Karlovy Vary lies in West Bohemia at the confluence of the Teplá River and the Ohre River, about 120 km west of Prague. It is the largest and best known spa city in the Czech Republic.
In the 19th century, it became a popular tourist destination, especially for international celebrities visiting for spa treatment.
The international fame of the spa city was contributed to by its balneological heritage, the international film festival and some of Karlovy Vary’s typical products. Many people automatically associate the words Becherovka (
