Where to go on a trip from Mariánské Lázně

Mariánské Lázně is one of the most beautiful spa towns in the Czech Republic. Apart from relaxation and walks along the colonnades, they also offer a great starting point for interesting trips to the surrounding area. Whether you like history, nature or gastronomy, you will find something to do in the area.

One of the closest and at the same time very interesting places around Mariánské Lázně is the Teplá Monastery, about 15 kilometres away. This Premonstratensian monastery, founded in the 12th century, impresses visitors above all with its beautiful library and rich history. Beer lovers should not miss the Chodová Planá brewery, which is unique because part of its premises is located in a rock and offers not only tours but also tastings of traditional Czech beer.

About an hour away from Mariánské Lázně are other famous spa towns. Karlovy Vary is famous for its colonnades, hot springs and film festival, while Františkovy Lázně has a quieter feel and is ideal for a relaxing stroll.

If you want to take a longer trip, Prague is a great choice, approximately two hours away. It offers countless sights such as Prague Castle, Charles Bridge and Old Town Square. Another popular destination is the UNESCO-listed Český Krumlov, whose picturesque streets and dominant castle are among the most beautiful in the country.

For nature lovers, the Slavkovský les Protected Landscape Area (CHKO Slavkovský les) is ideal, as it is situated right in the vicinity of Mariánské Lázně and offers a number of hiking trails, peat bogs and natural springs. Thanks to the proximity of the border, you can also take a trip to Germany, for example to the medieval town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, which has retained its historical character and looks like a fairy tale.

Mariánské Lázně is not only a place of relaxation, but also an ideal starting point for exploring western Bohemia and nearby foreign countries. Whether you decide to take a short trip to the surrounding area or a day trip to more distant cities, you will have plenty of unforgettable experiences.
