Nestled among wooded hills of Bohemia´s Slavkov Forest, this is another famous spa town filled with a serene feel and genteelly grandiose architecture of the 19th century, when it attracted emperors, kings, and celebrities including Chopin, Edison, Goethe, Twain,and Wagner (today it seems to specialize in older Germans from across the nearby border).
