Kutná Hora is where Gothic grandeur meets a touch of the macabre. Once a booming silver mining town in Central Bohemia, it rivaled Prague in wealth and influence during the Middle Ages—and its legacy still echoes through its stunning architecture and eerie underground chapels. Wander through the Italian Court, once the royal mint, and explore the cobbled streets of the Old Town, where every corner whispers tales of medieval ambition. The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary in nearby Sedlec adds another layer of architectural splendor, blending Gothic and Baroque styles. Kutná Hora is perfect for a day trip from Prague, but staying overnight lets you experience its quieter, more contemplative side—when the crowds thin and the town’s ghostly charm deepens.
