Public Transportation

City transportation

Public transportation buses (PT) run all over the city. When going on trips tracing the beautiful scenery of Karlovy Vary’s downtown or periphery you do not have to wander in the streets and look for indicators. Simply take a bus and get off at the right bus stop within convenient distance form your destination. All the buses leave from a stop marked as Tržnice (Market Place) in the center of Karlovy Vary. The public transportation company operates 18 regular lines, 2 night lines, 5 special lines and 2 cable cars.

Train

If you plan to go for a trip in the nearby or more remote retreats of Karlovy Vary, you can travel by train. Although this mode of transport is somewhat slower than road transport, the atmosphere of many an outing would not be complete without it.

To get to the Lower railroad station (dolní nádraží), take PT bus No. 12, 9 or 6. The Upper railroad station (horní nádraží) can be reached by PT buses No. 11, 12 or 13. The next railroad station in Karlovy Vary - Dvory is situated near the horse race track and can be accessed by PT buses No. 1 or 22. Another railroad stop is in the city district of Doubí PT bus No. 6.
