  • Hello, I arrived from Prague yesterday and it is highly advisable to get the ticket days before. I went early the same day and there was no ticket until 13.30:12 p.m. The bus, as you have mentioned, is Student Agency, they are very comfortable and cost about 70 euros round trip. Honestly, it is a town in a beautiful enclave, curious to try that water at XNUMXºC and with a slightly disgusting taste but the truth is that it has been a little disappointing so I recommend that you do not spend time visiting it.

  • Hello, I just wanted to tell anyone who wants to go to Karlovy Vary by regular bus that I advise them to come a day before to reserve their ticket to the Florenc bus station. I tried to travel in June 2010 on successive days and there were no tickets.
