Kutná Hora Halal Explorer

Kutná Hora was a silver mining town in medieval times: once the second Czech city to Prague in terms of population. Today it is home to about 21 000 people.

Although Kutná Hora has some comparatively drab modern architecture, it was enscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1995 for the Historical Town Centre, including the Church of Street Barbara and the Gothic Church of Our Lady at Sedlec. At both ends of the town there are some beautiful buildings, and the higher points of the town are home to restored older architecture, with Medieval, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings.

Travel to Kutná Hora

Kutná Hora hl. n. (přední strana) - Kutná Hora hl.n. (main train station)

There are trains roughly hourly from Prague leaving Hlavní nádraží, see the time schedule. Make sure you search for (and buy ticket to) the Kutná Hora město GPS 49.9499,15.2772 station, which much closer to the town than Kutná Hora hl.n. GPS 49.9619,15.3003}}. You will have to switch at Kutná Hora hl.n., sometimes at Kolin|Kolín as well.

A single train ticket is 101 Kč (for two or more people, a group rate, "skupinová sleva", is available, second person pays 61 Kč, each extra person pays 51 Kč). Journey times vary from 52 minutes to 1 hour 12 minutes.

There are buses roughly hourly from Prague leaving the Florenc, Černý Most or Háje bus station, see the time schedule. Some are direct and some require an interchange. The fare is around 70 Kč. Journey time is one hour twenty minutes direct, one hour forty minutes indirect. The main bus station GPS 49.95464,15.27197 is close to the historical center.

How to get around in Kutná Hora

GPS 49.9543|15.2755 layers=PTDW}}

The town is about three kilometers long, so it is feasible to explore Kutná Hora on foot. This isn't particularly rewarding though, as most of it is residential and the attractions (with the exception of the Kostnice Ossuary) are concentrated at the other end of town from the train station.

There is a local bus system with buses arriving to meet the trains. If you want to return to the train station from the historical core, take the bus that says "Hlavni Nádraží" on the front window. A single ride for adults costs 12 Kč and will leave you right at the train station, though the schedule only has two buses an hour, so walking might actually be quicker depending on your timing.

There is also a very convenient, privately operated "tourist bus" that constantly drives between the main train station (Hl. N) and the ossuary, and St. Barbara for 35 Kč per person. The drivers wait until the bus (which is really a mini van) fills up to at least 3 guests and then drives off. He's usually waiting outside the Ossuary, driving people to the St. Barbara Church.

There is also local train connecting historical core (station "Kutná Hora město") and the main station "Kutná Hora hlavní nádraží". It meets the arrival (and departure) of nearly all the express trains, leaving a five-minutes gap for transfer. (This could be a problem if you want to leave luggage at the main station, since (1) there are no left luggage facilities at the local station and (2) if you see both the Ossuary and the city and then it may be convenient to arrive at one station and leave from the other.) You can buy the train ticket from the local station "Kutná Hora město" directly to Prague. The price will be about the same as the price from "Kutná Hora hlavní nádraží" to Prague. This isn't Prague, though, so expect only minimal understanding of non-Czech languages from the ticket sellers. There are no ticket machines or similar amenities.

There are also taxis: usually one or two will meet the train, otherwise they can be a little difficult to find. Unlike in Prague, it is safe to hail them in the street: they won't overcharge. A taxi ride from one end of town to the other is about 80 Kč.

Additional information

• When you arrive at Kutná Hora you may get the Number 1 bus to Kutná Hora Město (Kutná Hora Town Center) or wait at the station for the train that goes to Kutná Hora Město. There are 3 stops, but you're better off at Kutná Hora Mešto if you're headed to the town center and not the Ossuary.
• If you feel fit ...

Then, walking is your best option. When you leave the station, go right until you reach the first intersection (about 3min walk). Then turn left and walk for another 5–8 minutes (it depends on how quickly you walk) and you will come to the church on your left (more details to follow) and the Ossuary on your right. At the Ossuary you need to pay a fee to enter (50 Kč) and another one to take pictures (30 Kč).

After you finish with the Ossuary, you can walk to the town center but it will take 35–45 minutes. Go back to the primary street and turn right. You're now about 2,5 km from the town center.

