This tour takes you about 65 km (40 mi) east of Prague to Kutna Hora, an ancient silver mining town founded in the l3th century. Kutna Hora's splendid Gothic architecture has earned the town its place in UNESCO's cultural heritage listing. Our tour through the town includes visits to St. Barbara's Cathedral with its valuable paintings, and the former Royal Mint that once produced the region's tender (Prague groschen). Optional venues include the silver mines located below the city center (not recommended for the claustrophobic) and the macabre "Bone Church", whose interiors are exclusively decorated with - you guessed it - human bones.
