Private Tour: Kutna Hora from Prague
Enter the time machine and embark on a journey to the UNESCO listed Kutna Hora, the town from the middle ages, which provided the top quality silver for about 70% of the European coins of the era! Get spooked in the Sedlec Ossuary decorated by bones of 40,000 people, marvel at the richly decorated Cathedral of St. Barbara, one of the grandest cathedrals in Central Europe and take a photo by the "instagrammatic" Santini's round stairs in the sterner, yet equally impressive, Church of the Assumption of Our Lady or be awed by the majestic beauty of other sacral structures in this once-famous town. And you will create your own souvenir when we will show you the traditional way to make a coin during the tour of the Italian Court, which served as a mint, Royal Palace and then eventually prison and school (concurrently!). Its ceremonial hall and the chapel will take your breath away!

What's included in Private Tour: Kutna Hora from Prague
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
St Barbara's Cathedral
Kutna Hora became extremely rich thanks to the abundance of high-quality silver mined in the town. This allowed the construction of such amazing sacral structures as the gothic cathedral of St.Barbara, the main dominant of Kutna Hora, the biggest cathedral in Central Europe. Richly decorated, devoted to St.Barbara, the patron of miners (and also the victims of a swift death).
The Cemetery Church of All Saints with the Ossuary
The church was built upon on the ground sprinkled with the holy soil brought in from Jerusalem, therefore the cemetery around it became in high demand. When the capacity ceased to suffice in times of the Plague and the Hussite Wars, a blind monk started arranging bones of 40,000 people into pyramids. Later, when the chapel became a property of the Schwarzenberg noble house, the bones were rearranged into ornaments, coats of arms, chandeliers etc. in order to honor the dead and remind the living of our own mortality. NOTE: Effective from 2020, taking photos is forbidden.
Italian Court
Make your own coin and bring it home as a souvenir! The Italian Court served as a mint, Royal Palace and later also as a prison and school (concurrently!). We will also take you to the luxurious audience hall and the richly decorated chapel.
