Karlovy Vary was founded in 1370 and it is historically famous for its hot springs (13 main springs, about 300 smaller springs, and the warm-water Tepl?° River). Eventually as we reached the floor of the valley, the town of Karlovy Vary (aka Carlsbad) appeared out of the tree line. Coming from Lincolnshire in the UK, it was home away from home!Īfter a couple of hours, we pulled off the main highway and the taxi wound it‚Äôs way into the hillside along a mountain road and once at the top we journeyed down into a valley which was thick with high trees. The long journey from the airport did give us the opportunity to take in the beautiful countryside and as most tourists tend to remain in the Prague area, we were treated to some fine greenery and billiard board landscapes. We used Prague Airport Transfers and they proved to be friendly, reliable, easy to book as well as being cost effective check out their website on for more details. You need to be careful which taxi company to use and it‚Äôs recommended that you pre-book this as there are unlicensed taxi drivers hovering the arrivals hall and the Prague taxi drivers have a poor reputation for inflated fares and unscrupulous applying of exchange rates. The latter it transpires is the cheaper option, but it still costs ¬£135 return by taxi due to the distance and with no motorway link, it takes two hours between the airport and the hotel. Now, having never visited the Czech Republic and discovering that the Grand Hotel Pupp, Karlovy Vary is 100km west of the Prague, you have two choices, either to rely on the hotel to arrange your transfer, or arrange your own.

Couple of hours later we landed and thankfully the other groups headed off for their Prague hotel transfers and we were met by our taxi driver. We flew out of London on the earliest morning Friday flight with the usual mix of Czechs returning home for the weekend and the more animated groups of stag and hen parties. Well I booked a wedding anniversary weekend away (June ‚Äô08) as a treat for the wife and all she was told was that it would be a mysterious and romantic weekend somewhere in Europe ‚Äì but with a twist. This is review posted to other JBL site after trip. Yes, that's the one I did for wedding anniversary.

You can even book the Bond like room at hotel Pupp/Splendid.
