Built on an extensive silver ore field, Kutna Hora became the second most significant town in the Czech Republic during the 13th century. The city's principal landmark, the rare Church of St. Barbara, ranks among the world's most dramatic basilicas, exemplifying late Gothic architecture in Bohemia. On this tour, you'll experience the exterior grandeur of the church on a panoramic tour of the city. You'll walk the "little Charles bridge" to the Old Mint and the Ossuary, where legend has it that a handful of earth from Christ's grave was brought to Sedlec and scattered over the Ossuary, thus turning it into a pilgrimage site for believers from all over Central Europe. Tour departs at 1:00 p.m. from Narodni Street 38. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure time. Drop off in city center.
