Kutná Hora Tours and Activities
142 Reviews
Just an hour from Prague, Kutná Hora is a medieval village with a fascinating history. Most travelers head there to see the Sedlec Ossuary, a Roman Catholic chapel decorated with bones that’s known, fittingly, as the Bone Church; however, Kutná Hora’s UNESCO-listed Old Town is also worth a look.
The Basics
Many travelers visit Kutná Hora as part of a private or small-group day trip from Prague. Choose from among half- and full-day tours that stop by the Sedlec Ossuary, as well as other top attractions such as the Cathedral of St. Barbara, the Czech Museum of Silver, and the former Cistercian monastery. Tours typically include round-trip transportation, and some include admission to all the sights.
Things to Know Before You Go
How to Get There
Kutná Hora is located 52 miles (84 kilometers) east of Prague. Trains run from Prague to Kutná Hora hourly, and the train station is a short walk from both the Sedlec Ossuary and the town center.
When to Get There
Summer is the busiest time in Kutná Hora, so for fewer crowds, go in spring or fall. If you’re there in May or early June, you’ll see the Bavarian countryside covered in flowers. And in late June, the Festival of the Royal Silvering officially kicks off the beginning of the tourist season.
The History of the Sedlec Ossuary
During the 14th-century Plague, thousands of bodies were buried in the Sedlec Abbey. Eventually, they needed to be exhumed to make way for new burials. In the late 1800s, a local wood-carver was hired to put the bones in order, and wound up creating a chandelier and other decorations for the chapel. Opt for a private tour of the ossuary to delve into the mystery of the place.

The Bone Church of Kutna Hora: The Real and Imagined Audio Tour by VoiceMap
1
If you love the spiritual, the macabre, a place where stories are made, then you must visit The Ossuary at Sedlec, or The Bone Church of Kutna Hora. It’s one of those rare places that transcends expectations and leaves most visitors dumbstruck in the most glorious, soul-quenching way.
It sits about an hour outside of Prague, and the only feature that advertises that there’s more than meets the eye to The Bone Church is the skull and crossbones spiked at the top of its spire.
This tour guides you around the The Bone Church, and past another UNESCO World Heritage site, the Gothic cathedral of The Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist. I'll illuminate you on the region's past, it's more recent history under the Soviet Union, and it's transformation into a parliamentary democracy.
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Kutná Hora: Coiners of Medieval Europe - 7 hour Private Day Trip from Prague
Just one hour’s drive from Prague, this Kutna Hora day tour acquaints you with a charming medieval town inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Fund, full of picturesque monuments and sites that take you back to another age. From the 1300s, the mines in Kutná Hora contributed an entire third of the European production of silver, spurring the economic dominance of the Bohemian Kingdom. The silver “Prague groschen” was a hard currency throughout Central Europe for several centuries. Naturally, the wealth of Kutná Hora prompted the town to express its importance by commissioning soaring medieval cathedrals, elegant town squares, and townhouses that we can still enjoy today. With your historian guide, you will also visit nearby Sedlec, to experience the uncanny and fantastic Baroque Bone Chapel or Ossuary decorated with the skeletons of 60,000 victims of the plagues and Hussite Wars.
