Kutna Hora Travel Guide

Kutna Hora, about 90 kms from prague, was the richest and the most significant town of Medieval Bohemia. Rich silver deposits were discovered in its vicinity in the 13th century and they helped win fame and glory for the Kingdom of Bohemia. The well-known Prague groschen - the currency of Europe - was minted here too. A very beautiful place to spend a weekend to week. Laid back township with a population below 25,000. A lot of stuff to see around for a tiny place. Great of history buffs. Well maintained heritage and attractions. Some of the places to be seen without fail during your visit to Kutna Hora:

Church of St. Barbara - dedicated to the patroness of miners
Hradek and mine Osel - unique medieval silver mine
Italian Court - central mint of kingdom of bohemia
Monastic Church of the Assumption - the largest church in gothic style
Stone House - burger house from the 15th century
and many more

Well connected by train and road tranaport systems. Enjoy Kutna Hora

It's a lovely place and if you ever visit Czech Republic, then give a trip to Kutna Hora, it is a MUST. Once you  go there, you will want to go again and again...It's like a drug:-) It's a hidden treasure in 2 hours from Prague and believe me you will not be sorry for the time you have spent! It's quite a unique place with an interesting atmosphere than inspires peace and makes one be with him/herself and the nature. Though the place is quite small there is a lot to see. Besides, it's also included in the list of UNESCO cultural heritages' list. So, don't even doubt whether it is worth or not

Usually taking a tour is a questionable idea but visiting the smaller Czech cities can prove to be tricky, with confusing trains and multiple connections. I took a Grayline bus tour from Wenceslas Square. Small enough to be intimate and informative enough to get your money's worth! We were able to stop at the nearby Kostnice Ossuary in Sedlec via the bus driver. Very relaxing evening, and beautiful to catch views of the sunset on the way back to Praha.
