Things to do in Kutna Hora, Bohemia: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
A popular daytrip destination from Prague, Kutna Hora offers spectacular faded grandeur without the capital's madding crowds. The financial center of Bohemia until the silver ore ran out, Kutna Hora once rivaled Prague's magnificence. The site of Wenceslas II's Royal Mint in 1308, the town was added to UNESCO's World Heritage list in 1996. Saint Barbara's cathedral and the eerie Kostnice bone church, decorated with disconcerting sculptures of the bones of plague victims, are main attractions.

It was quite a unique experience, there are 9 bone chapels in Europe. It has a great history behind it. The church is decorated with bones and skulls. IT is creepy and fascinating at the same time to see and walk around the church. It is a must visit and is hardly an hour drive from Prague.

Kutna Hora is a lovely city not far from Prague. St Barbara’s Cathedral is amazing. Take a day trip when you visit the Czech Capital. Stroll on the Promenade,in the town centre, there are beautifully restored Baroque and Rococo-style buildings some with Medieval characters. If you want to taste the traditional Czech cuisine visit Restaurace Dučicky and drink a pint of Kutna Hora beer. Excellent food, huge portions, good service, reasonable price.(plus 10% price off- voucher in their chocolate shop). Don’t miss this little gem, a really charming city with lots to explore and enjoy.

The beautiful Cathedral of Our Lady in Sedlec is a UNESCO World Heritage site! A short walk from the Sedlec Ossuary it is worth a quick visit!! Go up the spiraling staircase to see how the old roof was constructed. Never ceases to amaze me at the workmanship that was put into these buildings....
