Trip to Kutná Hora

Join us for a day trip from Prague to Kutná Hora, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its impressive history and stunning medieval architecture. Just a short 1-hour drive from the city, this charming town offers a perfect mix of history, culture, and unique attractions.

We’ll start with a visit to the Sedlec Ossuary—the famous “Bone Church.” Here, you’ll see the remains of around 40,000 individuals arranged into intricate designs by woodcarver František Rint. It’s a haunting yet fascinating site that showcases human bones in remarkable ways, including chandeliers and coat-of-arms, all serving as a stark reminder of the past.

Next, we’ll head to St. Barbara’s Cathedral, one of the most iconic Gothic structures in the Czech Republic. This cathedral, dedicated to the patron saint of miners, is a testament to the wealth and importance of Kutná Hora during the silver mining boom. With its stunning architecture and beautiful stained-glass windows, St. Barbara’s offers a peaceful place to reflect on the town’s rich history.

After that, we’ll visit the Italian Court (Vlašský dvůr), once the royal mint of Kutná Hora. This Gothic palace now hosts a museum where you can learn about the town’s minting history and see how Kutná Hora played a key role in Europe’s medieval economy.

As we stroll through the Historic Old Town, you’ll get a feel for the town’s medieval charm. The cobbled streets and beautiful buildings offer a glimpse of what life was like during Kutná Hora’s heyday as a thriving silver-mining center.

We’ll gather together for lunch in a local restaurant, where you can relax and enjoy some delicious Czech cuisine while discussing the sites we’ve seen so far. It’s a great chance to unwind and share thoughts with fellow travelers.

Throughout the day, your guide will share stories and insights about Kutná Hora’s fascinating past, giving you a deeper understanding of the town’s historical and cultural significance.
