Mariánské Lázně is two hours from Prague by car and can be seen in a long day, although it asks for a night. This plan leaves early, drinks at the colonnade before the crowds arrive, enters the Roman Baths of the Nové Lázně at the 11:00 session, eats facing the Singing Fountain and walks through the park to the Forest spring.

## The day, hour by hour

7:30 · Leave Prague. Along the D5 towards Plzeň; bring the electronic vignette. Park in the centre or at a hotel.

9:45 · The colonnade and the springs. Buy the spouted cup and try the Cross spring, bitter, and the Carolina, milder. In sips and not much.

10:45 · The Roman Baths. The 1896 hall with red marble columns. Non-guests buy at the ticket office for the 11:00 session, if there is room: no booking.

13:15 · Lunch at the Palace. Terrace facing the colonnade; Czech and international cooking.

15:00 · The Singing Fountain. The odd-hour show of water and music.

15:30 · The Forest spring. A quarter of an hour through the park, following the stream.

16:30 · Viennese coffee at the Nové Lázně. A cake from its bakery before heading back.

17:30 · Return to Prague. You arrive around 19:30.

## Without a car or with an overnight stay

By direct train it is about three hours each way: the day falls short. If you go by train, sleep a night at the Nové Lázně, with the Roman Baths included, or at the Falkensteiner, and leave the fountain for the evening, when it is lit up.
