Spa - sightseening and healthcare |
There are a number of mineral springs on the Czech
territory, which have been used for medicinal purposes since the early 15th
century. Czech spa towns are invariably located in picturesque natural
landscapes and are attractive for both their urbanistic layout and their
specific spa architecture. Some spa houses even boast elaborate original
furnishings.
Peace and serenity of these towns affect its
visitors looking for relaxation and rest or those who combine gaining new
strength with sport and adrenalin activities. Spa t owns give you a possibility
to spend a day by a sightseeing tour, relaxing in parks or trying at least some
therapeutic treatments. One day trips
to spa can offer you a calm day visiting architecture of the end of the 18th and 19th
centuries and possibly trying some of the spa springs. You can visit places
taking pride in visits of tsar Peter the Great, Albrecht from Valdštejn or
English king Edward VII.
Would you like to do more for your health?
Here
are five good reasons to spend your vacation at a Czech spa:
 Czech spas are good for you! Whether you opt for the full spa package or
just a hotel stay with a few massages thrown in, your body will thank you. (So
will your soul.)
Czech spas are beautiful. Without exception, Czech spa towns boast
beautiful, historic architecture and lush natural settings. Some are more urban
than others, but all are an aesthetic experience unto itself.
They are affordable. A week at a Czech spa can cost less than a weekend
at an American one. (Of course, no-holds-barred luxury is also available to
those who want it — if you wish to bathe in champagne, you can, and we have
caviar too.)
They offer variety. Every spa town featured here has many worthwhile
sights in its vicinity, from splendid castles and ancient monasteries to famous
glass factories and picturesque medieval towns; there are other activities, too
— golfing, casinos, and shopping. No reason to get bored.
They are a European experience. Here you can walk in the footsteps of
famous writers, poets and composers; bathe in the same bathtub that kings and
princes did; and experience the romance of a genteel, elegant era while
enjoying the comforts of the modern age. |
