedes at your disposal all day. While your dedicated driver handles parking and timing, you taste the waters, tour the Jan Becher Museum for a Becherovka primer, or linger over afternoon tea at the Grandhotel Pupp—no clock-watching required. With a private chauffeur in western Bohemia, stops bend to your pace: colonnades, riverside promenade, the tower ascent, and a forest-road return via Bečov nad Teplou if time allows.
