Dear Curt, <BR> <BR>I'm not certain how to interpret "great"--but we have enjoyed : <BR> Karlovy Vary - Czech Republic <BR> Miskolctapulca - Hungary <BR> Bardejov Kapele - Slovakia <BR> <BR>Each had a totally different character. <BR> <BR>Karlovy Vary is an old-world, aristocratic town with thermal springs for drinking along with thermal waters for soaking. Promenading along the river from spring-to-spring is very much part of the experience. The town is lovely with lots of elegant hotels.

I second for Karlovy Vary--it was "Karlsbad" before WWII and was always an elegant part of Mitteleuropa. Curiously, most tourists there now are from Russia (besides Germany). <BR> <BR>Some travel magazine this month has an article on "bargain elegance" and rates Karlovy Vary high in this regard--the TOP hotel room is less than $200/night, and a secondary hotel room could easily be gotten for around $100 (high season!).
