The Journey to Bohemia’s Legendary Spa Town
What to Expect on the Road
The Prague to Karlovy Vary transfer is one of the most popular routes in the Czech Republic—an ideal blend of comfort, scenery, and culture. In roughly 130 km (travel time usually about 1.5–2 hours, depending on traffic and stops), you’ll leave the capital behind and head west into a region known for forests, historic towns, and spa tradition. Unlike crowded buses or fixed-schedule trains, a private transfer lets you travel at your own pace, make worthwhile detours, and arrive feeling fresh—whether you’re coming for a relaxing getaway, a day trip, or a hotel check-in.
Your journey starts in Prague, where we’ll pick you up from your hotel, apartment, or any address in the city. Once outside Prague, the cityscape quickly turns into the open landscapes of Central and Western Bohemia—fields, wooded hills, and small towns that most travelers never see from a train window. As you continue west, the road leads into a calmer, greener part of the country. Approaching Karlovy Vary, the scenery becomes more “spa-country”: rolling hills, river valleys, and elegant resort architecture appearing as you descend toward the town. Arriving in Karlovy Vary, you’ll be dropped off directly at your accommodation or preferred location — no hauling bags across stations, no waiting, no stress.
