The Teplice Spa is the oldest spa in Central Europe with an almost two thousand year old tradition. It is located in North Bohemia at the foothills of the Ore Mountains. The beginning of the history of this small town is linked with the curative springs that were already known two thousand years ago. This fact can be easily evidenced by the archaeological findings of Roman coins in Pravřídlo and the findings of Celtic coins and jewels in Obří pramen by Duchcov from the beginning of our new calendar (AD). In the 18th and 19th centuries, Teplice used to be called Little Paris or the Salon of Europe, visited by many eminent individuals, such as Tsar Peter I, the Swedish King Gustav IV, the Prussian King Bedřich Vilém III, then Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Richard Wagner, Frederick Chopin and Franz Liszt. Nowadays, the Teplice Spa is a top-class spa resort with a comprehensive range of diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities as well as catering and accommodation services of a high quality level.
