Kutna Hora & St. Barbara Cathedral & Ossuary
Description
Step back into time with a trip to the beautifully preserved medieval town of Kutna Hora.Visit gothic landmarks including the cathedral of St. Barbara and the Bone Chapel, once a mint and royal residence. Kutna Hora is a World Heritage site. After a one hour drive east of Prague you will arrive at the immensley architecturally rich town of Kutna Hora, which was built in the Middle Ages in the midst of an extensive silver ore field. It became over the course of time because of the production of money which symbolizes the force and wealth of Czech kings and the kingdom. While walking through the historical centre of the town you quickly realize why it was recognized as a UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage site. The interior of the Cathedral of St. Barbara (patroness of the miners) undoubtedly ranks among the best examples of late Gothic architecture in Bohemia. You will visit the church, the Old Mint and the Sedlec Ossuary - the Bone Chapel.

Having been notified 48 hours in advance and arriving on time for the activity, we encountered the unpleasant surprise that it had to be canceled due to not reaching the minimum number of participants. The option offered was an extra payment (a ticket for a third person). In response to our refusal, the tour did NOT take place. It is unacceptable to play with the tourist's time like this. To add to that, there is the disappointment of not being able to experience what was agreed upon.
You will spend more time getting to and from the experience than at the experience. Pleasant ride. Beautiful little towns very interesting content. Our guide Daniel was knowledgeable and very pleasant.
Interesting story, good timing and duration of the tour. I would have liked more free time near the Church of St. Barbara.
Very nice and interesting. a little too short for my taste but still great wonderful ancient town with great architecture and history
It was a very cosy trip with 3 of us excluding our guide Victor. Victor shared lots of background information of the places we visited. It is a good day trip to take if you have half a day to spend.
Victor was an amazing guide. Professionsal, timely, and a wealth of knowledge. His vehicle was extremely clean. Highly recommend this tour and be sure to ask for Victor!
The day trip to Kutna Hora was very informative and well planned. Not having to navigate the train station was an added plus. The walk to the Bone Church after the train ride was simple and easy to do. We were given enough time to see the cemetery and inside of the church. From there we went by bus to see St, Barbara (saint of the miners) Church inside and out. A lot of great information was given from our guide Jan. He explained the building style and the length of time to build and finish the church in all its Gothic attire. Besides the church we saw the mint, Jesuit College, the ornate finger structure, and stopped at a nice cozy restaurant for lunch. The total time away from Prague was seven and a half hours from Prague. It was nice to visit another city nearby.
Agency was very helpful when our original tour was cancelled. They got us in another one right away. Lovely guide and driver.
Very nice building, magnificent stained glass windows, the organ is also very beautiful. Beautiful murals, the whole is to be seen if you are not far
The tour itself was a great experience. Our tour guide was wonderful but he had some tourists that would not meet up at scheduled times. That put our group behind but that was not his fault. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, we loved him.
