Cafe Elefant is an elegant cafe in the spa town of Karlovy Vary that has served the likes of Ludwig van Beethoven, Emperor Franz I and J. W. Goethe. Lavishly decorated with sparkling chandeliers, gold accents and tasteful, nuanced touches, the cafe is as elegant as it is popular. Apart from offering its guests a selection of delicious cakes and fresh coffee, the cafe is also a great place to indulge in a little people watching as you sit back and savor the opulent ambiance of this historic meeting place.
