What Not to Miss on Your Kutná Hora Day Trip from Prague

1. Sedlec Ossuary – The Famous Bone Church

Let’s start with the weirdest, most unforgettable stop: the Bone Church. Officially called the Sedlec Ossuary, this small chapel is decorated with the bones of over 40,000 people – arranged into chandeliers, pyramids, and even a coat of arms.

It’s not scary – it’s stunning. A powerful reminder of history, death, and artistry. And it’s one of the most visited landmarks in all of Czechia.

Don’t miss: The central chandelier made from every bone in the human body.

St. Barbara’s Cathedral – Gothic Perfection

After the Bone Church, head to the heart of Kutná Hora and prepare to be wowed. St. Barbara’s Cathedral is a soaring, majestic Gothic masterpiece with flying buttresses, stained glass, and views over vineyards.

It’s named after the patron saint of miners – fitting, since Kutná Hora grew rich on silver. Inside, you’ll find intricate frescoes, late-Gothic details, and a peaceful atmosphere that contrasts perfectly with Sedlec’s drama.

Fun fact: The cathedral took over 500 years to complete.

3. Historic Town Center

Kutná Hora’s old town is compact, charming, and full of surprises. Think pastel houses, cobblestone streets, fountains, quirky statues, and cozy cafés. You can easily walk between the main sights – or just relax with a view.

Good to know: It’s less touristy than Český Krumlov, but just as beautiful.

4. Silver Mining Museum

Want to go deeper (literally)? Visit the Hrádek Museum and take a tour of the underground silver mine tunnels. You’ll wear a helmet and lamp, and get a feel for the life of a medieval miner.

Tip: Not for claustrophobes – but definitely memorable.

How to Get There – The Easy Way

Sure, you can take a train and walk. But it’s slow, hot in summer, and involves transfers. The smart option? Book a private day trip from Prague.
