Karlsbad has a almost Mediteranean climate
by globetrott
Watch out for the many palmtrees, mostly planted into the ground and therefor obviously also staying outside during the winter.
These Palmtrees make sure you get the feeling to be in the Mediteranean area.
This building is a bank and the facade is simply great with lots of Art Nouveau sculptures and golden ornaments.
Colonnades
by Makule
Try to walk thru all colonnades of the spa town and drink healing mineral water (salty and hot 60-73°C). My recommendation is not to mix water from different springs unless you will soon notice terrifying effects on your digestive tract. I have seen many tourists in the centre running in panic looking for a bathroom. :-)
Karlovy Vary - precious czech jewel

"Karlovy Vary view"
Famous for its natural thermal springs and spa centers, Karlovy Vary has an air that feels easy to breathe and a beauty that only castles from the medieval times and pictures from fairy tales can be a good comparison.
"The Hot Spring Colonnade"
A gallery of springs, the water can be tested, admired, smelled, but not for a long time ;)
"Karlovy Vary view"
The city or, more precisely, the city's spa centre, which is the most attractive from the visitors' point-of-view, is situated around the meandering Teplá River. The river has been cutting through the hilly landscape full of forests and other vegetation since ancient times.
