CLIMATE, LOCATION, CURATIVE FACTORS: Teplice is one of the oldest spa towns of the Czech Republic and is located in northern Bohemia, only a few kilometers from the Czech-German border. At the beginning of the 19th century after it has been visited by many famous people (e.g. Beethoven, Goethe and Chopin) Teplice was declared to be the \"Parlour of Europe\". Many of the historic buildings were recently renovated and shine today in its former splendour. Because all the spa resorts in Teplice are located in parks and near the center of the town there are plenty opportunities for walks, shopping and sight-seeing.
