Bus Hire in Kutna Hora

Kutna Hora is the Czech Republic's most visited day-trip destination outside Prague, thanks to two extraordinary attractions: the Sedlec Ossuary (the 'Bone Church'), whose interior is decorated with the remains of up to 70,000 people, and St Barbara's Cathedral -- a flamboyant Gothic masterpiece begun in 1388 and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town was medieval Bohemia's silver-mining capital and second city, its wealth evident in the extraordinary ambition of its architecture.

At just 80 km east of Prague (approximately 1 hour by coach on the D1), Kutna Hora is the most accessible major heritage site from the Czech capital. Coaches have a dedicated parking area near the Sedlec Ossuary and another near St Barbara's Cathedral.

Sedlec Ossuary (Bone Church)

The Sedlec Ossuary is in the suburb of Sedlec, 2 km north of the town centre. The ossuary's decorative arrangements of human bones include a central chandelier said to contain every bone in the human body, four large pyramids of skulls, and the Schwarzenberg family coat of arms rendered in bone. Coaches park in the dedicated bay at Zamecka Street. Queues can be long in peak season; pre-booked group tickets are essential.

St Barbara's Cathedral and Historic Centre

St Barbara's Cathedral (Chram svate Barbory) sits on the hill above the town, its triple tent roofs visible from miles away. The interior vaulting is exceptional. The Italian Court (Vlassky dvur), the former royal mint, is in the town centre and explains the silver-mining economy that funded the cathedral. Group tickets can be combined for both sites.

Silver Mining Heritage

The silver mines beneath Kutna Hora operated from the 13th to the 17th century. The Hradek Museum of Silver offers underground mine tours in hard hats, exploring the original shafts. Pre-booking is essential for group mine tours.
