Western Czech Republic: Carlsbad, Ceske Budejovice, and Cesky Krumlov


The western and south western part of the Czech Republic has some simple but very charming little towns.  We toured through Karlovy Vary, Pilsen, Ceske Budejovice, and Ceske Krumlov. 





Karlovy Vary is a famous spa town known for its hot springs.  The town is situated along a the banks of the Tepla river.  With its colorful facades and quiet promenades, the city definitely feels fit for the many famous names that have gone there over the centuries. 



Cesky Krumlov is a UNESCO town located on a tight curve of the Vltava River.  It is really a very cute town, though it is quite small.   It is very well known for its castle.
