Known for its mineral springs, river promenades, and noble history, Poděbrady is a refined Central Bohemian spa town offering a tranquil setting for wellness retreats, cultural programs, corporate meetings, and destination weddings. Located along the Elbe River and just 50 minutes from Prague, it combines ease of access with therapeutic atmosphere, making it a favourite for events seeking health, elegance, and slow-paced charm.

Poděbrady’s Neo-Renaissance Chateau, once a royal residence, now serves as a venue for exhibitions, concerts, and ceremonial events. Its courtyards and gardens are perfect for wedding ceremonies, cocktail evenings, and cultural receptions, while its central location anchors the town’s pedestrian-friendly layout. Nearby, the Colonade and mineral springs offer ideal settings for outdoor wellness sessions, yoga retreats, or health-themed incentives.

The town features a strong infrastructure of spa hotels and conference venues, including Spa Hotel Felicitas, Hotel Bellevue-Tlapák, and Hotel Golfi, all of which offer well-equipped meeting rooms with wellness services such as massages, hydrotherapy, and fitness amenities. This makes Poděbrady particularly attractive for corporate wellness programs, senior leadership getaways, and medical or therapeutic conferences.

Cultural and leisure options abound: from boat cruises on the Elbe to open-air concerts in the spa park, as well as wine tastings, art walks, and horse-drawn carriage rides. The town also hosts the International Festival of Films on Art (IFA) and various classical music programs, which can be integrated into event schedules to enrich guest experiences.

Poděbrady is ideal for event planners focused on relaxation, intimacy, and lifestyle-driven programming. Whether hosting an executive retreat with spa interludes or a multi-day cultural workshop, the town offers a cohesive blend of serenity, history, and comfort—making it a standout among Czech spa destinations.
