Kutná Hora is the easiest day trip from Prague: an hour by train and you are in Sedlec, ten minutes' walk from the ossuary. This plan goes from bottom to top: first the bone chapel and the cathedral of Sedlec, next to the station; then the historic centre, with Bohemian food, a medieval silver mine with a helmet and the Cathedral of St Barbara at the end of the afternoon.

## With children or in winter

With children from age 6, the mine is what they will remember; explain the ossuary to them before going in or let them wait outside with an adult. If it is a Monday or December to February, the mine is closed: swap it for the Stone House, on Václavské square, which in November opens from 10:00 to 16:00, or spend more time at St Barbara's.
