Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
After a comfortable private transfer from Prague, your journey begins in the historical center of Kutná Hora, once a thriving silver-mining town and rival to Prague in wealth and prestige. Your guide will take you through cobbled lanes and architectural landmarks, including the breathtaking St. Barbara’s Cathedral, built by miners to match the grandeur of St. Vitus in Prague. Inside, admire the soaring vaulted ceilings and vibrant frescoes depicting scenes from everyday life and medieval spirituality. Continue to the Italian Court, a former royal residence and mint that once produced the famed Prague groschen. Your guide will share stories of the city’s golden age, the evolution of coinage, and the role this town played in shaping Bohemia’s economy. For those interested in a deeper dive, you can explore an actual medieval silver mine or view a horse-powered mining machine, available seasonally for adventurous guests. The tour culminates at the haunting Sedlec Ossuary, a chapel adorned with the bones of over 40,000 people, crafted into chandeliers, coats of arms, and decorative elements that blur the line between reverence and the macabre. Between visits, enjoy lunch at a traditional Czech restaurant (not included), and if desired, enhance your day with a private organ concert at St. Barbara’s Cathedral, an exclusive experience that must be pre-booked and is sure to leave a lasting impression.
