What you will do

Starting in Prague’s Old Town square, the tour starts with a train ride (ca. 1 hour) from Prague’s Hlavni Nádraží (Main) train station, through lovely Bohemian countryside, to Kutná Hora. Below the 15th-century Cemetery Church of All Saints at the center lies the curiously fascinating Bone Chapel. Our first stop will be the eerie Sedlec Ossuary - Roman Catholic chapel, estimated to contain the skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people. Whose bones have, in many cases, been artistically arranged to form decorations and furnishings for the chapel. 

After a lunch break at an excellent and very modestly priced (main course around 5 EUR) Czech restaurant, you will have a tour through Kutna Hora’s UNESCO World Heritage Old Town. Take an all-day sightseeing tour to the famous medieval city, covering workshop of Alchemist known as Sancturin House, beautiful Saint Barbara’s Church, Bohemia’s oldest Cistercian Monastery and so much more!

What to expect

Stare in awe as our guide shows you a chandelier comprising at least one of every bone in the human body, pyramids of skulls, and delicately crafted shields of arms made of…yes, you guessed it, arms!

Kutna Hora however is much more than the Bone Chapel! Thanks to the town’s prosperous silver mines, Kutna Hora became the second most decadent city in the Bohemian kingdom in the Middle Ages and flourished, rivaling Prague economically, culturally, and politically. Eventually, the silver dried up, and the town was ravaged by two Holy Wars, but what was left behind still wows tourists to this day: beautiful buildings such as the glorious Gothic masterpiece St. Barbara’s Church, the sumptuous Italian Court, and Royal Residence and Hradek, the little castle.
