Market Colonnade: A perfect fusion of old and new

We have arrived in the charming spa town of Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic, where the famous Market Colonnade, with its historical European architecture and unique natural hot springs, attracts a large number of tourists like us to visit. The Market Colonnade has three hot springs, Charles IV Spring, Lower Castle Spring, and Market Spring. Above the Charles Spring is a copper engraving that tells the legend of the Czech King Charles IV hunting here. A small stag with a limp fled and jumped into the spring water below the mountain, and white smoke immediately rose from the water. When the deer came out of the water, the wound had healed, and the king thus discovered that the spring water could cure diseases. This is also the origin of the name of Charles IV Spring, and many people still come here for treatment and recuperation. The Market Colonnade is a place where the old and modern are perfectly combined. It not only showcases the history and culture of the town of Karlovy Vary, but also meets the needs of modern tourists, enjoying modern facilities and services. 🕒Visiting hours: Open all year round 📍Location: In the middle of the Karlovy Vary spa area on the left bank of the Teplá River.
