Karlovy Vary International Film Festival VIP The Bohemian spa town in early July, prepared six months ahead
Every early July, Karlovy Vary hosts one of Central Europe’s oldest film festivals. Accommodation in the spa town, transfers from Prague or Karlovy Vary airport, tables and private dinners: AC PRIVATE - A List concierge prepares your festival from its Prague office.
The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) is organised around the Hotel Thermal, the festival centre, on the banks of the Teplá river. For nine days, the spa town welcomes filmmakers, actors, professionals and festival-goers from all over the world, and the best rooms in town are booked early. The 2026 edition, the 60th, took place from 3 to 11 July; the 61st is announced for 2 to 10 July 2027.
Passes, tickets and accreditations are issued by the festival and its official channels. We resell no tickets: we prepare your requests and organise your stay in Bohemia, whether you come privately, with a production team or with corporate guests.
