Karlovy Vary – one of the most famous spa towns in the Czech Republic and Europe.
The Czech Republic and Karlovy Vary are rich in unique, authentic souvenirs you won’t find anywhere else.
If you’re planning a trip, you’re probably wondering: What gifts and souvenirs should I bring back from Karlovy Vary?
Here’s a list we’ve prepared for you:
- Karlovy Vary Thermal Salt
Salt extracted from the town’s famous springs is the perfect souvenir for yourself or friends. Karlovy Vary is world-renowned for its healing thermal waters, so why not bring a piece of this wellness experience home in the form of salt?
Karlovy Vary Thermal Salt comes in two types: drinking salt and bath spa salt. Bath salt, scrubs, and creams are popular souvenirs, while drinking salt is perfect for continuing your healing course at home (dissolve the salt in water and drink).
You can buy 100% original salt and learn more about it at our tourist center.
- Becherovka Liqueur
This famous herbal liqueur, created and produced in Karlovy Vary, is one of the town’s symbols. A bottle of original, lemon, or orange Becherovka makes for a great gift or a reminder of your time in Karlovy Vary.
- Porcelain from Thun
Upon arrival, get yourself a special spouted drinking cup for sampling the spring waters. Once your stay is over, this cup will serve as a memorable keepsake. For friends, there’s a wide range of local porcelain items to choose from.
- Moser Crystal Glassware
The Karlovy Vary glass company has been crafting luxurious crystal products for nearly 200 years. Known worldwide for its exquisite designs and handcrafting, Moser crystal is a premium gift. A small item like a bar glass costs about $300–600.
- Karlovy Vary Wafers (Oplatky)
A budget-friendly gift idea. These thin, round wafers are a local delicacy associated with Karlovy Vary. You can enjoy them plain or choose varieties with chocolate, nut, or vanilla fillings. We recommend the original plain wafers. Price per pack: €2–3.
- Local Handmade Souvenirs
Look for handmade souvenirs crafted by local Czech artisans. They make much more meaningful gifts than mass-produced magnets from China.
You can find authentic handmade products and original Karlovy Vary salt for drinking and bathing in our tourist center.
