Kutná Hora

For walking, we would choose late spring or early autumn. In summer, start with streets and squares, leaving longer indoor visits until after lunch. In winter, fit terraces and town views into daylight hours and check the seasonal operation of the places you plan to visit.

GASK and the Silver Museum normally close on Mondays. The mine tour also has seasonal limits. Allocate museum visits first, then arrange the other stops around them.

Begin day one at St Barbara’s Church. Allow time for the interior, then walk beside the former Jesuit College and take a lunch break. Afterwards, visit the Italian Court, the former royal mint and palace. Its displays connect the town’s history with the making of money. Check the tour format and language; striking a souvenir coin is offered separately. Finish at the late Gothic Stone Fountain and return through the central streets.

Start day two in Sedlec. Visit the ossuary in the Church of All Saints, followed by the separate Cathedral of the Assumption. The cathedral deserves its own stop: its reconstruction is associated with Santini’s Baroque Gothic architecture. Back in the centre, choose Hrádek, home to the Silver Museum. Arrange the guided medieval mine visit and your preferred language in advance.

If you have a third day, give it to GASK at the Jesuit College. The gallery presents art from the late nineteenth century to the present. Choose an exhibition and take a break in the gardens. For a two-day trip, this block can replace the mine. The gallery and gardens have different opening hours, so check each separately before arranging your day.

The ossuary requires a ticket for a particular date and time, and photography inside is prohibited. As checked on 2 November 2026, the parish reports no step-free access during reconstruction; entry involves steps. St Barbara’s ground floor has step-free access, while its gallery requires stairs. Children under six cannot enter the Hrádek mine.

Buy Sedlec tickets online or at the information centre at Zámecká 279, rather than at the church doors. Compare the ticket’s coverage with your visit order before paying. Sedlec Cathedral opens later for sightseeing on Sundays; services can alter its usual arrangements.

České dráhy describes a journey from Praha hl.n. to Kutná Hora hl.n., continuing by local train to Kutná Hora město. The latter station is more convenient for walking into the centre. Choose a connection for your actual travel date and save the destination station’s name with your ticket.

Bus 801 is another option from the main station; Kamenný dům and Kamenná kašna are useful stops for the centre. The return route follows a one-way loop through town, so check the direction of the stop. With a large suitcase, first ask your accommodation about the best drop-off point, then arrange your first timed visit.

For two days, we would look for accommodation in the historic centre, using the walk between Palackého Square and Barborská Street as a reference. This makes it easier to return after dinner and take breaks between museums. Ask about the route from the nearest stop and any stairs before reaching your room.

Compare staying in Sedlec with the plan for your particular trip. It is convenient for its own monuments, while an evening in the centre requires a separate return journey. For an early departure, the connection to the correct station matters. Drivers should confirm parking and permitted access to the address beforehand.

Local menus include svíčková, beef with a creamy sauce and dumplings, and roast duck with red cabbage; Restaurant Dačický offers both, for example. We would choose one main dish and leave time for an unhurried lunch between visits.

Wine is another local interest. Vinné sklepy Kutná Hora holds tastings at St Ursula’s Convent, with group programmes booked in advance. Check the current format and available time. If you prefer a regular dinner, the day’s menu provides another way to explore the town through food.