All you have to do is to follow the road signs until you reach the main attractions in the town center. You cannot miss the St. Barbara's Gothic Church and, April to November and the Hrádek - Czech museum of silver.

Suggested itinerary Arrive at the Kutna Hora Hlavni Nádraží, walk to the Ossuary. Take a bus, tourist shuttle, or walk to St. Barbara's church. Follow the church's exit out to explore the entire city—it leads you directly into the town. There's a lot of cafes, restaurants, souvenir shopping, art museums, and the famous Kutna Hora underground mine tour. At the end of your city exploration, walk to the Kutná Hora Město (Kutná Hora Town Center) Train Station and head back to Prague via a short "shuttle" train to Kutna Hora Hlavni Nádraží.

What to see in Kutná Hora

Ossuary in Sedlec - Bones in Kostnice Ossuary

• Ossuary - Kostnice - Zamecka 127 49.96181, 15.28814 ☎ +420 327 561 143 - This impressive bone church, is better known as the Sedlec Ossuary. The beginning of its story date back to 1278, when Henry and the abbot of Sedlec was sent to the Holy Land. On returning, he brought soil from Golgotha and sprinkled it on the ground here. As a consequence and the burial ground was considered holy and became extremely popular. In 1511 a chapel was constructed to house the bones from abolished graves. The chapel is open to the public, and contains the bones of about 40,000 people, arranged by František Rint in 1870. Rint's work includes an enormous chandelier including every bone in the body, and a crucifix style arrangement near the main altar. The ossuary is open 8am - 6pm (April - September), 9am - 5pm (October, March) and 9am - 4pm (November - February). Closed on 24th December. It is no longer closed noon-1 pm during the off season, though the nearby information center is. Admission is 60 Kč adults and 40 Kč students, though combination packages can be purchased to see other attractions more cheaply. The fee to take photos and videos has either been ended or is now merely ignored.

• Church of St. Barbara 59.94778, 15.26722 The church is located at the opposite end of the Kutná Hora's train station. If you wish to start your tour from there, you may want to get a taxi from the station to the Church and then walk your way around the town center. - St. Barbara's Church, Kutná Hora Kutna Hora CZ Street Barbara Gothic Church front view 02 - The works on the church started around 1380 by Peter Parler's workshop, whose other great work in the Czech Republic includes the imposing St. Vitus Gothic Church at the Prague Castle. The eye-catching spires are truly magnificent. If you're looking for some fantastic Gothic Bohemian style, St. Barbara Church is certainly one of them alongside St. Vitus in Prague (although as you might see it soon after Prague, it might not make the same impression as seeing Vitus, which is even more grand).

• Gothic Church of Assumption of our Lady and Saint John the Baptist - 59.95980, 15.28970At Sedlec

• Italian Courtyard - Vlašský dvůr - 59.94827, 15.26861 - A former royal mint and residence.

Kutná Hora - nádvoří Vlašského dvora - Italian Court in Kutná Hora

• Hrádek / Silver Mines 59.94764, 15.26548 Opening Hours: Tours of the accessible portions of the mines are provided daily, except for Mondays (usual closing day for sights in the Czech Republic). The mines are closed in winter (November–March). Czech museum of silver. The tours through the mines, flooded in the Middle Ages, begin here.

• Torture Museum - Italian Court - 50 Kč A hilariously inauthentic "museum" filled with the most amazing Engrish in the Western hemisphere. Anyone who enjoys movies so bad they're great will be fully satisfied.

Halal Food & Restaurants

Generally and the staff in restaurants around St. Barbara's Gothic Church are friendlier and (oddly) more professional than in Prague. There are a number of Halal restaurants and cafes just underneath the shadow of the cathedral. Some provide a breathtaking view of the valley to the south. The best experience I have had personally was at the restaurant U Hrnčiře (By the Jug Maker's). The food is excellent with traditional Czech dishes alongside a surprising array of Vegetarian dishes. Another choice is Pizzeria Piazza Navona at Palackeho Plaza, which offers traditional (and original) Italian Pizzas and Pastas and homemade tiramisù and panna-cota.

• V Ruthardce - Dačický us. 15☎ +420 739013510 - Stylish and cozy restaurant serving traditional Czech cuisine in a historical building.
