[[Image:Flag of Teplice.svg|right|250px]] [[Image:Erb Teplic.png|right|90px]] '''Teplice''' ({{lang-de|Teplitz}}) is a city in [[Bohemia]], the western area of the [[Czech Republic]]. Teplice (pronounced in [[Czech language|Czech]]: “Tep-li-tse”) is a famous [[spa]] town where, in earlier times, lots of famous people went for holidays to improve their [[health]]. [[Goethe]], [[Beethoven]], [[Chopin]], [[Franz Liszt]] and [[Richard Wagner]] all stayed there. Teplice lies between [[Prague]] and [[Dresden]] in a [[mountain]] area called Krušné hory (Iron Mountains). In the year 762, [[hot spring]]s were found there. The waters from these springs helped people who were ill to get better so it became a spa town. Since 1990, many buildings have been restored. The Krušnohorské divadlo (Krušnohorské theatre) is now being refurbished. The North Bohemia Philharmonic Orchestra give concerts there in the open air. There is a [[museum]] and many [[restaurant]]s, [[wine]] [[Bar (business)|bars]] and [[café]]s. In the winter the mountain slopes are good for [[skiing]]. <gallery> Image:Teplice_(Teplitz-Schönau)_-_Schlossplatz_mit_Kirche_St._Johannes_links.JPG|Square, castle and church Image:Teplice_25.5.2006.JPG|Night view Image:Teplice-Neues-Rathaus 02.jpg|Town hall </gallery> == Other websites == *[http://old.teplice.cz/mesto/default_e.php Official website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070515183751/http://old.teplice.cz/mesto/default_e.php |date=2007-05-15 }} {{authority control}} [[Category:Spa towns in the Czech Republic]] [[Category:Cities in the Czech Republic]]
