Medieval Kutna Hora Day Trip

Kutna Hora is a charming medieval town in Central Bohemia just under 45 miles from Prague. As the second most important town in the Bohemian kingdom after Prague, it enjoyed something of a golden era in the Middle Ages due to the success of its world-famous silver mines and royal patronage.
On arriving you will visit three UNESCO heritage sites beginning with the magnificent Gothic cathedral Church of St Barbara, patron saint of miners. You will also visit a unique cemetery beneath the Church of All Saints: known as an Ossuary or bone crypt, the Sedlec Chapel is decorated with between 40,000 – 70,000 human bones.
Afterwards, enjoy the fresh air and atmosphere of the medieval town as you wander down the cobbled streets towards the "Italian Court", a grand palace once the home to visiting Bohemian kings, later the Royal Mint and today a museum to both. Your guide will show you around this beautiful building, after which it will be time for a delicious local, leisurely lunch before returning to Prague.
