Search hotels in Jáchymov

The city of Jáchymov is unfortunately marked by its location. The city has no historical center, it is allocated along a long exit street that crosses the city for more than two kilometers, the city is full of only hotels and guesthouses for spa guests. Restaurants are only part of these establishments and close very early - between 9 and 10 o'clock. The only thing that Jáchymov is proud of (besides the spa) is the former uranium mines, which can be visited. And then walk in the surrounding nature.

Nice little town. Need a better information system about time and days of tours...it was just changing into low season and it was difficult to find right info about opening hours. Also attractions need updates online as well. Otherwise very relaxing atmosphere and overall we enjoyed our stay and we would recommend this town for visit.

Jachymov is a pretty village with beautiful forests and in mountains. It has within walking distance a number of restaurants and cafes. The big spa with sauna and pools is just down the hill. The air was fresh and vibrant and scenery just perfect. We loved Jachymov and would return. Incognito Cafe was a treasure.

The town looks a bit deserted, due to Covid and low season. Neither less, you can find small open (mostly asian) grocery stores even at holidays. The Agricola spa/pool definitely worth a visit. At the evening we were often alone there and it was like a private pool! To learn the controversy history of the place, take the bus to Jachymov, radnice and look at the mines. You can also reach Karlovy Vary in ca. 40 min by bus, the fare usually can be paid by card. At the Christmas we did not try the local eateries, but it is hard to find a bad food in Czechia. They do not like to hurry up though, so plan enough time!

Although the a fine skiarea in the neighborhood the village has nearly no facilities such as restaurants and shops. Lots of wellness hotels but you need to be a guest to use their facilities. A nice bathing establishment with sauna and spa can be found in the center, but it is often overbooked in high seasonsas everything else in the village.

Jachymov is part of one of the newest UNESCO sites in the CR. It became a famous silver mining town in the 1500s. Eventually, they got into uranium mining. Then the Soviets established labor camps there for political prisoners who had to mine uranium. It is a spa town located in a valley in the Krusne Hory (Ore Mountains). The old town is in the upper end of the valley. The spa area is in the lower end of the valley. (The part in the middle is less interesting.) In their museum, you can learn something about their history, their mint, mining, minerals, Madam Curie, the Soviet labor camps, etc. Not all the buildings in Jachymov look good right now, but they are working on it. The town is underpopulated, but it is not a tourist trap. Klinovec, a mountain popular with mountain bikers, is right outside the town. I jokingly referred to this as my radioactive vacation. If you go there, you will see why.
