The Karlovy Vary City Guides answer what every visitor wonders: where to eat svíčková without paying promenade prices, which colonnade and hot spring to start with, how to reach Loket or the Ore Mountains by bus or train and where the town still has a drink after the spa quarter goes quiet. Each guide is a short, opinionated list with the reason to go, what to order and one practical tip for every place, and it opens in your browser the minute you pay.

Three places from the guides
U Křížovníků
Moravská 2, behind the Hot Spring Colonnade
Easy to walk past, yet the best-value Czech kitchen near the springs: svíčková with dumplings, roast duck and schnitzel in large portions, with draught beer that undercuts the promenade. From the food guide.
Vinárna u Lukáše
Petra Velikého 2, below the Orthodox church
A snug little wine bar with a handful of outdoor tables, small plates to go with the glass and live music on some evenings. It feels like a neighbourhood local, not a spa-town stop. From the nightlife guide.
State Castle Bečov
Bečov nad Teplou, about 40 minutes by train
The castle that guards the Reliquary of St Maurus, a gold Romanesque shrine hidden under a chapel floor in 1945 and only recovered by police forty years later. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days with the guides
Day one: walk the colonnades from the Hot Spring geyser to the Park Colonnade with a cup in hand, buy a warm wafer, eat lunch one street back from the river, then ride the funicular to the Diana tower and end the evening in the bars around T. G. Masaryka. Day two: tour the Becherovka cellars or watch the Moser glassblowers in the morning, then take a short bus to Loket Castle above the Ohře. For a rainy or slow day: the town museum, the Kaiserbad Spa, a few hours at the public pool and an evening at the theatre or a symphony concert.
