The Beautiful Colonnade

By Ingridd @cosytraveler

Mountains and forest surround the noble houses and many parks and springs of Marianske Lazne, also known as Marienbad. The town is about 200 years old and very quickly became popular for its healing springs. It even attracted famous visitors such as Goethe, Chopin, Wagner and Mark Twain.

The Colonnade we are referring to is in the middle of town. It provides access to a breathtaking promenade and fountain. The grandeur of the buildings take your breath away as soon as you set foot here, as do the many colors of the houses and the flowers. Many 4 and 5 stars hotels and casinos are located in the center and offer different forms of wellness therapy.
