A visit to the medieval silver mining
town of Kutná Hora is a nice day trip from Prague. In as
little as an hour, you can get out of the city and enjoy
the picturesque beauty of this small Czech town with a
big past. In the 13th century, silver was discovered here
and a few decades later the royal
mint was established. The town became famous for
producing the Prague Groschen coins, which were also used
elsewhere in Europe at the time, and became the second
most important town in the Kingdom of Bohemia. Some of
the important sights you will see include the Gothic Cathedral
of Saint Barbora, Wallachian Court (the former
royal mint), and the Sedlec Ossuary (a church decorated
with human bones). After arriving back in Prague, you
will be dropped off on the Old Town Square or, if a large
bus is used, at the Hotel Intercontinental located within
a 10-minute walk from Old Town Square.
