Suggested one-day plan
Take an early train to Kutná Hora and begin in Sedlec with the ossuary and nearby Church of the Assumption.
Use a local train, bus or taxi to reach the historic centre, then stop for lunch.
Visit St. Barbara’s Cathedral and walk through the old centre toward the Italian Court.
Return to the appropriate station in time for the train back to Prague.
Trains from Prague generally take around one hour. Some services arrive at Kutná Hora hlavní nádraží, which is near Sedlec but outside the historic centre. Local trains, buses or taxis may be needed between the main station, Sedlec Ossuary and central Kutná Hora, so check the connection before travelling.
A full day (7–9 hours) allows time for both Sedlec and the historic centre.
- Sedlec and the historic centre are separate areas of Kutná Hora.
- Check which station your train uses and plan local connections.
- Advance tickets can be useful for the ossuary and cathedral in busy periods.
- The historic centre has cobbled streets and some slopes.
