Praha hlavni nadrazi
Your Kutná Hora day trip commences at Praha hlavní nádraží, Prague's impressive main train station and a notable Art Nouveau landmark. Meet your guide in front of the main ticket office of České dráhy (Czech Railways) between 9:15 AM and 9:30 AM, prior to the 10:00 AM departure.
With some time before boarding, your guide will lead you to the Wilson Memorial, honoring U.S. President Woodrow Wilson for his role in Czechoslovakia's founding in 1918 – a fitting start before a day immersed in Bohemian history.
From here, relax and enjoy the scenic one-hour train journey eastward across the Bohemian countryside, passing rolling hills, small villages, and church spires. Prague will gradually give way to the quieter towns that once powered the region's medieval silver mining prosperity.
Praha hlavní nádraží is easily accessible via metro (Line C, Hlavní nádraží station), tram, or on foot from central Prague, making it a convenient starting point for your Kutná Hora day trip from Prague.

The Cemetery Church of All Saints with the Ossuary
Your initial stop in Kutná Hora is the Sedlec Ossuary, located within the Cemetery Church of All Saints – one of the Czech Republic's most unique sites.
Before entering, your guide will gather the group in the adjacent graveyard for 5-10 minutes to recount the remarkable history of this small Gothic chapel: how soil from Jerusalem, brought back in the 13th century, made Sedlec a highly sought-after burial ground in Central Europe. Discover how a 19th-century woodcarver later arranged the remains of an estimated 40,000 to 70,000 people into the bone chandeliers, garlands, and coat of arms visible today.
To show respect for the site and aid in its preservation for future visitors, your time inside the ossuary is limited to 30 minutes, and photography is forbidden. Please put your camera away during this part of the tour and experience the bone church with your own eyes.
It is a small, solemn, and truly unforgettable stop on any Kutná Hora day trip from Prague.

Break at Coffin & Coffee
Following the evocative visit to the Ossuary, enjoy a well-deserved 10-minute break at Coffin & Coffee, a charming café situated just steps from the cemetery gates. Its playful name is a nod to the bone church you've just explored.
Grab an espresso, a pastry, or simply catch your breath before continuing your Kutná Hora day trip. This 5-star Google local favorite is praised for its friendly service and excellent coffee.
From here, board a local public bus for the short ride into the heart of Kutná Hora's UNESCO-listed Old Town.
Utilizing public transport for this segment of the journey ensures it is carbon neutral, a small gesture of appreciation for the natural beauty of Kutná Hora and the surrounding Bohemian countryside.
It's a brief pause, but a welcome one – offering both a caffeine boost and a change of pace between two distinct aspects of this medieval mining town.

Socha Svateho Floriana
Continue along the tree-lined terrace connecting St Barbara's Cathedral and the former Jesuit College, one of Kutná Hora's most picturesque areas. Pause at the Statue of St Florian (Socha svatého Floriána), the patron saint of protection against fire, one of several Baroque statues lining this elevated walkway.
Your guide will point out the Jesuit College itself, an imposing 17th-century building that once served as a seminary for Jesuit priests and now houses a gallery for modern and contemporary art.
From this terrace, enjoy expansive views over the Vrchlice valley and the rooftops of Kutná Hora below – offering one of the best photo opportunities on the entire day trip and a peaceful moment to appreciate the medieval town from above before proceeding.

Lunch at Dačický
After your morning exploring Kutná Hora's churches, take a break for lunch at Dačický, a popular local restaurant housed in a beautifully restored historic building near the Old Town.
Named after the Czech writer Mikuláš Dačický z Heslova, this atmospheric tavern serves hearty, traditional Czech cuisine – such as goulash, chicken schnitzel, and svíčková, accompanied by rich sauces and served with bread or potato dumplings – in a dining room featuring exposed timber beams, painted ceilings, and centuries-old stone walls.
They offer a limited-batch beer brewed locally in Kutná Hora – a genuine taste you won't find back in Prague, priced at €2.50 for 0.5l.
Lunch is at your own expense and pace, allowing a relaxed hour to refresh before the afternoon's exploration continues at Hrádek. This family-run business is in its second generation, with an average meal price of €15 (beer is €2.50 for 0.5l), offering excellent value.
You are welcome to bring your own lunch and sit with the group to enjoy it.

Historicke Centrum Kutne Hory
Arriving in the heart of Kutná Hora's UNESCO-listed Old Town, wander through cobbled lanes and quiet squares that were once part of one of medieval Europe's most prosperous silver-mining settlements.
Your guide will highlight the Gothic and Baroque facades, hidden courtyards, and grand merchant houses that contributed to this compact town's wealth, enabling it to rival Prague in the Middle Ages.
A notable stop is the Vlašský dvůr (Italian Court), the town's former royal palace and mint. It is named after the Italian metalworkers brought in to strike the renowned Prague groschen silver coins here in the 14th century.
Observe the carved coats of arms and coin reliefs adorning its facade, a reminder of the prosperity that once flowed through this unassuming building.
Your guide will complete the narrative of Kutná Hora's rise as a medieval powerhouse before you head back towards the train station for your return journey to Prague.
