Teplice Spa is the oldest spa in Central Europe. The large number of Roman and Celtic coins found in the thermal springs is testament to the fact that the spa industry began here over 2,000 years ago. Teplice was known as Little Paris or The Saloon of Europe in the 18th and 19th century.
Visitors here included Tsar Petr I, the Swedish King Gustav IV, the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III, Johann Wolfgang Goethe and also the composers Ludwig van Beethoven, Richard Wagner, Fryderyk Chopin and Franz Liszt. Illnesses of the locomotor system are treated here, as well as vascular illnesses and disorders of the nervous system.
