EU Green Capital Valencia will host 2024 edition of European Urban Resilience Forum
Crucial aspects of resilience, sustainable development and recovery will be under the thematic spotlight
Enjoy a magically beautiful family of hundreds of species from all corners of the world
If you are wondering what to do in between the baths in the famous spa resort of Karlovy Vary, here is a suggestion: spend some time in the Butterfly House. In a space exceeding 100 square metres, you can enjoy the view of hundreds of butterfly species, some of the most exotic and incredible ones waiting impatiently for you to catch their beauty. Moreover, the diversity of the butterflies is immense: species from all corners of the world, including Thailand, the Philippines, South Africa or Mexico are on display.
Get ready to spot all classes of different butterflies, the biggest of which with a wingspan of 20 centimetres. What is more, they can be observed without any barriers, which makes it a perfect place to take a selfie or make the best holiday photo session. And finally, do not miss to complete your visit in front of the incubator, where, if lucky, you may witness the hatching of a butterfly.
And don't forget, for the romantics amongst you, the so called “flight zone” where butterflies move undisturbed is available for wedding ceremonies, so do not hesitate to book it for you most special day. See more from the video or visit https://www.karlovyvary.cz
