Private Tour: Kutna Hora from Prague

Hoogtepunten

Inbegrepen

Route

1. Kutna Hora became extremely rich thanks to the abundance of high-quality silver mined in the town. This allowed the construction of such amazing sacral structures as the gothic cathedral of St.Barbara, the main dominant of Kutna Hora, the biggest cathedral in Central Europe. Richly decorated, devoted to St.Barbara, the patron of miners (and also the victims of a swift death).

2. The church was built upon on the ground sprinkled with the holy soil brought in from Jerusalem, therefore the cemetery around it became in high demand. When the capacity ceased to suffice in times of the Plague and the Hussite Wars, a blind monk started arranging bones of 40,000 people into pyramids. Later, when the chapel became a property of the Schwarzenberg noble house, the bones were rearranged into ornaments, coats of arms, chandeliers etc. in order to honor the dead and remind the living of our own mortality. NOTE: Effective from 2020, taking photos is forbidden.

3. Make your own coin and bring it home as a souvenir! The Italian Court served as a mint, Royal Palace and later also as a prison and school (concurrently!). We will also take you to the luxurious audience hall and the richly decorated chapel.

4. The Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint John the Baptist may look a somewhat stern compared to the Cathedral of St. Barbara since the Jesuits did not indulge in showing their wealth through rich decorations. Nonetheless, the tall interior designed by the world-famous Santini is stunning its own way. Do not miss the chance to climb up to the upper floor via the amazing spiral stairs!

5. We will pass by this tall dominant of the town which can be seen well from the terrace in front of the Cathedral of St.Barbara.

About Praag

Praag toont een skyline vol torenspitsen boven de Moldau, met een kasteel op de heuvel, een brug vol beelden en een middeleeuwse oude stad.

Het Praagse Kasteel, een van de grootste kasteelcomplexen ter wereld, kroont de heuvel van Hradčany, met de Sint-Vituskathedraal in het midden en de piepkleine huisjes van het Gouden Straatje erachter. Daaronder leiden de barokke paleizen en terrastuinen van de Kleine Zijde naar de Karelsbrug, die vol staat met heiligenbeelden en vanaf het ochtendgloren druk is.

Top-ranked sights in Praag: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
