Confirm before purchasing. Buses from Prague reach the town; check whether they disembark at Terminal or Tržnice and the final access to the valley.
How many days
Two days for the colonnades and a trip to Loket or Jáchymov.
When to go
May and June usually favor the parks; September still offers good walking opportunities. December to February calls for warmer clothing and shorter routes.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Do you need a car?
