Kutná Hora

Where to shoot

• Cathedral of St. Barbara — a soaring Gothic church with dramatic flying buttresses and a distinctive triple-tented roof
• Sedlec Ossuary — a chapel decorated with the bones of thousands, including an elaborate bone chandelier
• Italian Court — a former royal mint and palace at the heart of the medieval silver town
• Jesuit College terrace — a Baroque walkway lined with statues offering views toward St. Barbara's

When to go

Spring through early autumn brings pleasant weather for visiting the bone-filled Sedlec Ossuary and Gothic cathedral on an easy day trip from Prague; summer weekends draw the most day-trippers.

What to eat

Traditional Bohemian fare such as roast meats and dumplings in the town's restaurants and beer halls.

Where to stay

Most visitors come as a day trip from Prague, though Kutná Hora has small hotels for an overnight stay in the historic center.
