We scheduled our 3rd day in advanced on line. We researched things to see and do and decided to incorporate this tour into our days in Prague. Before we started our day with a bus tour to
Korlovy Vary and the
Moser Glass Factory we discovered an open air
market just outside our hotel. We walked through the market and snapped some photos then headed to the pick up site.

Korlovy Vary is a spa city situated in Western Bohemia, Czech Republic. The tour consisted of the bus ride to the town, a glass factory tour, lunch and an afternoon of swimming in the spring fed pool.
The bus ride was over 2 hours and when we arrived at the factory, we
were told it was a factory holiday and they were not blowing glass. We
were very disappointed and learned later that the whole month of July is
a holiday. This consisted of a quick tour of the museum (which was boring because I wanted to see glass being blown) and into an overpriced
showroom. Moser Glass is called the glass of Kings and now we know why;
because commoners cannot afford it!

We had lunch at the
Hotel Thermal followed by a guided walking tour of all the thermal springs locations and buildings. Afterward we swam in the thermal fed pool and finished some last minute
shopping walking away with a set of six glass cocktail drink glasses for
55 US dollars; authentic Czech crystal.
