Becherovka Muzeum

Today was my trip to Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. It is a hot spring town nestled in the Czech Republic rustic hills. It's architecture consists of "neo-style" and Art Nouveau that were built in the 19th and 20th centuries. With the beautiful architecture nestled against the hillside, and a light snow fall falling, the town seemed to be this peaceful beautiful city to explore. We walked around for a couple of hours visiting and tasting each spring and taking pictures of the surrounding area. After our tour of the springs, we headed off to Becherovka Muzeum where we learned about the 200 year history of Becherovka liquor and even had a tasting of three of the four liquors available. After the tasting, we headed to have a late lunch of great Czech food. After a fun day exploring one of the Czech Republic's finest cities we headed back to Praha for the evening. Ahoj!
