Why go
Silver drew miners to the area in the thirteenth century and made Kutná Hora important to the Bohemian crown. The town's historic centre is UNESCO listed, and Sedlec's monastic beginnings add another layer to the story. Walk the centre with the mining economy in mind rather than seeing it as a collection of unrelated old buildings.
What to look for
- The historic centre shaped by medieval silver wealth
- The older settlement of Sedlec
- The town's connection to the Bohemian crown
Useful to know
- Give the historic centre its own walk, then consider Sedlec as a separate part of the visit.
- Check access details for any mine or interior visit before relying on it as the day's main activity.
