Karlovy vary is about an hour from Prague by bus. Bus transport is cheap in the Czech republic so a day trip is posssible if somewhat exhausting. The things you must see are the hot springs that spurt up to 100 feet in the air, the old hotel pup that serves a very civilised afternoon tea. and the communist era hotel in the newer part of the town centre.This builing is awfull in its appearance externally, but so amazingly retro internally that you can visualise Spock appearing in the bar having transported from The Enterprise. Prices for accomodation in Karlovy Vary are comparable and can be higher than Prague.The hotels above the centre are set in attractive grounds but their customer service doesnt seem to be on a par.We were questioned rudely by a hotel manager after a jaccuzi bath overflowed.The expectation seeming to be that we would pay for the cost of cleaning up.

Advantages: Easy to get to, cheap, and fabulous scenery, plus the spring water is good for you! Disadvantages: The newer parts of town are not very welcoming
