Kutna Hora · Backpacking

Direct services run from Prague to Kutna Hora hlavni nadrazi in about an hour, which makes this a genuine day return if you want it to be. Book online for the cheaper fares rather than at the window.

Kutna Hora hlavni nadrazi sits in Sedlec, 3 km from the old town, next to the ossuary. Do Sedlec first, then continue in to Kutna Hora mesto rather than walking the same stretch twice - that ordering alone saves an hour and a fare.

Since 2019 the Sedlec monuments do not sell tickets at the door. Everything goes through the Kutna Hora - Sedlec infocentre at Zamecka 279, and the ticket office closes fifteen minutes before the monuments do, so do not arrive at ten to five.

The single best-value thing here costs nothing: the old town empties completely once the Prague coaches leave in the late afternoon, and Sultysova and Palackeho namesti after four are the version of Kutna Hora people write home about.

The Sedlec monuments are 30-90 Kc each for adults and 15-60 Kc for children depending on which one, so the whole Sedlec side comes in around 150 Kc. Add a lunch menu in the old town and a beer and you are near 400 Kc for the day. The out-of-town family attractions are what change the maths: Kacina alone is 180 Kc an adult.
