Begin your day with a 9:00 AM pickup directly from your hotel in Prague. Enjoy a comfortable one-hour drive east to the historic town of Kutna Hora, once one of the richest cities in the Kingdom of Bohemia and today one of the country’s most remarkable UNESCO Sites.
Famous for its silver-mining heritage, magnificent Gothic architecture, and remarkably preserved medieval atmosphere, Kutna Hora offers a fascinating journey into the Czech Republic’s golden age. And for gaming enthusiasts, there’s an extra treat: the town and its surroundings also feature prominently in the internationally acclaimed Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, making it an especially exciting destination for fans of the series.
Your first stop will be the world-famous Sedlec Ossuary, often referred to as the Bone Church. Its interior is decorated with remarkable artistic creations made from the bones of tens of thousands of people, making it one of the most unique and thought-provoking religious monuments in the world.
After exploring the Sedlec Ossuary, continue into the historic heart of Kutna Hora, where your leisurely guided walking tour begins. As you wander through its charming medieval streets, your guide will bring the town’s remarkable history to life with fascinating stories about the silver mines that once made Kutna Hora one of the wealthiest cities in Europe.
Visit the magnificent St. Barbara’s Cathedral, stroll past the impressive former Jesuit College, and stop at several panoramic viewpoints offering beautiful views of the town. Along the way, you’ll also see the historic Italian Court, once home to the Royal Mint, as well as the Museum of Silver, where the story of Kutna Hora’s mining heritage continues.
Have plenty of time to explore the picturesque cobblestone streets lined with charming boutiques, cafés, and local shops before finishing your visit with a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants.
Your final destination of the day is the magnificent Konopiste Castle, located approximately one hour from Kutna Hora on your way back to Prague. Beautifully nestled among rolling hills and surrounded by extensive forests, this romantic château was once the residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination in Sarajevo in 1914 became the catalyst for the outbreak of the First World War.
Here, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the castle’s beautifully preserved interiors and discover its fascinating collections of historical weapons, elegant furnishings, priceless tapestries, and one of Europe’s largest collections of hunting trophies.
At approximately 5:00 PM, begin your journey back to Prague, arriving at your hotel around 6:00 PM.
