Kutna Hora is a nice town. I felt far removed from the lively city of Prague... which is natural since it is a one hour ride via train. There are a handful of sites to see while visiting Kutna Hora: Alchemy Museum, Cathedral of St Barbora, Hradek and Czech Silver Museum, Italian Court, Jesuit College, St James Church, and of course Sedlec Ossuary (I like to call it the bone church). When the stores are open, you can easily spend and entire day or more walking the streets. However, you can see all the sites in one day. Be prepared to walk... as it is a bit of a walk from the train station, but nothing too bad!
Lonely Planet Guide says: Kutna Hora once marched in step with the capital, and with little help from fate, might even have stolen its crown as the heart and soul of Bohemia. Enriched by the silver ore that ran in veins through the surrounding hills, the medieval city once enjoyed explosive growth, becoming the seat of Wenceslas II's royal mint in 1308 and residence of Wenceslas IV just under 100 years later. But while boom-time Kutna Hora was Prague's undisputed understudy, the town tripped out of history when the silver mines began to splutter and run dry in the 16th century; a demise hastened by the Thirty Years' War and finally certified by a devastating fire in 1770. While the capital continued to expand, its sister city largely vanished from sight. Kutna Hora was added to Unecso's World Heritage List in 1996.

Did a pub crawl in Kutna hora. Stayed at Centrum Pension and the receptionist asked me "how much do you want to pay" when i said that i was looking for accommodation. I got a double room for 300kc a night which wasnt all that bad , but it was without heating! In WINTERTIME! But the blanket was warm so i managed. I cant really be mad at those people since the gave me a free coffee and free use of the internet. But.. I arrived around 8 o clock , took a shower and felt ready to conquer the town....

After yet another fantastically crazy bus ride back to Prague (they over sell seats and folks were packed in the aisles standing for two hours!), we made our way to Kutna Hora, the town famous for its bone church, or Ossuary. About 40,000 folks decorate that place. I couldn't stop taking pictures! Bizarre. I can't decide if cremation is better or lending yourself to art, but it's not something I wanted to ponder too long.
Kutna Hora itself is a pretty town b...

If you are ever in Prague, definitely make a trip to see the bone church in Kutna Hora. Its less than an hour away by train. The town has other sites as well, but nothing is as eerie and cool at the same time as a room full of bones stacked by a half blind monk hundreds of years ago.

I first heard of Prague some years ago watching some Halloween magic
show on TV where the magician went to Prague and played a bunch of
tricks on unsuspecting tourists and such. During the show he also went
to the Ossuary in Kutna Hora, from that moment i knew someday I wanted
to go to Prague, and I wanted to see this 'Bone Church'.
Getting onto the bus in Prague bound for Kutna Hora, I spotted a
Coopers sparkling ale badge on a bag, and knew that I was in the
presence of someone from ...
