Description

Explore Prague, Karlovy Vary & Děčín on a 4-day small group tour with spa time, beer tasting, scenic hikes, and Czech culture. Includes thermal pools, art, and local flavors.
Day 1: Prague
Welcome to the Czech Republic. Your adventure starts with a welcome meeting at 10 am in Prague – also known as The City of a Hundred Spires. After your meeting, discover the Old Town on a guided walking tour. See the main sights including the Old Town Square, Town Hall Tower, Royal Way, Charles Bridge and Mala Strana. After, spend some free time for lunch before setting out on an afternoon tour through the tree-lined streets of the Vinohrady neighborhood.

Starting in Namesti Miru (Peace Square), walk past pastel-colored art deco buildings to Jiriho z Podebrad Square before opting to stop at a local cafe for a coffee. Then, see the Church of the Most Sacred Heart, walk through the bohemian shops on Krymska Street and take in the vineyard views from Havlickovy Sady. Tonight, head out for dinner with your group at a local restaurant. Did you know that the beer in the Czech Republic has three colors – gold, amber and black (and it's recommended you try them all!).

Day 2: Karlovy Vary
This morning, travel to Karlovy Vary – a beautiful spa town known for its thermal springs and columned walkways. When you arrive, set off on an orientation walk along the river with your local leader. Over the centuries, people like Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor Franz Josef I and Goethe, Beethoven have stayed in this town, and now, it is your turn! Enjoy some free time to maybe find a local cafe for lunch before heading to Saunia Thermal Resort. Spend the afternoon relaxing in the various outdoor thermal pools with temperatures up to 38°C – including a rooftop pool with scenic views over the town.

Day 3: Decin
Lace up your walking boots and set off on a hike. After deciding to create one of Europe’s very first tourist destinations in 1881, the Austrian prince, Edmund Clary-Aldringen, hired an Italian craftsman to build an extensive summerhouse called the Falkennest (Falcon’s Nest). As you walk, learn about the history of the region and see the Falcon’s Nest and Pravcice Gate – the largest natural stone arch in mainland Europe. After your hike, the rest of the afternoon is free for you to explore at your own pace. Tonight, maybe head out for dinner with your group – a great way to celebrate your last night in the Czech Republic!

Day 4: Prague
This morning, you’ll say goodbye to Decin and travel back to Prague. Along the way, stop at DOX – an independent organization focusing on contemporary art in the Czech Republic. Spend some time wandering through the exhibitions here and learn about the region’s art, architecture and design history. After your visit, join your group for a farewell lunch at a nearby restaurant. This afternoon, as there are no further activities, your trip comes to an end. If you’d like to stay longer, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
