Many of the Russian films allow a glance into the lifestyles of the Russian Mafioso and Central and East European organized crime, which concentrate money, power and fame. Life has a funny way of imitating art at Karlovy Vary. Many of the guests on the terrace or in the restaurant resemble the movies' characters. Arrogant and well-dressed, glittering with gold watches, they use the same slang and seem to have the same preoccupation with facades mainly, having the right look. But for one week, world cultures converged in one place, living through pictures, with images and sounds that will blow your mind.
Trains leave from Prague three times a day.
The main station is outside of the center across the Ohre River, and you must take Bus 11 to get downtown. You can ride into the smaller station serving Marianske Lazne, which is a 10 minute walk downtown. However, it's easier to take one of the hourly buses from Prague. The major bus station is at Konevov 2, near the small train station. And if you're hitchhiking, Karlovy Vary is also easily accessible from many major roadways, particularly Route 6, heading west from Prague.
