Sightseeing wherever you look
The spa center of Karlovy Vary is a historical monument in itself. Its specific appearance was created by spa houses and colonnades. A wonderful walk, during which you will see most of the main attractions of the city, starts from Spa Elizabeth, located in the park named after the composer Smetana.

If you decide to continue your walk along the path bearing the name of the great Goethe, outside the city center, you will see the Art Gallery and the Hussite Church of St. Peter and Paul. From the tops of the hills, where you can climb the funicular, a beautiful panorama of the surroundings spread out in the valley of the rivers opens. There you will find a huge number of romantic forest paths, observation towers and observation platforms, including the most famous, which has become a symbol of Karlovy Vary - Deer jump.
