Things to Do in Kutná Hora: Activities & Entertainment Beyond the Main Sights
Most visitors arrive in Kutná Hora with three stops on the itinerary: the Ossuary at Sedlec, St. Barbara's Cathedral and the Italian Court. Those are undoubtedly places worth seeing — but Kutná Hora has much more. Beneath Barborská street lies a medieval silver mine where you put on a miner's coat and descend into the original tunnels. In the Jesuit college hangs work by Czech and international modern artists. And on Komenského náměstí waits a museum dedicated to the chocolate factory that once supplied half of Europe.
If you have more than one day in Kutná Hora — and we warmly recommend it — there is plenty to explore. Kutná Hora is also an ideal base for day trips: Český Šternberk Castle, Kačina château or the hiking trails of the Vrchlice valley are all within easy reach.
And there's more just around the corner: near the hotels you'll find a bobsled track, go-karts, an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor summer lido. Kutná Hora is the ideal destination not only for history lovers, but also for families with children or groups looking for active fun.
