You know what's another cool thing about my name - Vary? The answer lies in the captivating town of Karlovy Vary in the Czech Republic known for its unique blend of history, architecture, and natural splendor. Let me share with you some fascinating aspects of this town: 1. 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐩𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧: Karlovy Vary is famous for its thermal springs, boasting 13 primary hot springs and over 300 smaller ones. The mineral-rich waters are said to have health benefits. The town is sprinkled with exquisite spa buildings, colonnades, and fountains, many from the 18th and 19th centuries. 2. 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬: Karlovy Vary hosts one of the oldest and most esteemed film festivals globally, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. The town has been a preferred retreat for several notable personalities, including Beethoven, Goethe, and Tsar Peter the Great, enhancing its historical allure. 3. 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐲: The town is located in a picturesque valley surrounded by forested hills, offering stunning landscapes. It is dissected by the Teplá River, enhancing its scenic appeal with elegant bridges and riverside walks. 4. 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: The town produces an herbal liqueur, Becherovka, often seen as the "13th spring". Karlovy Vary is also known for its high-quality glassworks, especially Moser glass, celebrated for its intricate designs. 5. 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬: Karlovy Vary houses several impressive colonnades like the Mill Colonnade and Market Colonnade, and the beautiful Church of St. Mary Magdalene. Historic hotels like Grandhotel Pupp contribute to the town's luxurious ambiance. 6. 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐲 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬: Karlovy Vary is easily reachable from Prague, making it a favorite choice for day trips or weekend getaways for those visiting the Czech Republic. But sadly, I have not visited this place yet. 😔 For now, Prague remains as a top destination on my travel bucket list. #KarlovyVary #CzechRepublic #Prague #BucketList #Travel

Reviewing the cities I went to in the last week... ready.... go! Bruges: WOWWW this place is stunning 8.7/10 Pros: - incredible scenery, the entire city looks like it’s out of a movie - elite food (mussels + rabbit went crazy) - gorgeous canals - unique castles + architecture - very walkable - people are SO friendly Cons: - not a ton to do, would run out of activities fast - virtually no nightlife, things don’t stay open late - tons of bugs Overall: highly highly recommend staying a day or two here, wouldn’t need much more. Brussels: food is elite but had a bad experience overall 5.4/10 Pros: - food is so good (frites, seafood, meat, chocolate, pastries, can’t go wrong) - tons of cool castles - I happened to be there on National Belgium day and that was fun Cons: - people were rude (maybe cause it’s the French area? Sorry not sorry) - very little nightlife - bugs were terrible - city is basically a hill so it’s walkable but not fun to walk Overall: food is really really good and Brussels is a central hub to travel out of, otherwise you don’t need to go, very skippable Ghent: score is heavily influenced by the national Ghent festival 7.2/10 Pros: - food is great (sense a theme?) - lots of castles (sense a theme?) - National Ghent festival is INCREDIBLE - people are mostly nice - easily walkable Cons: - not a lot happening there - probably would’ve been bored w/out festival - tons of bugs (sense a theme?) Overall: it’s a cute little city that’s worth a day trip and if you can go during the Ghent festival you 1000% should but otherwise, it’s just fine, wouldn’t spend more than a day. Belgium overall: I’m conflicted, it had BY FAR the best food, the castles and architecture is amazing, but I’m covered in bug bites, and without festivals + National Belgium day, I probably wouldn’t recommend outside of Bruges. So where to next? 👀 Off to Luxembourg 🇱🇺 (whhhaaaaaattt??) Will report back on how it goes. Ps, enjoy this pic from golden hour last night
