During the festival, Karlovy Vary is transformed. Historic venues like the Hotel Thermal, the festival’s central hub, and the Grand Hall, where premieres are held, buzz with activity. Street performers, live music, pop-up screenings, and festival parties create a lively and unforgettable atmosphere. You can enjoy a morning soak in one of the town’s iconic hot springs, catch an afternoon screening, and end the evening at a riverside concert or panel discussion with renowned directors. It’s a rare place where culture, cinema, and relaxation meet in perfect harmony.
