What to expect
Praha hlavni nadrazi
This day trip from Prague to Kutná Hora meets at the Czech Railway Main Office (České dráhy), located in the center of the Prague train station.
Set out to explore this historic city on foot, starting by the Sedlec Ossuary. Learn how the town grew after the establishment of the Sedlec Monastery, a sanctuary for Cistercian monks, in the 12th century. Head inside the Sedlec Ossuary and gape at the macabre, bone-made interior. Inspect the chandelier and furnishings made entirely from human bones, and hear how the interior contains the skeletons of around 40,000 people. As you take in the bone creations, you’ll understand completely why the ossuary draws flocks of visitors.
Next, head for Kutná’s UNESCO-listed Old Town, a treasure chest of medieval architecture.
Visit the magnificent Gothic Church of St Barbara and marvel at its echoing interior, replete with frescoes that show medieval miners. As you walk round, hear how the church was dedicated to St Barbara, the patron saint of miners, and was part of Kutná’s efforts to rival Prague.
After, delve further into the romantic streets and squares, passing gems such as the Italian Court — the former Royal Mint — and the fortified Hrádek palace.
