The T.G. Masaryk Street is the main artery that connects the Spa Zone with the rest of the city.

Here you will find many shops and cafés that provide a pleasant atmosphere to the street. The salient point of the T.G. Masaryk Street is the bronze statue of the first Czech president after whom the street is named - Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.

The Russian Orthodox St. Peter and Paul’s Church – a Church Historical Monument, is truly a dominant structure among the surrounding Art Nouveau villas on the Krále Jiřího Street (King George Street) in the spa district. This conspicuous structure was built according to the design of the architect J. Wiedmann with the significant support of the Russian nobility that financed the entire construction. The combination of the onion domes, the small towers, and cupolas dazzles not the foreign visitors.

Mill Colonnade – under its roof that is supported by 124 Corinthian columns, is a site for an orchestra and five mineral water springs (the Rock Spring, Libuše Spring, the Prince Wenceslas I Spring, Rusalka Spring and the Mill Spring). Its area is decorated with allegorical reliefs and statuettes.
