Bridge over the Teplá River in Karlovy Vary
Highlight • Bridge
The Teplá (German Tepl) is a river in northwest Bohemia in the Czech Republic.
It rises in the moorland on the northern slope of Podhornberg at an altitude of 784 meters above sea level and flows shortly afterwards into the ninety-hectare Podhora dam. After the outflow, it flows through the thirty-hectare Bethlehem Pond, which was created by monks from the Tepl monastery in the 15th century. Before the town of Teplá, it turns sharply to the north, leaves the mountainous area and flows below Poutnov through romantic gorges to Bečov nad Teplou. At Březová, it flows through the Březová dam and then roars in a riverbed popular with canoeists towards Karlovy Vary. There, the canalized Teplá flows into the Ohře river.
The river became known among water sports enthusiasts through the 2001 Canoe Whitewater Racing World Cup and the 2006 Whitewater Racing World Championships.

Market Colonnade (Tržní kolonáda)
Highlight • Monument
The Castle Fountain was first discovered in 1769 under the Castle Tower in the historic center of Karlovy Vary. The first pavilion over the spring was built in 1797. In 1830, the arbor was completed with a new wooden colonnade designed by architect Josef Esch. Between 1910 and 1912, the Karlovy Vary master builder Friedrich Seitz built a new Art Nouveau colonnade designed by Viennese architect Johann Friedrich Ohmann. The colonnade consists of three separate units; the Lower Castle Fountain Colonnade, the Sunbathing Area and the Upper Castle Fountain Colonnade. It was intended to connect the space above the Castle Fountain with the Market Colonnade and create a single promenade unit.

Church of St. Mary Magdalene (Kostel svaté Maří Magdalény)
Highlight • Religious Site
Until the 15th century, Karlsbad was a branch of the parish of Zettlitz. A wooden chapel dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene was probably located in the center on a hill near the Sprudel since the second half of the 14th century. On August 14, 1370, Emperor Charles IV elevated the already existing town of Warmbad to the status of a royal town.[1] The church was first mentioned in a document in 1485 in connection with a donation from Count Hieronymus Schlick.[2] The Knights of the Cross with the Red Star had the right of patronage. From 1491 it was an independent parish church. In addition to Karlsbad, the parish also included the villages of Donitz, Drahowitz, Fischern, Ober- and Untermaierhöfen as well as Berghäusln, which belonged to the Gießhübel domain. In 1493, a Knight of the Cross named Nikolaus was the pastor.
In 1518, a new building was built in the form of a small, one-story half-timbered church. It was surrounded by a cemetery, which had been used as a burial site since around 1500. Behind the church, on a higher level, there was a vicarage garden. In the 16th century, the Reformation took hold. As early as 1535, a pastor is said to have preached in St. Andrew's Church. In 1554, the council officially adopted Lutheran doctrine. Until 1624, the vicarage was filled by 13 Lutheran clergy in succession. The first was Andreas Hampisch.[3] The church was destroyed in the town fire of 1604, but was rebuilt shortly afterwards. In 1605, it received new bells from the bell founder Hans Wild from St. Joachimsthal. During the Thirty Years' War, the church was again destroyed by fire. The last pastor, Johannes Rebhun, had to leave the country on August 24, 1624, on the orders of Emperor Ferdinand II, along with those citizens who did not convert to Catholicism. Rebhun became pastor in Culmitzsch in the diocese of Weida in 1624 and died in 1675.
In 1628, Catholic worship was forcibly reintroduced. Many citizens, especially women, only converted later. The first Catholic pastor since the Reformation was the Augustinian monk Father Franciscus Albinus. He was followed in turn by Knights of the Cross, secular priests and other religious clergy. Since 1656, the parish office has always been filled by Knights of the Cross. From 1698, the Knights of the Cross exercised the right of presentation jointly with the city's magistrate, in the form that the Grand Master proposed three religious priests from whom the magistrate selected one, who was then presented to the prince-archbishop's consistory.[4]

Karlovy Vary City Theatre
Highlight • Monument
Theatrical life in Karlovy Vary is mentioned as early as the beginning of the 18th century. The construction of this magnificent building began in 1884, just a month after the demolition of the old theater (the baroque Becher Theater from 1787, destroyed by fire in 1883) on the same site. The project was entrusted to Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer from Vienna, and the entire building was built in just twenty months. The magnificent hand-painted curtain celebrating poetry, the frescoes above the proscenium and the paintings on the vaulted ceiling are by Viennese artists, the brothers Gustav and Ernest Klimt and Franz Matsch.

Statue of Charles IV in Karlovy Vary
Highlight • Monument
The sandstone statue of the Emperor and Bohemian King Charles IV in the park in front of the Imperial Spa is only about seventy years old. The sculptor Otakar Švec created it in 1955. It shows the crowned monarch in a long cloak. In his left hand he holds a model of a house, in his right a sceptre. On the front there is an inscription in Czech. The text is repeated on the right side in Latin and on the left side in Russian.

St. Peter and Paul Church, Karlovy Vary
Highlight • Religious Site
The Protestant Church of St. Peter and Paul (not to be confused with the Russian Orthodox Church of the same name in Karlovy Vary) is a pseudo-Romanesque building. It is now used by the Czechoslovak Hussite Church. It was built between 1854 and 1856 at the instigation of the German Lutheran Church. Countess Hermína of Schaumburg-Lippe, who liked to travel to Karlovy Vary for health treatment, donated the property for the place of worship for Protestant Christians in Catholic Bohemia. From 1893 to 1894, the Leipzig architect Julius Zeissig gave the church its current neo-Romanesque form.
