Kutná Hora Day Trip
Kutná Hora is 70 minutes by train from Prague — the Sedlec Ossuary (Bone Church), decorated entirely with human bones arranged into chandeliers and coats of arms, is one of the world's most bizarre and compelling monuments. The St Barbara's Cathedral above the town is a gorgeous flamboyant Gothic masterpiece.
Tips for your Prague trip
- Stay in the Old Town or Vinohrady — the city centre is very walkable and the metro is simple if you need it; tourist areas are best avoided after dark for inflated prices.
- The Astronomical Clock show (on the hour) draws enormous crowds — you don't need to fight for a spot; the clock itself and the surrounding square are worth seeing at any time.
- Czech currency is CZK (crown) — avoid currency exchange booths near tourist areas and use ATMs instead; credit cards are widely accepted but exchange rates at tourist booths are typically terrible.
- The Czech beer culture is extraordinary: Pilsner Urquell, Kozel, and Budvar are all brewed here; a half-litre in a local pub (hospoda) costs around 50 CZK — less than €2.
