Karlovy Vary opens its 668th spa season. This year's edition is dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the birth of physician David Becher, founder of modern balneology, who leads the traditional historical parade. Expect the blessing of the springs, craft markets and open-air concerts.
It is the loveliest weekend to begin the season — and Hotel Hubertus is the ideal peaceful base a short distance from the action. We recommend booking your stay well in advance.
