Karlovy Vary is a famous spa resort of the Czech Republic that is popular far beyond its borders. Traditionally, it welcomes a lot of tourists from the former Soviet countries, especially Russia. It comes as no surprise as Karlovy Vary has been popular with Russian visitors throughout the history. It used to be a favorite recreation destination for Russian nobility and petty bourgeois.
