Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně: three towns in the serial UNESCO site The Great Spa Towns of Europe (2021).

Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně have, since 2021, been part of the transnational UNESCO site The Great Spa Towns of Europe – eleven spa towns in seven countries.

To the north rise the Ore Mountains (Krušné hory), with Klínovec and Jáchymov; the Jáchymov mining landscape is part of the UNESCO site Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region (2019).

    How we chose

    • Karlovy Vary region is a tourist area, not an administrative region, so it has no official border. We draw it as an area around one reference point (between Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně).
    • Facts such as areas, dates and rules come from official bodies and Wikipedia. Each one is in the source list below, with the date we last checked it.
    • Stay DNA and the “Know before you go” panel are our editorial estimates, compared with the other places in the atlas. They are not measurements or visitor ratings.
    • We name no individual hosts, and nobody pays to be included.
