Highlights
Walk through Karlovy Vary at your own pace with a self-guided tour that runs entirely on your phone. No app to download and no guide to keep up with: open your Ciceru experience, follow the map and stroll between eight stops along the town's UNESCO-listed spa architecture, from Grandhotel Pupp and the Imperial Spa to the Hot Spring Colonnade, where the Vřídlo geyser rises, and the Mill Colonnade. At every stop you get an audio story about the place, then a short quiz or riddle to test what you have just heard, so it feels more like a game than a lecture. The route is about 2 km and takes around 1.5 hours, but you can pause for a coffee or a sip from the springs whenever you like. The tour is available in seven languages, and a free eSIM is included so you can stay online while you walk.

About Karlovy Vary
Karlovy Vary is a spa town in a wooded Bohemian valley, known for its hot mineral springs, pastel colonnades and an international film festival.
Karlovy Vary lies in west Bohemia, a couple of hours' drive west of Prague, where the Teplá river runs through a narrow forested valley. Hot mineral springs rise through the town, and the Vřídlo, a geyser-like spring, sends a jet of water high into the air inside a modern glass colonnade. Visitors walk the long Mill Colonnade and sip the water from small porcelain cups with a built-in spout.
Top-ranked sights in Karlovy Vary: Moser Glassworks (Sklárne Moser).
