Western
Bohemia (Západní Čechy)
West and south-west of Prague. This is a well-known
spa region. Many famous people have stayed
in Karlsbad (Karlovy Vary)
and Marienbad (Mariánské Lázně) for spa treatments. These are beautiful towns surrounded by green
hills and thick forests, and they are relatively quiet in spite of
tourism. You can wander around, taste some of
the curative springs and spa wafers, and enjoy the leisurely atmosphere. If you like beer, you can visit the city of Plzeň (Pilsen), home of the world-famous Pilsner Urquell beer, and visit the brewery.
