Karlovy Vary is the site of numerous hot springs and is the most visited spa town in the Czech Republic. The city has been used as the location for a number of film-shoots, including the 2006 films Last Holiday and box-office hit Casino Royale, both of which used the city’s Grandhotel Pupp in different guises. Moreover, the Palace Bristol Hotel in Karlovy Vary had been used as a model for The Grand Budapest Hotel movie.
We recommend planning your trip to Karlovy Vary one day before the race. Not only because the city is beautiful but also so that you have time to pick up your start number on time.
