About this Tour

Kutna Hora – the city of silver and deservedly attributed by the other name “national treasury” as its wealth helped to ensure the boom of the Bohemian Kingdom. The center of the city was included in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1995 thanks to its historical importance and architectural gems. The symbol of Kutna Hora is with no doubts the unique late Gothic Cathedral of St. Barbara while the one hour away Konopiste Castle resembles a lot to French castles from the Gothic period. Its history goes back to the 13th century since when it has suffered many transformations. In 1887 it becomes the home of the succeeding prince Franz Ferdinand of Austria and then a museum and tourist attraction, long after his assassination in Sarajevo 1914, which triggered off the World War I.

All of the Kutna Hora’s streets, houses, and churches exude a long history full of important events, more or less linked to a silver so you can visit a medieval silver mine, where you will learn about the whole process from digging a silver ore to striking the coins in local mints, like tolars, ducats or Prague groschen – which was one of the most stable currencies in Europe at that time.

Admire the beauty of the gothic St. Barbara Cathedral and appreciate the rarity of the Bone Church in nearby Sedlec together with it’s mysterious ossuary. Then in the afternoon see the lovely area of Konopiste Castle an take the excursion inside to be amazed by the rooms of Franz Ferdinand family and his collection of hunting trophies, fine weapons, furniture, and tapestries.

After meeting you up at 9am at your hotel in Prague, we’ll be driving you east for just about one hour to reach the Kutna Hora – very lovely historical town with medieval core, featuring many sites from the silver era with a finest Gothic architecture, and for a gaming enthusiast… also being a main place from the world wide known title Kingdom Come – Deliverance 2 😉

We’ll start first by a visit of the Church of Bones – very unique Catholic place, completely decorated by artistic pieces from the real humans bones, so if you thought you saw everything in your live already, think again 🙂

Once in Kutna Hora itself, we’ll start our walking tour of this amazing town, so our guide will take you through the most beautiful parts of it and at the same time, you’ll be getting lot of information from the history. We’ll be covering the famous Cathedral of St. Barbara, walking by former Jesuit College, stopping on few beautiful viewpoints for a nice pics and you’ll have a chance to see the former Royal Mint as well as Museum of Silver. We will also explore a little cobblestones streets with many local shops throughout the old town and before we leave, time for a delicious lunch at local place 😉

Another hour away, slightly back towards the Prague, we will stop on our last destination of today – the Castle of Konopiste, set beautifully surrounded by a vast forest and once residence of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. We will depart from Konopiste at around 5pm, so you will be back to your hotel at Prague at around 6pm… we believe happy and full of remarkable memories 😉

Please note that we are very flexible as with every of our tours. This is just the suggested itinerary from our side and all the sites listed are pretty optional, so for example if you don’t want to visit the St. Barbara Cathedral inside… it is absolutely fine 😉 Or maybe you’re not interested in a coffee stop or you would like to have something else for your lunch… fine too 😉 …we have always plan B, C or D in our pocket 🙂 You might be also interested to see some sites not mentioned here which is also fine as this is your day, you are on a private tour and we will always do our best to accommodate all your wishes – unless they’re unrealistic 🙂
