Small travel destination | 🇨🇿Kutná Hora, a small town near Prague

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 When the most beautiful internet celebrity ck town became popular all over the Internet, I still want to strongly recommend another town near Prague (Kutná Hora) for this off-peak experience! This place historically prospered due to silver mining and is really worth spending a day to experience. 1. Transportation It is very convenient to travel to and from Prague Railway Station. The one-way trip takes one hour and the ticket price is 142 crowns. Please note that you should buy tickets to Kutna Hora hl.n station on muj vlak (not Kolin station, you can only choose Kolin station on omio and almost booked the wrong ticket) 2. Attractions worth visiting 1. The famous Sedlec Bone Church: This church is famous for its decoration of 40,000 human bones. Its interior has skull chandeliers, bone family emblems, bone pyramids and other designs. Created to commemorate those who died during the Black Death and war in the 14th century. 2. Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and St. John the Baptist: Next to the Church of Bones, there is a beautiful Czech sail dome. 3. St. Barbara's Church: It is a Gothic building dedicated to St. Barbara, the patron saint of miners. It took more than 500 years to build. The church has a magnificent exterior, with many spires, flying buttresses and beautifully decorated arches. Inside, the church has decorative murals related to mining and coinage painted on slender columns, as well as huge stained glass windows. You can buy a combined ticket for the above three churches (price 360 ​​kronor) at the info. office, which is about a 10-minute walk from getting off the train station. After visiting the first two churches, take bus No. 801 to St. Barbara's Church. 4. Kutna Hora Silver Mine Museum: It is a museum that showcases the rich mining history of the local area. The most worthwhile silver mine tour is to go down to a mine tunnel 30 meters underground and immerse yourself in the mine (price 200 kronor). The mine tunnel is narrow, with the narrowest part being only 40 centimeters and the shortest part being 120 centimeters. You need to bend down all the time to move forward. In one of the more spacious places, the staff asked us to turn off all the headlights to experience what it is like to be in a compact semi-enclosed space in total darkness, and whether you can escape if a mine accident occurs. In addition, when explaining in the museum, there is a painting that depicts the mining life of the town at that time. At the bottom are the miners mining, in the middle are the women and children of the town participating in metallurgical processing, and above are the merchants purchasing and trading.
